We have looked at some of the best new Ratchada condos and great value apartments in the Ratchadaphisek area of Bangkok. In this article we will take a further in depth look at this district of Bangkok and the condos and apartments on offer.

We will also venture into the Lat Phrao area of Bangkok. A busy main road and heavily populated district, Lat Prao seems to almost have as many spellings and pronunciations as people. Depending on whether you are on the MRT, Bangkok underground train service or looking at road signs in Bangkok or a map of Bangkok’s city center, you may see this district spelt in the following ways: Lat Prao, Lat Phrao, Lad Prao, Lad Phrao or even Ladprao/ Ladphrao! Yes a quite amazing amount of spellings for what amount to the same thing.

Anyway starting with condos in Ratchada, one hidden gem is found near Huay Kwang MRT station (another district of Bangkok with a sizeable number of spelling variations). Chateau in Town is a neat low-rise Bangkok condominium building, with the usual facilities expected to be found in Bangkok. Namely a swimming pool, gymnasium, security and car parking, I call the property neat because this condominium in Ratchada’s central areas has twin buildings, but both self contained. http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/chateau-in-town-1037

With Bangkok Studio condos to rent starting at THB 12 000/month and One Bedroom condos at THB 17 000/ month this is a great value condo in Ratchada, only 5 minutes walk from Huay Kwang MRT station.

A bit further down the MRT track there are equally good Bangkok condos for rent. Lat Phrao MRT station is found on the MRT line has opened up the Ladprao area to international residents. Previoulsy before the Ladphrao MRT station opened very few expats wanted to live in the Lat Prao area of Bangkok.

The recently built condos in Lat Phrao a northerly area of Bangkok, are of course modern stylish, beautiful and given their location better value than those in more central Bangkok districts such as Sukhumvit, Sathorn and Silom. Lad Phrao is home to a number of stylish Studio, One Bedroom and Two Bedroom condos for rent in contemporary chic Bangkok condominium buildings.

	A Studio condo in Ladphrao will start at just THB 10 000/month to rent. My Condo in LadPrao offers Studios in a desirable clean and brand new condominium building. With a gymnasium, security and easy access to the Lat Prao MRT station this is good value in the heart of Bangkok. http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/my-condo–lat-prao-949
	Another building in Lad Phrao that offers a similar quality and style is The Pulse, but the difference is that The Pulse Lat Phrao offers a swimming pool as well. This Bangkok is situated 500m from the Lat Prao MRT station and again is a well deigned low-rise condominium with rental units starting at THB 10 000/month. http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/the-pulse-330
	Very close to The Pulse Lat Phrao is The Next Ladprao. This also offers well priced unit in another recently built contemporary styled low-rise condominium. Like The Pulse, The Next offers well sized One Bedroom units approaching 50sqm for just THB 15 000/month. http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/the-next-lat-prao-1234
	However you may want to rent a condo in Bangkok closer to the MRT. Of course you may have to pay bit extra for this. In Lat Phrao there are two such buildings offering the convenience of a 2-3 minute walk to Ladprao MRT station, the first that we will look at is The Ideo Lad Phrao a brand new state-of-the-art designed Bangkok condominium, with some highly attractive features such as the swimming pool. One bedroom condos for rent in Ideo Lad Prao are starting at THB 16 000/month. But with just a 150m walk to the MRT station in Lat Prao this offers real convenience. http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/ideo-ladprao-17-1156
	Finally again staying within 2-3 minutes walk of the Lat Phrao MRT station, The Room Lat Prao offers One Bedroom and Two Bedroom condo for rent in a beautifully contained Bangkok condominium development. Centered around a beautiful large swimming pool landscaped gardens and a club house, this is quality living in Lad Phrao. http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/the-room-lat-phrao-1143

I am sure it has not escaped your notice that all along the BTS and MRT in Bangkok City Centre; new modern condos have been springing up. Many of these are branded The Life condominiums, with many of them within 2-3 minutes walking distance of the BTS or MRTA station.

These Bangkok condominiums are modern, stylish and desirable, and have been purposefully designed and built to suit the modern lifestyles of people in Bangkok. The Sky-Train generation has recently begun to embrace these types of Bangkok condominiums as a great way to live a convenient lifestyle.

Lets take a quick look at some of these new exciting Bangkok condos, which have been deliberately branded ‘Life’ to emphasize the new sky-train lifestyle that has developed.

Strategically placed all over the Bangkok city centre, and along the BTS line and th MRT line, these new condos can offer something to most expats and middle-class Thai people wanting live in various areas of the city centre.

Starting with the ones which will almost certainly be the most popular Life condominiums amongst expats are the Life@Sukhumvit and Life@67 (Sukhumvit 67). Life@Suhumvit is actually situated on Sukhumvit soi 65 and within a short walk of Ekkamai BTS station. With Studio, 1 Bedroom and 2 Bedroom units available, the development can cover the need of most people.

Life@Sukhumvit is a large building with approx 250 units, and some great facilities including a large pool, fitness room, gymnasium, sauna and car parking. With Studio condo units starting at THB 15 000 per month, 1 Bedroom condo units at THB 18 000 and Two bedroom condo units starting at THB 25 000. Of course prices alter due to the views presented by the condos and the furnishings.

http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/life@sukhumvit-65-ekamai-1190 – One Bedroom Condo at Life@Sukhumvit

Life@67, located on Sukhumvit 67 is also within walking distance of either the Ekkamai BTS station or the Phrakanong BTS station. A low-rise, this Bangkok condominium only contains 79 units and so is a lot more personal and intimate than the Life@Sukhumvit building. And the building still contains a swimming pool, fitness room, gymnasium, sauna and car parking.

A stylish Bangkok condo, gain the Life@67, like the Life@Sukhumvit contains 1 bedroom and 2 Bedroom condo units, but does not contain Studio condo units.
With 1 bedroom units priced from THB 22 000/month and 2 bedroom units from THB 30 000/month the prices reflect the personalization and quality of the building.

Looking away from the Sukhumvit area to a more northerly area of Bangkok but still firmly on the MRT line. Life@Ratchada-HuayKwang is located near to the Huay Kwang station. With all the same facilitoies as the Life@Sukhumvit and Life@67, this is again a reasonably priced Bangkok condominium, with 1 bedroom units starting at THB 15 000/ month, and 2 bedroom condo units starting at THB 20 000/month.

Of course as mentioned these Life branded Bangkok condos have only just begun to open their doors and Life@Sutthisan, Life@Thapra and Life@Phahonyothin will all be covered in further articles on this Bangkok Property Blog.

However we hope we have given you an insight in the new modern Bangkok condo developments opening up near the BTS in Bangkok and the MRT lines, and watch this Blog more more information on these and other new Bangkok condos in the future.
