Overview
Life Asoke Hype is the trendier, more "Instagrammable" sequel to the neighboring Life Asoke. Completed in 2021 by AP, it targets the "Gen Y/Z" demographic with a design concept called "The Supremacy of Privacy," featuring dark, moody interiors and red accents (The Scarlet Foyer).
With 1,253 units, it is a high-density mega-tower. It is famous for its "Hover Bay" and Sky Pool facilities that offer some of the best sunset views over the Makkasan green area.
Developer
AP (Thailand) perfected the "Main Class Luxury" formula here. They invested heavily in the common areas—the lobby and rooftop look like a W Hotel—to distract from the high unit density.

Situated just west of the Rama 9 intersection.
