Overview
The Lakes is the "King of Space" in Asoke. Completed in 2004 by Raimon Land, it defies modern trends. There are no shoebox units here. A "small" unit is 110 sqm.
With only 165 units, it is an exclusive community of expats who prioritize square footage and park access. It sits directly opposite Benjakitti Forest Park, offering residents arguably the best jogging route in the city right at their doorstep.
Developer
Raimon Land built this during their golden era of creating spacious, Western-style apartments. The floor-to-ceiling windows and open-plan kitchens were revolutionary for 2004 and remain highly desirable today.

Facilities
The Rooftop:
- Pool: Located on the 36th floor, the pool offers sweeping views of the park and the lake.

Pros
- Size — You get double the space of a modern condo for the same price.
- Park Access — Crossing the street puts you in the forest park.
- Layouts — Western-style open kitchens and large balconies.
- Location — Dead center of Asoke but facing the green zone.
Cons
- Age — The lobby and hallways feel a bit dated (early 2000s style).
- Traffic — Ratchadaphisek road in front is busy.
- No Pets — Strictly enforced now, despite rumors.
The Bottom Line
The Lakes is the "Space Unicorn." If you are an expat who feels claustrophobic in modern 35sqm apartments, this is your savior. It offers the square footage of a house with the convenience of the BTS.
