If you are renting a condo or apartment in Bangkok or have lived in the city for any length of time you can’t help, but notice the increasing amount of shopping malls, department stores and now open-air lifestyle malls that have sprung up all around the city center of Bangkok.

Of course Siam Square being the center of Bangkok has always been magnet for shoppers looking for bargains. From the MBK to Siam Paragon to Siam square and of course Siam Center there are plenty of shops and outlets. However you don’t have to live in Siam square to be close to a shopper’s paradise.

There are condos that do take advantage of the proximity to Siam square such as Condo one Siam. Condo One Siam only 5 mins walk from Siam square is a great option if you want to rent a condo in Siam square in the mid-end price bracket. Naturally the condo is only 5 mins from a whole host of shops and retail outlets, but it is also an attractive location in a quiet soi.

Condo One Siam comes with a swimming pool, fitness studio, car parking and security and is an attractively designed Bangkok condominium with a good use of space. Condo One Siam features Studio, one bedroom and two bedroom condos covering most Bangkok real estate market demands. http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/condo-one-siam-siam-square-1488

A little further away from the center of Siam square, but certainly still within walking distance of MBK and other shopping venues is the Wish@Siam condominium. The condos for rent in Wish@Siam are compact, but very modern and well designed. There are Studios, one bedroom and two bedroom units. However for those looking to rent at the Wish@Siam the building offers great convenience.

The Wish@Siam features a courtyard style design with most of the units wrapped around a central pool area, which gives the Wish@Siam a personal feel and makes residents feel like they are at home. Just one stop away from Siam square on the Sukhumvit line heading towards Bearing BTS station is Chit Lom BTS station and another area surrounded by shopping plazas, departments stores and other retail outlets. http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/wish@siam-condominium-ratchathewi-1638

Arriving at Chit Lom BTS station, passengers can go to both Central World and Central Chit Lom as well as Gaysorn Plaza. As Chit Lom is a high-end district the condos and apartments in this location are generally of a more luxurious nature. Q House Lang Suan is one such condominium. Located in Lang Suan, just a few minutes’ walk from Chit lom BTS station, this brand new, but classically designed condominium just feels and oozes luxury all the way.

With excellent fixtures and fittings Q House Langsuan is quality, and anyone looking for a luxurious, exquisitely designed apartment or condo in Bangkok should certainly check out Q-House Langsuan It is certainly not the cheapest condo in Bangkok, but then quality does not come cheap.

Also in Chit Lom is Urbana Lang Suan, another super luxurious condominium with fabulous facilities.

This is real luxury living and if the Urbana Lang Suan condominium itself is not enough, then only a few minutes’ walk away are both the Chit Lom BTS and of course the shopping plaza of both Central Chitlom and Central World.

So it is not necessary to live just in Siam square if you want to rent a condo in Bangkok near a shopping center. Apartments in Bangkok and condos in Bangkok are often found close to the shopping plaza in or outside of the city center. In the next part of this article, we will explore more apartments to rent in Sukhumvit and how to locate the nearest shopping outlets.

As we know Bangkok is fast developing into one of the largest and most important cities in East Asia, but along with size, power and financial growth comes luxury and glamour.

Here we look at some of the most luxurious condos in Bangkok, the brand new Quattro condominium in Thonglor, Siri@Sukhumvit, the Emporio Place in Phrom Phong, the Athenee Residence in Ploen Chit and Q-House in Langsuan. All these condos offer supreme luxury, great locations and high-end finishes throughout.

Firstly we’ll start with the Emporio Place in Sukhumvit soi 24, this Phrom Phong condo ids one of the most intelligently designed condos in Bangkok. Consisting of 3 towers, each tower has unique smart feature of design. The North and East Towers in Emporio Place condo actually consist of four towers each cleverly interlinked by central lift shafts. This allows each tower to be separately constructed so the make-up of the units can differ greatly. Each of the North and East towers of the Emporio Place therefore offer not only Studios, one bedrooms, two bedrooms and three bedrooms, but also duplexes, in fact there are both one bedroom duplex units and two bedroom duplex units, with superb city views. This also allows Emporio Place to offer 3 external walls for each unit in the building, a truly unique feature in any current Bangkok condominium, and one that offers both quiet and ventilation. http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/emporio-place-phrom-phong-1370

With double height ceilings over 5m high, the 2 bedroom duplexes at Emporio Place offer a great feeling of space and luxury. And the Emporio Place also offers excellent 3 bedroom units that feature large seating areas on the balcony. The Emporio Place Phrom Phong, for these and other reasons shows itself to be one of the best condos in Bangkok. And its location is excellent with only 5 mins walk to BTS Phrom Phong, the Emporium shopping plaza and only 5 mins drive from Rama 4 expressway. http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/emporio-place-phrom-phong-2113

Moving toward Thonglor we can look at two luxury condos for rent in Bangkok, the first is theQuattro Condominium in Thonglor soi 4, a brand new condo with very high-end fixtures and fittings including 3 swimming pools this is a condo built for opulence and luxury. http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/quattro-thonglor-2325

Also within only 5 mins walk of the BTS Thonglor and in the heart of Thonglor with all its high-end bars, cafes and restaurants it offers a great lifestyle choice. The Quattro condominium seems destined to be one of the most sort after residences in Bangkok.

Another condo only 5 mins walk from the BTS Thonglor is Siri@Sukhumvit another high-end luxury Bangkok condo for rent. Siri@Sukhumvit offers one of the best pools in Bangkok with huge beautiful facilities area with a large sun-deck and fitness center. http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/siri@sukhumvit-wattana-1924

Siri@Sukhumvit offers also superb city views, stylish condos, and the usual car parking, 24 hour security and luxurious lobby facilities we have come to expect from high-end luxury condos.

Moving away from Thonglor, towards Ploenchit BTS station is the location for the Athenee Residence is a super luxurious Bangkok condominium for rent in Ploenchit. The Athenee offers unrivalled levels of luxury for the discerning Bangkok resident, with a huge swimming pool, large sundeck and garden area and of course a well equipped fitness center. http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/athenee-residence-ploenchit-2338

But it is the sheer opulence of condo units at the Athenee Ploenchit which is the most breathtaking feature. With huge spacious units, unblocked views and floor to ceiling windows it does not get much more luxurious than this.

For those lucky enough to be in the market for a high-end Bangkok condominium to rent the Athenee is so difficult to beat. A timeless masterpiece the Athenee seems to be destined to be one of Bangkok’s best condos for years to come.

Travelling a little further down the BTS line towards Chit Lom BTS station, we come across a new condo in town, set to challenge the Athenee for becoming the most luxurious condo in Bangkok. Q-house Lang Suan is a brand new stylish classically designed condominium. Situated in Langsuan, possibly the most up-market street in Bangkok, Q-house Langsuan has been built to make a statement. Also simply called Q Langsuan this luxurious condo has all the hall-marks of a beautiful Bangkok condominium. In fact the Q in the Q Langsuan condominium could stand for Quality.

Q Langsuan or Q-house Lang Suan features and infinity swimming pool, fitness room and Jacuzzi, but in addition also has a well stocked and palatial styled library with free WiFi and a great place to relax and read a book. http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/q-house-langsuan-2237

In addition if your idea of being relaxed is a bit more energetic, Q Langsuan has a fully fitted kitchen near the pool specifically designed for BBQ parties and convenience. So when it comes to making residents feel at home Q-house Langsuan has thought of some creature comforts, and makes Q House Langsuan an ideal condo to rent for luxurious living.

So in summary the above condos from the Emporio Place in Phrom Phong, to the Quattro in Thonglor to the Siri@Sukhumvit and the Athenee to Q Langsuan all feature high-quality, high-end features that set them apart from most other condos in Bangkok. And if you’re looking for a high-end condominium living in Bangkok then these are worth a look.

Siam Square is the heart of Bangkok city center. A place where the BTS Sky-Train lines cross and the Siam Square BTS station acts as a junction connecting the main areas of Bangkok city center together.

Of course there are many activities on offer in this bustling center, with students going to Chulalongkorn University, teenagers shopping in Siam Square boutiques, the Siam Paragon shopping mall and of course the MBK. Not to mention the aquarium, cinemas, bars and cafes.

However what if you want to live in and around Bangkok’s city center? Are there any good condos in Siam square to live in at a reasonable price? Can living in a condo in Bangkok be affordable even right in the center of the city?

Condo One Siam is literally in the Bangkok city center itself. Just 2-3 minutes walk from the MBK center and the National Stadium BTS station, Condo One Siam is possibly the most central condominium in Bangkok. With Studios, one bedroom and two bedroom condos on offer, Condo One Siam covers a good range of the Bangkok Property Market.

Studio units at Condo One Siam, start at THB 20 000/ month, and One bedroom and two bedroom Bangkok condos for rent are starting at THB 30 000 & THB 40 000/ month respectively. With decent sized condominium units at 50sqm and 75sqm. http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/condo-one-siam-628

Of course with land at a premium in Siam Square, then finding room to build decent sized Bangkok condominium buildings is difficult, but that is exactly what AP have done with The New York. Two large 26 & 27 floor Bangkok condominium Towers holding a total of 560 condos in Siam Square. With a roof top swimming pool, sundeck, gymnasium and squash courts, these really are high quality condominiums in the heart of Bangkok.

Situated a short walk from Ratchethewi BTS station and only a 10 minute stroll from the Siam Paragon building, these condos offer wonderful views from the heart of Bangkok’s city center. And indeed these Siam Square condos are extremely well priced with one bedroom condos to rent starting at just THB 25 000/ month and two bedrooms at THB 35 000/ month. http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/the-new-york-326

Of course Ratchatewi BTS station is located just one stop north of Siam Square and yet if you also don’t mind living just one stop from Siam square, then another excellent location is Chidlom or Chit Lom depending upon your choice of spelling. http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/the-new-york-327

The Address Chidlom is an extremely classy and well built condo in Chit Lom’s fashionable district. Just 5 minutes walk from Central Chit Lom department store. This Bangkok condo built in the Art-Deco style has one, two and three bedroom condos built in a cosy yet stylish condominium building with a lavish lobby and facilities.

	Not surprisingly, one bedroom condos to rent at The Address Chidlom start at THB 45 000/month so are on the expensive side, however the quality is evident. http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/the-address-chit-lom-1099
	And two bedroom condos for rent at The Address Chidlom are starting at THB 50 000/month. http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/the-address-chit-lom-1098
	There are even Studio condos at The Address Chidlom, but even these Bangkok condo units are not cheap at THB 25 000/month to rent. http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/the-address-chit-lom-1100

Of course in the Chit Lom area of Bangkok there is also Lang Suan which many of the condos and apartments in this area of Bangkok are within a 5-10 minute walking distance of Chit Lom BTS station.

The pick of these Lang Suan condominium buildings is the Urbana Lang Suan, with a stylish infinity edged pool on the roof of this 45 storey building, this is truly one of the most stylish and dramatic condos in Bangkok. And it would be right to say it was also one of the best apartments in Bangkok as well as it has serviced apartments housed in the building in the form of the Fraser Suites Bangkok. http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/urbana-lang-suan-149
