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.

The Emporio Place Phrom Phong, for these and other reasons shows itself to be one of the best condos in Bangkok.

2010 saw over 4 000 Bangkok condominium units transferred on Sukhumvit road alone. This is a massive number of condos to rent on Sukhumvit, making Sukhumvit a very attractive area to rent a condo in Bangkok. Of course like with anything, some Sukhumvit condominium buildings stand out as better then others, whether this is due to value for money, quality, style, facilities or location. Here we will review the best condos completed on Sukhumvit for 2010, based on the ones that impressed our clients the most and the reasons why.

Life@Sukhumvit 65 or also known as just Life@65 is one of the best new condos to rent in Bangkok, never mind being one of the best new condos to rent on Sukhumvit. Located in Ekamai near the Ekamai BTS station Life@Sukhumvit 65 is a high-rise condominium building nearly 30 storey’s tall. With facilities such as a large swimming pool, roof top fitness area and saunas, as well as the usual 24hr security and car parking associated with quality Bangkok condos. However what makes Life@Sukhumvit 65 so popular with expats is the combination of all the above coupled with an excellent location. Just 5 mins walk from the nearest BTS station, and just 10 minutes walk from a cinema, supermarket and shopping mall.

Life@Sukhumvit 65 offers superb views of Bangkok and the surrounding Ekamai areas, and is only 15mins travel to Siam Square via the BTS. With small 1 bedroom condo units starting at just 15 000 Baht renting this Ekamai condominium is great value. http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/life@sukhumvit-65-ekamai-1445

Also staying in the same location, renting a condo in Ekamai has never been so attractive. With so many Bangkok condos to choose from depending upon your requirements and budget, the choice is varied. One of the best is Life@Sukhumvit 65’s sister building Life@67, located in Sukhumvit soi 67 is another excellent condo to rent in Ekamai.

Some of your clients prefer to rent a Bangkok condo in a low-rise building, whether this is due to a fear of heights or just the more intimate feeling a low-rise condo can offer. For this reason Life@67 can offer a great quality Ekamai condo for rent in a well constructed and styled low-rise building.

Ekamai is an excellent place to rent a condo, due to its combination of amenities, location to the city center and its value for money, with Bangkok condos for rent in Ekamai still lower than those in other areas of Sukhumvit such as Thonglor or Phrom Phong. Life@67 condominium once again offer all the facilities one can expect from a quality Bangkok condominium, such as swimming pool, fitness area, saunas, car parking and security. Again there are excellent quality 1 and 2 bedroom condos available starting at approx THB 20 000/ month. http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/life@67-sukhumvit-67-1222

Moving along the BTS line we will look at two condos to rent in Thonglor. Both opened at the turn of the year in 2010, these condos for differing reasons have proved to be both popular and highly rated by our clients in 2010. Siri@Sukhumvit is a high-end Bangkok condominium located just 2-3 minutes walk from the BTS Thong Lo station. With a beautiful large lobby, excellent views and well appointed condo units, this striking building has proved to be popular with clients looking for both the convenience of the BTS and luxury of a Grade A condominium.

As always Siri@Sukhumvit condominium offers first class facilities with a dramatic and attractive swimming pool, fitness area, saunas, steam room and car parking. All of which are completed with high-level finishes. And within such a short walk of Thonglor BTS station the convenience is hard to beat. http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/siri@sukhumvit-thonglor-1458

Further inside Thonglor road it is The Clover Thonglor, an excellently located mid-range condominium in the heart of Thong Lo. The Clover is a cluster of low-rise condos grouped around 2 large centrally located swimming pools.

The winning appeal of The Clover Thong Lo, is not just the styling and facilities, but also the fact that if you want to rent a condo in Thonglor, then The Clover Thonglor represents exceptional value for money. With small 1 bedroom units starting at just THB 17 000/month and larger 1 bedroom units at approximately THB 25 000/month it is hard to beat in this up market and trendy district of Bangkok. http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/the-clover-thong-lo-1253

And then looking around in the immediate location there are 2 supermarkets within 5 minutes waking distance, dozens of cafes and dozens of restaurants not to mention convenience stores. This is the heart of the Japanese district of Bangkok and perhaps one of the most up-market and trendy areas to live in.

The next location we will look at it is for those who are looking to rent a Bangkok condo in the Phrom Phong district of Sukhumvit. The Emporio Place Phrom Phong is located within 400m of the Phrom Phong BTS station and The Emporium shopping plaza. This high-end Grade A condominium offers the chance to rent in one of the most convenient and luxurious areas of Bangkok.

And with 3 buildings all located around a central area, it offers those wishing to rent a condo in Emporio Place a wide range of options. With large studios, 1 bedrooms, 1 bedroom duplex units, 2 bedrooms, 2 bedroom duplexes and 3 bedrooms, there really is a wide-range of choice for those looking to live in the Emporio Place.

As with the previous Sukhumvit condos for rent we have reviewed, Emporio Place offers a good selection of facilities such as a swimming pool, fitness room, sauna, steam room, BBQ area, car parking and security. In addition to this The Emporio Place also houses coffee shops, restaurants and other light high-end retail. http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/the-emporio-place-phrom-phong-1671

Travelling along the BTS one more station we come to Asok BTS station, which interchanges with Sukhmvit MRT station. For those looking to rent a condo in Asoke, then the latest and best condo to be built in the Asoke area is The Wind 23 Asok.

The Wind 23 in Asoke is a stylish, and chic luxury condominium with excellent finishes throughout the building. The Wind 23 offer the renter access to both the MRT and BTS lines within just 5 mins walk of the condo. With facilities that include an infinity swimming pool, basketball court, fitness room, saunas, mutli-layered terracing, and a tuk-tuk service to the BTS/MRT this offers a great way to rent a condo in Asoke. The Wind offers both 1 bedroom and 2 bedroom condos with large windows and excellently appointed fittings. http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/the-wind-23-asok-1501

So these are our choice of the best new condos to rent on Sukhumvit and ones that have proved extremely popular with our clients over the last 12 months. With the quality and locations of these properties so high, we look forward to see if it is possible for condominium developers to step up the new condos not yet complete to an even higher level…it will be a tough task!
