Keep an eye on the potential location “Riverside on the Chao Phraya” as high-end mixed-use residential projects launch alongside new landmarks that boost tourism, enhancing the appeal of the riverside area to be on par with other charming residential locations.

          The essence of traditional lifestyles, blending various cultures including Thai, Chinese, and Western, harmoniously coexists in the area of “Charoen Krung”, an ancient commercial community along the Chao Phraya River. This area remains irresistibly charming, not only for its captivating antiquity but also for the rich history and stories hidden along Charoen Krung Road, the first paved road in Bangkok and Thailand.

“Charoen Krung” - A Landmark for Artists

          Charoen Krung Road is considered a classic area filled with charm, style, and vibrant lifestyles, characterized by retro architecture in the “Sino-Portuguese” style that invites admiration. Today, this area boasts numerous new landmarks that attract young people, artists, hipsters, and tourists alike, such as the TCDC building (formerly the Bang Rak Central Post Office), a creative design center featuring Art Deco architecture that harmonizes with the area's antiquity while offering modern designs that cater to the new generation's lifestyle.

          Additionally, if you wander along Soi Charoen Krung 32 next to TCDC, you'll find vibrant wall art and graffiti created by artists from around the world, perfect for check-ins and photos. Soi Charoen Krung 30 is home to “Warehouse 30”, a trendy new warehouse community designed by a renowned Thai architect, featuring shops, a homemade market, and multipurpose spaces for exhibitions.

“Charoen Krung” - A Landmark of Religious Sites

          For art enthusiasts, Charoen Krung also offers another charm that food lovers will surely appreciate, as the area is surrounded by delicious restaurants, some over 100 years old, alongside trendy new eateries.

          Charoen Krung Road is also rich in historical attractions, showcasing social, religious, and cultural aspects. Particularly in terms of religion, the area features various religious sites, such as Wat Uphaitharam (a Vietnamese temple), Our Lady of the Rosary Church (Galway Church) for Christians, the Galway Church, a Roman Catholic church over 120 years old, and Wat Traimit Witthayaram Worawihan, also known as the Three Chinese Temples.

“Charoen Krung” - A Landmark for High-End Living

          With the potential and charm of Charoen Krung, along with convenient transportation options like the BTS Skytrain at Taksin Bridge, the Si Phraya Pier, and public transport, it’s no surprise that this area, once the most prosperous in the past, is now being eyed as a high-potential location for luxury living, distinguished by its unique character. Currently, numerous high-end condominiums are emerging along both sides of the Chao Phraya River, from Asiatique to the Yodpiman Market, on both Charoen Krung and Charoennakorn sides.

          It will be interesting to see how this area develops over the next 4-5 years, as Charoen Krung is likely to become a new landmark in Bangkok due to the emergence of many new projects, such as the Bangkok Observation Tower, a 459-meter structure expected to significantly attract tourism, along with various high-end condominiums with special tall buildings, including large mixed-use projects like Icon Siam, Four Seasons Private Residences, and The Residence at Mandarin Oriental Bangkok. The prices of riverside condominiums are soaring, reaching up to 400,000 THB per square meter, making them part of the luxury segment that has already become the new CBD of Bangkok. We can expect to see a new face of the Chao Phraya riverside area soon, as many projects are set to complete and open by the end of 2018.

Menam Residence: Luxury Condos at Great Value

          With the confirmed growth of real estate development along the Chao Phraya River, prices have significantly increased due to the location's potential, and another factor is that there is hardly any land left for development along the river. Therefore, it is a great opportunity to quickly secure ownership of luxurious condominium units at the best value. Menam Residence, a luxury condominium along the Chao Phraya River, is another ready-to-move-in project that meets all the needs of those wanting to live by the river, offering beauty, luxury, and tranquility. The prices remain very reasonable, with penthouses ranging from 274 to 285 square meters starting at 61 million THB, averaging just 223,000 THB per square meter.

          Additionally, Menam Residence stands out for its location with stunning views of the Chao Phraya River bend. The building is designed with a friendly design concept and a single corridor layout that allows river views from every room, while also providing five-star hotel-level services to residents. Particularly, the penthouses at Menam Residence are fully furnished and ready for immediate occupancy, and it is a condo available for freehold sale.
