Last Thursday a friend and I went to the MahaNakhon site to check on the progress of the project. We actually wanted to get information on purchasing one or two condominium units as this project is nearing completion and is being featured as luxury first class residences in the tallest building in Bangkok. Much to our surprise and amusement there was no sales office or any information on where it was or a telephone number we could call to begin our quest to buy one or two of these high-end condominiums.

I did find the RCR website online and called the contact number to inquire where we could get sales information on the project. A very polite woman told us there really was not anything set up and advised perhaps by the end of the year there may be a sales office and renderings for us to view. I told her I thought she was joking or misunderstood. I reiterated that we wanted to contact someone in sales to purchase condominiums in the project. She said we could make an appointment with an agent and was asked the location of the office? She was quite vague so we had a good laugh and ended the call which ended our association with the whole RCR project.

I have read that a number of units had been sold and the project was not sold out. It is odd and even suspicious that we could not obtain sales information from RCR. Could this be only for Chinese investors? Buyer beware I guess.

I would have had to get a loan but my friend could have bought one or two penthouses that day.

A quick visit to their website's contact page, submitted the contact form and I got a prompt reply in literally minutes from one, Ms Melissa Chollasap, Senior Vice President, Sales & Marketing Department.

 

Seems legit and she is lovely to speak to.

I talked to them but got a completely different response. I've seen the website before making the visit to inspect the property. Obviously the person I talked with should have passed me to someone else. Thanks for the information.
