Greenside Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 (edited) Someone brought it up in the other thread running about the pace of development but I've been meaning to start a topic to round up those bizarre development names. To Richy Rich Land add: The Benefits The Twogether The Esteem and my current hard-to-beat favourite, Pillow 36 Edited February 16, 2013 by Greenside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainman34014 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 To us these names are bizarre but Thai's don't interpret English the way we do so to them these are trendy names. Seems to me if you have the money to be a developer you can call your development what you like. If other folks don't like the name then they don't have to live there but also seems to me that whatever the name they always sell them all in the end ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARISTIDE Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 (edited) I always think the name "MyHip" condo is strange as it remind of hip replacement or some negative old farts but then again aiming how local customers interpreted it that matter the most.

MESmith Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Potential future projects once Richy Rich is sold out include Stinky Rich & Filthy Rich. And a new condo project could be "The Squat" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinnieTheKhwai Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I also found "Malada" a bit iffy. Sounds like the French word for sick. (Chollypratty road, near the Samoeng intersection) Speaking of French, there's also places called "Sida Apartment". (Sida being the french rendering of AIDS) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xonax Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 In BKK we have among others "Trendy Residence", "Happy Condo" and "The Complete". Building of "The Complete" was delayed and was therefore called "The IN-complete" for some months-. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fookhaht Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) Haha....this is one of my pet peves here. Naming a building "The Stylish" does not give it style. Just like those naming their bars...hi-so bar. Edited February 18, 2013 by Fookhaht 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaleySabai Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 (edited) Then there is 'Serene Lake' , a new project with a billboard-ad showing a glorious picturesque image of a lake with mountain backdrop..... I wonder where they got that picture from because there is NO lake in the moo baan, although they could be "building" one Edited April 18, 2013 by onthedarkside offensive comment removed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phronesis Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I have noticed how common it is for the word "view" to appear in the appartment or condo name...when the only apparent view...from any aspect...is concrete. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenside Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 Then there is "The Wisdom" and a new much touted development on the road to Saraphi called "Diya Valley" which definitely isn't in or near a valley but may indeed be dire...
