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.[1]
