Right, my wife and I (well her) have a house in Bangkok.
At the moment we live full-time in the UK.
However, it looks like we might be moving back to Thailand soon and there is a "possibility" that she might be getting a position in IconSiam when it opens in October (?)
This would probably too far for a daily commute from our house near Suvarnabhumi.
I don't know the Riverside area too well apart from a short stay at Lebua about 12 years ago
The River seems to be a 5 minute walk away from her workplace.
However, the development seems to get very mixed reviews.
I know a lot of units seem to unoccupied and there are hundreds for sale on :

You can buy one like this:

Having never lived in a condo what should I /we be looking out for?
Obviously, the "view" which is why most would buy at The River - but you don't live outside
What are the drawbacks of the "basement" type units? They are about 1/3 the price of a high floor of same size.
I quite like the look of the one I posted above - seems like a Townhouse.
Anyway, please don't "flame" me - as I said I don't know the area and this is just from Internet research.
If not The River - what other "decent" condos are in that location?
We are not adverse to perhaps buying in the Ratchadamri/Sukhumvit area but would probably be out of our budget. (10-20m baht - got to be above 70m2)
And nothing further than a 20 minute commute.
Many thanks
