Where is the greenest/prettiest place to live that is still in Bangkok city proper? Looking for less hustle-bustle with quiet spaces to relax but still convenient.

TLDR : Answer Summary

Several suggestions are made for expats seeking quieter, greener living spaces in Bangkok. Bang Krachao is highlighted as a lush, tranquil area, while parks like Lumpini and Benjakitti provide green escapes within the city. Other alternatives include Nonthaburi and various districts like Chatuchak and Lad Phrao. Some commenters also mention relocating to nearby Pattaya, where Wongamat Beach offers a peaceful beachfront living option.

If you mean Greater Bangkok area … bang Yai is nice enough … excellent road links and still lots of small housing surrounded by orchards….

I was looking for the same criteria before but didnt find it directly in Bangkok. I ended up in Wongamat Beach, Pattaya.

This is a nice and quiet residential area in Pattaya without bars etc and you can live beachfront. Bangkok is only 1.5 hr away.

Depends where you are. The biggest park is benjakitti right in the middle by asok but a different world once you’re in there. Huge space so many chill places including the amphitheatre

Nonthaburi seems to be veeery quiet and peaceful, while still being technically a part of Bangkok.
