Asok station (Thai: สถานีอโศก, pronounced [sā.tʰǎː.nīː ʔā.sòːk]) is a BTS Skytrain station on the Sukhumvit Line in Watthana and Khlong Toei Districts, Bangkok, Thailand. The station is located on Sukhumvit Road at Asok Montri Intersection, with an interchange to MRT Blue Line at Sukhumvit station. Around the station, there are many hotels and facilities for foreign tourists and business people. The area to the west is a continuation of the Nana entertainment zone, and to the east is a dense commercial area with numerous skyscrapers.

History

Asok station opened on 5 December 1999 as part of the Sukhumvit Line, which ran 17 kilometers from Mo Chit Station to On Nut Station at the time.

Originally, this place was the location of Si Krung, a film studio and cinema that produced the first sound film in Thailand. It ceased operations during World War II. The film studio was established in 1927, five years before the Siamese revolution.
