Where to live in Bangkok?

Hello everyone. I will be transferring to Bangkok for work in September. I have spent quite a bit of time in Thailand over the past decade, but never more than a month, never lived there.

We are looking to rent an apartment in a comfortable, non party-centric area. I'd like to be somewhere where we have good access to public transportation, bur far enough away from a highway that we have a bit of green space around, a bit less noisy.

Areas I seem attracted to are Ari and Ekkamai. I have also heard some good things about On-Nut, but it seems it might be a bit far out?

I have also thought living near Lumphini Park, or Benchatti Park could be interesting for access to that green space, but realize that's right in the thick of things.

Very open to your thoughts and opinions about these areas. We are not looking for a "totally Thai" area, or an expat haven. We just want a great place to live where we can connect with others. My wife is Chinese, so an area that's a good mix of nationalities would be great. We are looking to have our first kid next year and as such aim for a 2-3 bedroom condo, with a pool, maybe a small gym.

Thanks for any and all insights.

Krua Dok Mai Kao is solid but I've always found their som tam a bit tame on the pla ra. If you want the real funky version, try the shophouse spots along Soi Udomsuk 26, near the night market end. They pound it fresh with fermented fish that'll clear your sinuses, and it's like 60 baht. Different style from the On Nut places, more Lao-leaning.

for som tam specifically i'd say the Isaan spots in Chatuchak are underrated, weekdays only though since the weekend crowd ruins the vibe. there's a stall near gate 2 that does tam pa with fermented bamboo shoots, super sour and funky, not something you see much in On Nut. if you're already heading north for Or Tor Kor anyway its worth the detour.

honestly the som tam at Krua Dok Mai Kao is good but what got me hooked is their nam prik pla raa dip with the raw veggies, that funk hits way harder than the papaya does. think most people sleep on it cuz they just order the som tam and gai yang. also pro tip, go before noon on weekdays, after that teh pla ra gets milder cuz they batch it for the lunch rush
