They call it "park" not because it's woods and trees but because it's a collection of malls...ie, Robinson, Central, Big C, Home Pro, Home Works, Carrefour to name a few. It's spread over such a large area, they used to have a mono rail but since tore it down. It's just 8 kms north of Don Meuang but outside the range of most Bangkok maps...which is not surprising as it's in Pathum Thani province. I was there last week in transit to the Thai National Track and Field Open at Thammasat University, Rangsit (where there was a lot of hot flesh on display). I have been many times to Future, but never made a new contact there...usually to meet peole who I have known from the web. But it's certainly not a sterile place...just never tried very hard. But there are a lot of places to keep you amused whilst looking. If you can't find anything, then I believe Zeer, Rangsit will be more fruitful and there used to be a boy massage place in a row of shop houses down the first soi on the right(nearest to Don Meuang airport) as you face Zeer. Zeer is a dump as far as shopping is concerned..more about cheap computers than anything else.
To get to Future, take bus 504 from Silom and ask for Future, Rangsit. Also 29 blue aircon from Hua Lampong and yellow 510 and red 29 from Chatuchat...but the last two often turn left infront of and opposite Future Park and you need to walk back and take a multitude of footbridges to Future. Coming back, most buses will not stop in front of Future(although you may think it's the correct stop as some do). Move down towards the Cineplex/Multiplex by crossing over/under a bit of free way and wait infront...all buses will stop there. It will probably be better when the colleges restart later this month...there is a big Rajamangala Tech near there, plus it's the palce where many people transfer from intercity to city buses. There must be something to take your fancy there.
