Hi I was just wondering if anyone knows what that huge condo development next to BTS Ratchatewi is (the two massive towers that you can see from the BTS platform).

Any idea how much a 1 bedroom/ 2 bedroom condo rents/sells for? Has it got a website? Is it nice inside? etc....

Cheers.

The two cream/light brown/mauve coloured towers project is called Baan Klang Krung Siam Patumwan built by developer Asian Property Development Co Ltd. Their website is <http://www.ap-thai.com>.

You can get a lot of owners/buyers/sellers opinion and comments on the <http://www.prakard.com> site in the Phayathai/Patumwan/Rajaprarob section. Helps if you can read Thai, but there's a lot of English threads/posts there as well. Depending on floor, view, perspective, price will run baht 80,000 per sq metre and up. Common facilities like lobby, swimming pool, security, etc are very nice, if not spectacular. Inside, some problems but manageable and fixable.

There are a lot of other new developments in that general area -- The Address@Siam, Villa Ratchethewi, new hotel. With its proximity to MBK, Siam Paragon, Chulalongkorn and other universities, that area should rival other desirable living areas for both farang and Thai locals, such as Thonglor and upper stretches of Sukhumvit.

Like everything else, depends on what you are looking for...

In that area coming up for completion is Condo One Siam prices around 70k/m2 upwards

A new development is Wish@ Siam, I think prices were a bit less.

A couple of friends bought at Ban Klang Krung and have transferred already, they bought offplan.

We bought a unit at Condo One Siam. Neither projects seem to have any major problems.

Thanks for the link tangoll - very interesting. One thread covers the area myself and a number of others are interested in. I have posted this information to a thread I contribute to

this I feel gives a Thai perspective to our thoughts - PKRV.
