The Bangkok Real Estate Market has seen an explosion of beautiful new condos and apartments in recent years, with many prominent buildings popping up next to the BTS (Sky Train) and MRT stations.
These condos and apartments are often well known in Bangkok amongst expats and are therefore understandably popular within the market. There is no doubt that these properties offer great living conditions, convenience and often beautiful modern facilities and that are understandably in great demand.
But what if you want to live in a Bangkok condo or apartment with a bit more character, perhaps hidden away from the usual hustle and bustle of the world, away from other Bangkok expats, but still close enough to enjoy the convenience of an international lifestyle?
Well this Bangkok property blog article is here to take you on a quick tour of some of Bangkok’s forgotten property gems. Whether they are condos, apartments, expensive or well priced, we have a list here in no particular order.

LPN Place Saphan Kwai, or Lumpini Place Saphan Kwai built by Lumpini developments is within a 5-10 minute walk of Saphan Kwai BTS station. Conveniently located near to the Big C, this property is just visible from the BTS train as it travels along the Sukhumvit line to Mo Chit. A large development housing Bangkok Studio condos, one bedroom condos and two bedroom condos, around a central swimming pool area. http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/lumpini-condo-saphan-kwai-831 |
Conveniently located withy easy access to the north of Bangkok, a trip to Chatuchak Market is only 10 minutes away. Also expressways to Chaeng Wattana & Din Daeng are close by.
|
Also in the north of Bangkok is a well built condominium with a natural feel that instills the character of a tropical garden from another era. This Bangkok condo is located near Sanam Pao BTS and is the type of condominium development to make a long-term home in. Vorasupar Condo will not suit everyone, but if you are looking for a condominium in Bangkok that does not feel like part of a production line then this is the condo for you. |
There has been a movement in the Bangkok Real Estate Market to the Sathorn area of Bangkok. Formerly just the stronghold of office blocks and towers, this part of Bangkok’s CBD has now become the home to several new and prominent large Bangkok condominiums such as The Empire Place condo, however there are also some hidden property gems in this area that don’t get as much publicity as others.
 |
Supalai Suan Plu is such a Bangkok condominium development, right in the heart of the CBD this condo in Suanplu is excellent value for money, where a Studio condo can be picked up for as little as THB 16 000/ month. At 40sqm and with access to Sathorn Road and easy access to Rama III expressway, this Bangkok condo is well priced and of course residents also enjoy the use of a swimming pool, gymnasium, car parking and security. |
 |
Staying in the south of the city, there are also some great Bangkok apartments located in Silom, close to the Sala Daeng BTS station. SC Garden or Silom Convent Garden is a Silom apartment in the very heart of Silom’s bustling center. With Studios starting at just THB 18 000/ month this is great value for the location, cleanliness and quality of building. |
|
For a bit of luxury in the same area, another Silom apartment is Baan Pipat again within a 5-10 minute walk of Sala Daeng BTS station and Silom MRT station. A 2 bedroom apartment in this luxurious complex will cost THB 60 000/month for 120sqm. It may not be the cheapest deal in Bangkok, but with beautiful decor fittings it does make the residents feel special. |
Moving towards the central area of Bangkok now, the very natural heart of Bangkok is Lumpini Park, and around this area are one or two beautiful, but hidden Bangkok property treasures. Baan Sarasin is one of them, located within 2-3 minutes walk of Lumpini Park, this tranquil and yet luxurious Bangkok condominium is a real find for those who like low-rise developments in peaceful areas.
|
Away from the hustle and bustle of the Bangkok traffic and yet within 10 minutes walking distance of Rachadamri BTS station and within a 15 minute journey of either Siam Square or Silom, Baan Sarasin is a great building to relax in. |
With all the luxuries of any Grade A Bangkok condominium and the convenience of a condo in the heart of Bangkok. Who could ask for more?
