An apartment for rent near Lumpini Park is not one address, it is a ring. The park is a wide rectangle bounded by four roads — Rama IV to the south, Ratchadamri to the west, Sarasin to the north and Wireless Road to the east — and the gate you use every morning decides which station you take, what you pay and how long you stand in the sun. We let fifteen furnished homes inside that ring, from ฿85,700 a month.
All of them are let by the calendar month, furnished, with electricity, water, Wi-Fi and housekeeping inside the rate and no platform or booking fee. What follows is the ring, gate by gate, with what each side costs.
How near is near the park
Lumphini is roughly 57 hectares of lawn, lake and rain trees — Bangkok's first public park, and still free to walk into, as its Wikipedia entry sets out. That size is the catch. A flat 400 metres from the north-east corner is nowhere near the south-west gate, and walking through is a fifteen-minute crossing, not a shortcut you take with shopping.
So treat "near the park" as three separate pockets rather than one neighbourhood. Ours split like this.
- South-west corner, the Sala Daeng and Si Lom gates — six homes, 500 m from MRT Si Lom and 700 m from BTS Sala Daeng, plus two serviced flats in Sathon 850 m from BTS Sala Daeng.
- South side, across Rama IV — three serviced apartments 850 m from MRT Lumphini, tagged Central Bangkok rather than Lumpini on our map.
- North-east, Wireless Road — four serviced suites 500 m from BTS Phloen Chit, using the park's Wireless Road gate.
- Nothing we let sits on Ratchadamri or Sarasin, the west and north edges, so ignore those gates when you plan the walk.
The Sala Daeng and Si Lom gates: closest to the running loop
The south-west corner is the one most people mean. The park's busiest entrance is here, the running loop starts a few steps inside it, and the outdoor gym and the open-air aerobics sessions are on this side. It is also the corner where the park meets Silom, so you get the park at six in the morning and a working district by nine.
Six of our homes sit in one 27-storey serviced building on this corner, with two pools, a fitness centre, a sauna and an all-day restaurant. The area opens at ฿85,700 for a 55 m² one-bedroom named for the park, and the floor plans climb from there to 88, 130 and 160 m². These are large flats by central Bangkok standards, which is the real argument for the corner: you are paying park prices and getting square metres back.
| area | from | note | station |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 BR · Lumpini Park · 55 m² | ฿85,700 | Cheapest month by the park; running loop through the Si Lom gate | MRT Si Lom 500 m |
| ARC 1 BR · 39 m² | ฿86,900 | Serviced suite on the Wireless Road side; washer and dryer in the unit | BTS Phloen Chit 500 m |
| 2 BR · City View · 130 m² | ฿107,100 | Sleeps five; balcony over the Silom skyline | MRT Si Lom 500 m |
| 2BR Siam Penthouse · 88 m² | ฿112,100 | High floor, panoramic city view, same building as the one-bedroom | MRT Si Lom 500 m |
| 3 BR · Sky View · 160 m² | ฿119,700 | The most floor space per baht of anything near the park | MRT Si Lom 500 m |
| SPL 2 BR · Serviced | ฿124,700 | South of Rama IV; 8,400 THB electricity allowance inside the rate | MRT Lumphini 850 m |
The Rama IV side: MRT Lumphini and the Sathon edge
South of the park, across Rama IV, is the pocket most searches miss, because the flats there are not filed under Lumpini at all. Three serviced apartments sit 850 m from MRT Lumphini station, on our map under Central Bangkok: a one-bedroom and a two-bedroom at ฿124,700 a month, and a three-bedroom at ฿224,300. Separate living and dining rooms, a kitchenette, a workstation, housekeeping three times a week and linen twice, with an 8,400 THB monthly electricity allowance included and water on top of that.
The trade on this side is a road. Rama IV is six lanes and you cross it at a light or a bridge, which adds a few minutes and a lot of noise to a walk that looks trivial on a map. In return you are on the MRT blue line, next to Sathon, and out of the Silom lunch crowd.
Two more of our Sathon homes are 850 m from BTS Sala Daeng on this same southern edge — a full-service two-bedroom at ฿170,100 and a serviced penthouse at ฿315,000. Sathon as a whole opens at ฿78,100, but those cheaper flats sit further from the park, deeper into the district.
On a map the park has one address. On foot it has four, and the road you have to cross matters more than the metres you have to walk.
The Wireless Road gate: Phloen Chit and the embassies
The north-east side is embassy country: Wireless Road, the diplomatic missions, and BTS Phloen Chit on the Sukhumvit line. Four serviced suites sit 500 m from that station, which puts the park's Wireless Road gate at a longer walk than the south-west homes have — call it ten to fifteen minutes to be inside the gate, and measure it yourself on a map before you decide the park is your morning routine.
What you get instead is service. Soundproofed rooms, a full kitchenette, a washer and tumble dryer in the unit, a bathtub and separate shower, housekeeping and linen three times a week, a rooftop pool and a free tuk-tuk to the station and the malls. Sizes are 39, 45 and 48 m² for the one-bedrooms at ฿86,900, ฿92,000 and ฿94,500, and 66 m² for the high-floor two-bedroom at ฿176,400.
Pick this gate if you work up the Sukhumvit line and want the park at weekends. Pick the south-west corner if you want it every morning.
What a park on your doorstep actually changes
Living beside Lumphini is not about the view — none of these flats is sold as a park-view apartment, and most face the Silom and Sathon skyline instead. It is about the hour before the heat arrives, and the hour after work when the loop fills again.
- The park opens before dawn and closes in the evening; the running loop is busiest at six in the morning and again after six at night, and empty at midday because nobody runs in 34 degrees.
- It is free, and the outdoor gym, the aerobics and the lake path cost nothing either, which quietly removes a gym membership from the monthly budget.
- Monitor lizards live in the lake and on the banks. They are harmless and they are large; you will meet one.
- Between May and October the walk to any gate is a wet one. A ten-minute walk becomes a taxi more often than you expect.
- The park is a genuine buffer: streets facing it are quieter at night than anywhere comparable on Sukhumvit.
Which line the gate puts you on
Bangkok traffic makes distance meaningless and rail lines decisive, so settle the line before the flat. The south-west corner puts you on the BTS Silom line at Sala Daeng and the MRT blue line at Si Lom, which is the strongest interchange near the park. MRT Lumphini, on the south side, is blue line only. Phloen Chit is BTS Sukhumvit line only, one stop short of the Asok interchange. Check the current MRT network map and the BTS route map against your office before you choose a gate.
If the park is the point but the rent is not
Lumpini has the highest entry price of the ten areas we let in. If what you actually want is green space rather than this particular park, Asoke is the answer: thirteen homes beside Benchakitti Park, from ฿72,500, including several sold on the lake view that Lumphini flats do not offer. A 50 m² lakeview studio with a desk is ฿81,000 a month, below anything on the Lumphini ring. If you are still choosing districts rather than buildings, read where to live in Bangkok first.
| area | from | note | station |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lumpini | ฿85,700 | 10 homes on two sides of the park; largest floor plans for the money | MRT Si Lom 500 m / BTS Phloen Chit 500 m |
| Central Bangkok, Rama IV side | ฿124,700 | 3 serviced apartments south of the park, electricity allowance included | MRT Lumphini 850 m |
| Sathon | ฿78,100 | 8 homes; the two nearest the park are ฿170,100 and ฿315,000 | BTS Sala Daeng 850 m |
| Asoke, Benchakitti Park | ฿72,500 | 13 homes by the other big park, several with an actual lake view | MRT Queen Sirikit 1.0 km |
| Rama 4 | ฿46,600 | 6 homes further east; no park, the cheapest furnished month we let | BTS Phra Khanong 900 m |
Taking a month by the park
Minimum stay is one calendar month, there is no platform or booking fee, and the rate covers furniture, electricity, water, Wi-Fi and housekeeping. Fifteen homes across the whole ring is a small pool, and the large flats on the south-west corner go first for cool-season arrivals. Walk the ring on a map, decide your gate, then see the ten Lumpini homes on the Lumpini page and ask us which of them is free for your dates.

Can I get an apartment with a view over Lumphini Park?
None of our Lumpini homes is let as a park-view flat; they are sold on city and skyline views over Silom and Sathon. If a view over green space matters more than the address, the Asoke homes facing Benchakitti Park are let specifically on the lake view, from ฿81,000 a month for a 50 m² studio.
Is Lumphini Park free, and when can you use it?
It is free to enter. The gates open before dawn for runners and close in the evening, with the loop busiest around six in the morning and again after work. Times are posted at each gate and change occasionally, so check the sign on your nearest one.
Can I rent near Lumpini Park for one month only?
Yes. One calendar month is the minimum stay and there is no platform or booking fee on top of the rent. With fifteen homes in the whole ring, availability is the constraint rather than the length of stay, so ask early if you need a two- or three-bedroom.
