The Diplomat Sathorn

The Diplomat Sathorn is a condominium in the Sathorn district of Bangkok, Thailand. The area is also known by the neighbourhood name Silom - Sathorn. Apartments in the building are offered on the resale market, so buyers are looking at existing units rather than new launches. For anyone comparing Bangkok districts, Sathorn is a clear and recognisable address to use as a starting point.

The district is the main location reference for this building. We do not list specific stations, roads or distances here, because we only state what we can confirm. What matters for your search is simple: the building stands in Sathorn, and that is the area to use when you compare apartments in Bangkok by district, floor level, size, price and tenure type.

The Diplomat Sathorn was developed by Raimon Land and completed in 2016. It is a 35-storey condominium, and the project consists of one building. That means you are buying into a single tower, not a multi-building complex. Completion in 2016 makes it a fairly recent building by resale-market standards in Bangkok, which is useful to know when you compare it with older stock.

For building services, the clear figure is the common area fee of THB 80.00, charged on top of your purchase cost, so factor it into your running costs. The apartment currently for sale has one balcony. There is no fixed parking space with this unit, but one non-fixed parking space is available. No maid's room is included.

There is one apartment for sale now: 1 bedroom, 52 sq m, on the 26th floor, with a city view. It is partly furnished and well-maintained. The living room is good-sized, and the master bedroom and master bathroom are of normal size. It has one balcony of normal size. Appliances include a TV, fridge, washing machine and microwave; there is no dryer. The price is THB 11,500,000. The unit is currently let to a tenant, and new photos and video will be added once the tenant has moved out.

The apartment is freehold, and a foreign freehold quota is available, which is important for non-Thai buyers. The common area fee is THB 80.00. In practical terms, a 52 sq m one-bedroom unit on the 26th floor suits one or two occupants, and the city view adds to daily comfort. Buyers should plan around the tenant situation when thinking about timing for moving in.
