There is of course the rule, how closer you wanna live towards the CBD how more it’s going to cost. Some of the new upcoming area’s as Bearing (The Gallery Condo) are however great investments for the lower budgets. Projects that are closer to the BTS (Sky Train) and MRT (Metro) stations and the CBD are more expensive.

The river side houses some of the finest hotels present in Bangkok, hereby you can think of The Mandarin Oriental, The Peninsula and the Shangri-La Hotel. Also most projects are offering stunning views over the River and more towards Bangkok CBD.

The prices in the area are rising fast as more and more luxurious projects are being completed such as “The River” from “Raimond Land“. Those prices can be found back around 200,000 THB per Sq.m.
4. Most investors are looking towards the High-End market of Bangkok. This of course because most people believe in “Prime Location”  The upper expatriates from Bangkok are given housing allowance from about 70,000 0 100,000 THB. This can be considered as the high-end projects of Bangkok.

9. The most common units in Bangkok can be found back in the middle segment, mostly consisting out of 1 and 2 bedroom condominiums.
10. Some of the lower end segment investors are focussing on some of the extensions of both the BTS and MRT lines. They are gambling on a higher demand from the outskirts of Bangkok towards the CBD.
