That area around Lumpini isn't really bustling, it's more of a business district type of area. For real Thai community places with lots of streetfood and markets you want somewhere cheaper that the Thais can afford en masse, like Phra Khanong/Onnut or Udom Suk (both not too far from Rama 9 park but traffic around that park/area is really bad and there's no BTS/MRT so you have to rely on songtaews/buses/taxis). Places like Huai Khwang and Lat Phrao areas are real Thai places but don't fit your needs of a park nearby.
The other 2 parks in central Bangkok are Benjasiri (Phrom Phong) and Benjakiti (Asoke) but neither are on or near 'bustling' roads. I always found that park at Mochit that others have mentioned to be a bit of a rundown area, and kind of far from the middle of Bangkok if we talk about the middle as Siam/Sukhumvit/Silom. But it is bustling I guess.
You could try apartments on or near Silom Road, that road has lots of streetfood and decent nightlife and it's next to Lumpini. Not many condos on that road I don't think, mostly shophouses and offices and a few guesthouses.
I don't know how familiar you are with Bangkok but you might be underestimating how convenient the BTS and MRT lines are. They can get you to a park within 5-10 minutes even if you stay a few stations away, so you can stay in a bustling area and commute to the park cheaply. I stay at Onnut and go to Benjasiri park regularly, takes 10-15 minutes or so on the BTS including waiting time for 30 baht and if outside of peak hours when the traffic is quieter I get the bus for a few baht. If you wanted Lumpini that has both MRT and BTS connections so you could pick pretty much any station within 3-4 stops of the park. It opens up a much bigger area to search in.

An update on this from Norwegian media .
This man was followed by a TV team one year ago , where they made an interview with him in Thailand.
In Norway he was sentenced for raping a 7 and 9 year old girl . And he went to prison for 8 years. He admits in the TV interview he is a pedo .
I am sorry , this man is a monster , this is very bad . Do not send him back to Norway , send him to a Thai cell and let him rot.
Source TV2 :
The link is in a foreign language, presumably Norwegian, and the rest of the post was made by a random poster, not by any kind of official source.
"Also other Norwegians living in Thailand been warning the embassy and the police that the man is still abusing kids , he also admit to a bar owner when he was drunk he had unprotected sex with a little girl!"
Does it specifically say that above in the link text? Or is this just random crap posted by an anonymous person with no evidence.

That could have been 40 years before he contracted HIV for all you know. A condom would work fine with or without medication.
If it can be proven that he had unprotected sex whilst he had HIV, then it is relevant. If that is not the case then it isn't relevant. Since there is no evidence or suggestion that he committed any offence against a child (or anyone) in Thailand, then it is not relevant.
He was targeted by police because of his past history, the Thai authorites have only just been made aware of his history.

I not defending him but if he not have do any crime in Thailand IMO can only send him back to his country and ban him from Thailand
Possessing child porn in Thailand is a criminal offence.

I'm defending people with HIV from being called 'worthless pieces of shit' and 'maggots', I'm not necessarily defending the guy in the OP but in any case, his medical condition (HIV) is irrelevant to the story, unless there is some evidence to suggest recent sexual contact with children, of which there is none. His other medical condition (being attracted to children) doesn't make him a worthless piece of shit or a maggot either. You can argue acting on his impulses by donwloading indecent images of children does, but that's not the same thing.

15,000 will easily get you an apartment near Lumpini. Might even get an older condo. Try less high-end places.
I'm confused you seem to be sacrificing living in Bangkok just to stay near a park. Is a park really that important to you? You realise most of the provincial cities have nothing to do at all?
Most cities in Isaan and the rest of Thailand have a central park with a lake and running track.

With other word A piece of wordless shit.
Does wordless mean worthless? I can't understand why you think somebody with HIV is a worthless piece of shit? Do you know what HIV is? If you do, what do you think of people with hepatitis? Or what about diabetes? A common cold?

Can you explain how having HIV makes somebody a maggot? Seems like a really dumb thing to say on your part.

Can they take away his visa for a crime committed in another country. Doesn't he have to go to trial?
I thought they could revoke your visa at any time for any reason. Same as they can deny you entry even with a valid visa.

Revealing his HIV status is pertinent to the story.
It really isn't. May as well say he has an ingrown toenail on his left foot.

I think sometimes it's better to take a few minutes out of your day to catch someone in a lie than it is to wait months or years for the truth.
You've come to a point now where you can't continue to follow her and second guess her movements every day because it's weird and a waste of your time.
It doesn't sound as though talking/confronting her is going to work, so if you still don't trust her then there's no point persevering. Find a new one.

lots of things justify it. example she just raped a kid, stole your life savings, was given a choice between a packet of smarties and world peace and chose the smarties, etc.

I obviously gave them my number because I'm a witness, I saw the whole thing. Damn you are daft.
They don't want or need or care about 'witnesses'. Hence why you were summarily dismissed. Witnesses are only necessary when a case goes to court, which this never in a million years will.
42 minutes ago, tumama said:There is no justification to beat and scare a woman to point where she fears for her life.
She didn't fear for her life she was sobbing because her boyfriend was mad at her. This is normal in Thai society. Domestic abuse is tolerated. You're using melodramatic words like kidnapping and you've spent too much time in the west where helping damsels in distress is considered noble.
The appropriate thing to have done in the situation was to calmly walk over, be friendly with the guy and ask (in Thai) if he can please calm down and give his girlfriend a break. Then walk away and get on with your life.

If you think your friend thinks it's legitimate, you'll believe anything I'm afraid.
She's just as clueless as I am.

So, going forward, a threat to the visa agent asking for a return of the money now or police will be involved? If she is doing something illegal she might be more inclined to give the money back than risk police involvement.

I have no idea. How much does a work permit usually cost? That seemed high to me.
-
So reading between the lines, it might be reasonable to assume that my friend has paid for a 2 year visa which is more complex to obtain than a tourist visa, and that the visa agent might have to pay somebody off or fix some paperwork to get my friend a work permit. And this has resulted in a hugely increased cost because it isn't completely kosher.
Am I in the right ballpark?

What has this got to do with Australian visa's? Have you been on the Fosters mate?
I mentioned an Australian visa in the OP. But I wasn't suggesting they were the same, just that the visa agent has a known history of getting people visas.

Your friend tried to buy a fraudulently obtained visa.
Why do you think that? Can't visa agents deal with legitimate applications?
-
Thai person paid 50,000 baht to apply for a Swiss visa to a Thai visa agent. 45,000 baht was promised in return if the application was not successful. If it was successful another 270,000 baht was payable to be issued the 2-year visa.
Thai visa agent has since cancelled the application and not refunded the money, promising it will be returned 'before May'. It's not clear if visa agent means 45,000 or 50,000. They have admitted the application was not completed and that they just cancelled it.
Visa agent does have history of actually procuring visas - my friend's Thai friend has successfully used them for an australian student visa. When pressed, visa agent say they are not working about visas anymore. So it seems this is not some kind of well-planned scam but maybe some kind of opportunist thing, or maybe the visa agent just needed some money to tide them over for a while.
Personally I doubt whether any money will be refunded so would be interested in best course of action going forward. Police? And also anybody have any knowledge about visa costs and how Thais usually go about this/how much they pay? Because I'm clueless.
I don't have any funds invested in this, I just want to try and help my friend get their money back.

That Pattaya park is nice actually, it surprised me. But then the only drawback is you have to live in Pattaya.
