In the last 10 months since the start of 2010, there have been 35 new major condominium projects opened in the Bangkok city center with a total of 8 898 units, so that is a massive amount of brand new Bangkok condos opened in 2010. Of course in addition to these major Bangkok condominium projects there have of course been a number of lesser projects. These are mainly done by smaller independent Bangkok property developers and although some these Bangkok condominium buildings end up being of good quality, most do not, so for the purpose of this blog we have overlooked these smaller Bangkok condominium buildings.

On the whole the best Bangkok condominiums in terms of quality, location, amenities, facilities, design, fittings and maintenance are developed by many of the Bangkok property developers listed on the SET (Stock Exchange of Thailand). In this article we will concentrate on the best new condominiums developed in the Sathorn area and Bangkok.

Starting over the river, there has been a wave of brand new condos for rent in Krungthonburi and Wong Wian Yai areas of Bangkok next to the 2 new BTS stations opened in May 2009. Examples of these have been The Hive Taksin, Q House Krungthonburi and Villa Sathorn. As well as smaller condos like The Citrine Wong Wian Yai, My Condo Wong Wian Yai and The Ideo Krungthonburi.

However hear we will concentrate on Villa Sathorn, which is a high-rise Bangkok condominium with over 40 storey’s, housing over 600 units with breathtaking views of the Bangkok city center, the Chaophraya river and the surrounding areas. In fact with very few high-rise buildings located close to the Villa Sathorn condo, it seems that almost all the units have access to spectacular far reaching views.

Villa Sathorn has a swimming pool, gymnasium and large raised garden area and jogging track and of course houses the usual secure car parking facilities associated with modern Bangkok condominiums. With Studios, 1 bedrooms and 2 bedrooms, Villa Sathorn covers a large part of the Bangkok property market. Perhaps though the best part of Villa Sathorn in the location, only 50m from the Krungthonburi BTS station. http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/villa-sathorn-krungthonburi-1557

Moving over the Chaoprhraya river into the Sathorn area of town, we find 2 new equally matched Bangkok condominiums, offering a great choice of mid-range mid-market condos to rent in Sathorn. If you are looking to rent a modern attractive condo in Sathorn, then The Ivy Sathorn and Life@Sathorn should be on your list of choices.

Both modern and well designed high-rise Bangkok condominium buildings they are located only 250m from Sathorn’s most popular BTS station. The Chong Nonsi BTS station which links with the Bangkok BRT line is a convenient stop for many of Bangkok’s large office buildings housing RBS, Standard Chartered, PWC, Bank of China and many other multi-national firms.

The Ivy Sathorn and the Life@Sathorn, both offer similar properties to rent in Sathorn, with small 1 bedroom units starting off at 35sqm, larger 1 bedroom units at 41sqm and 2 bedroom condos at 65sqm. http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/life@sathorn-chong-nonsi-1525

The Ivy Sathorn and Life@Sathorn both have a large swimming pool, raised sun deck, fitness room, car parking and full 24hr security. Along with spacious lobbies, stylish fixtures, gardens and communal areas for all to enjoy. http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/ivy-sathorn-chong-nonsi-1507

These 3 brand new Bangkok condominium buildings, Villa Sathorn, The Ivy Sathorn and Life@Sathorn all offer a good range of condos starting as low as THB 15 000 a month to rent in Sathorn.
