The Park Chidlom

The Park Chidlom stands in the Ploenchit-Chidlom district of central Bangkok, on Soi Som Khit in Pathum Wan. The neighbourhood is also known as Phetchaburi. Central Embassy, Central Chidlom and Lumpini Park are all within walking distance, so you have large shopping centres and a green park close to the building. It is a practical address for anyone who wants to live in the central business district.

The nearest BTS station, Chidlom, is 450 metres from the building. Ploenchit station is also close by, so the Skytrain network and the main central districts of Bangkok are easy to reach. Because the shopping centres and Lumpini Park are within walking distance, many daily trips can be made on foot without a car, which saves time on the road.

The Park Chidlom was completed in 2008. The project has two buildings of 35 floors each. It is an established condominium in central Bangkok with professional management. Apartments here are spacious, with generous ceiling heights: one of the units for sale has a ceiling height of 275 cm. The layouts suit families and buyers who value space and privacy in the middle of the city.

The project has a lagoon swimming pool, a fitness centre and spa, tennis and squash courts, and a garden with barbecue areas. There is 24-hour security with CCTV, a library, a playground and a meeting room. Pets are allowed, which is not common among Bangkok condominiums. Some apartments in the project have private elevators, which adds to privacy for residents.

Two apartments are for sale now, priced from THB 36,500,000 to THB 76,500,000. Sizes range from 156 sq m to 260 sq m, on floors 3 to 11. One apartment has two bedrooms and the other has four. Both are fully furnished and have city views. The 156 sq m apartment has two bathrooms, a large balcony and one fixed parking space. The common area fee is THB 100 per sq m per month.

Both apartments are freehold. A foreign freehold quota is available, so a foreign buyer can hold title to the apartment directly. Full furnishing means you can move in without spending extra on fitting out the home. Buyers with pets will find that the building's pet policy allows them. Monthly common area fees are calculated on the floor area of the apartment, so larger units carry a proportionally higher fee.
