5 Key Differences of the “Baan Piam Suk Pinklao-Kanchanaphisek” Project

Townhomes in the Heart of the Western Development Zone

               When talking about the western zone, many people envision the Thonburi side, which is notoriously difficult to travel into the city. However, that image has changed, especially in the Bang Yai-Kanchanaphisek area, thanks to the Si Rat Expressway that connects to the city, making travel much more convenient. Additionally, various development projects have transformed the area from a “suburb” once thought to be hard to access into a rapidly growing residential zone, now ranked among the hottest locations for horizontal living.

Elevating “Thonburi Suburb” to “Western Development Hub”

               So, what has elevated the Bang Yai-Kanchanaphisek area? Since the opening of CentralPlaza Westgate in 2015, it has created excitement among the residents of Bang Yai-Kanchanaphisek, as CentralPlaza Westgate has become an important landmark in Bang Yai. With a vast area of 500,000 square meters, it is now the largest shopping center in Thailand. There’s no need to elaborate on the completeness and density of its offerings; many readers have likely visited it. In 2016, the Si Rat-Outer Ring Expressway was opened, connecting Kanchanaphisek to Mo Chit, allowing residents of Bang Yai-Kanchanaphisek to travel into the city more easily, saving time previously lost to traffic jams.

               

In addition to the aforementioned projects, there are two major government projects that will further upgrade “Bang Yai-Kanchanaphisek” from merely a suburban residential area to a future “Western Development Hub” that everyone will be watching. The “Bang Yai-Kanchanaburi Motorway” will not only facilitate quicker travel for people from Bangkok and Nonthaburi to the western region but will also serve as an important economic route connecting production bases and exports to Dawei. TerraBKK predicts that once this project is completed, land prices in Bang Yai will soar. Recently, the Department of Public Works has prepared to designate Bang Yai-Kanchanaphisek as one of eight zones to become a “Node or New Economic Center”, planning to increase bonus areas for commercial development. Although this project is still in its early stages, it reinforces the notion that even from the government’s perspective, “Bang Yai-Kanchanaphisek” is one of the most interesting economic locations right now.

               However, many may feel that becoming an economic hub is still a distant concept. Let’s refocus on the more immediate aspects of daily life in this area and explore what makes the “Bang Yai-Kanchanaphisek” zone so convenient and interesting.

               One of the main attractions is the renowned shopping destinations in this area. No matter which direction you drive, you will encounter numerous Lifestyle Malls, perfect for family relaxation, especially in the Ratchaphruek area, which is filled with leading Community Malls like The Circle Ratchaphruek and Food Villa Ratchaphruek. Additionally, other amenities such as schools and hospitals are readily available.

As Condominiums Begin to Dominate, Horizontal Living Becomes More Attractive

               Naturally, as the area grows, the types of residences are shifting towards vertical living. In the “Bang Yai-Kanchanaphisek” area, we are starting to see more condominiums, both along the BTS lines and in the Ratchaphruek area. While not as prevalent as in the city, it shows that rising land prices are pushing developers to focus on condominiums instead. Wouldn’t it be better if we could still find homes in condominium areas in this zone? Most housing projects are located deep within alleys, away from main roads, or if they are on main roads, they tend to be luxury projects costing over 10 million baht.

               When TerraBKK analyzed second-hand townhomes listed on terrabkk.com since 2015, we found that the prices of townhomes have been steadily increasing, averaging 5-10% per year (selecting only townhomes with similar land and usable areas). It’s evident that townhome prices began to rise significantly in 2017, coinciding with the opening of the Purple Line.

               The areas with the highest selling prices are along Kanchanaphisek-Nakhon In and near CentralPlaza Westgate. The Kanchanaphisek-Nakhon In area is close to the expressway, making it more convenient for commuting to the city than other areas, while Central Plaza Westgate is near the Purple Line, so it’s no surprise that these two areas have higher selling prices than others.

“Baan Piam Suk Pinklao-Kanchanaphisek”: The Only Townhome on Rare Land at an Affordable Price

               The “Baan Piam Suk Pinklao-Kanchanaphisek” project is a 3-story townhome at a price you can afford. While we won’t disclose the price just yet, the project’s standout features will make you feel the “value for every baht spent”. Here are 5 reasons why you should consider the “Baan Piam Suk Pinklao-Kanchanaphisek” project.

1. The Only Townhome Project Adjacent to a Major Road (Kanchanaphisek) at an Affordable Price

               When it comes to the most distinctive feature that is hard to find in any other project, it’s the location adjacent to a major road like Kanchanaphisek. You’ll notice that we rarely see horizontal projects located right next to such a major road. If there are any, they are usually luxury single-house projects priced over 10 million baht. If your budget is under 10 million, you’ll have to go deep into the alleys.

               So, what’s the advantage of being next to a major road? It’s another advantage because the Baan Piam Suk Pinklao-Kanchanaphisek project is on the inbound side to Bangkok and just 3 kilometers from the expressway entrance (Chimphli Toll Plaza). Therefore, you will only take 5 minutes to reach the expressway, and overall, it will take just 30 minutes to get to Bang Sue Toll Plaza, allowing easy access to the city center.

2. Spacious Usable Area Comparable to a Single House

               Generally, townhomes have a usable area of about 95-120 square meters, but since the “Baan Piam Suk Pinklao-Kanchanaphisek” project is designed as a 3-story townhome, it expands the usable area to a spacious 165 square meters, comparable to a single house. Additionally, the width of the front of the house is 5.7 meters, allowing for comfortable parking of up to 2 cars. The interior space is well-organized.

3. Superior Materials and Innovative Design Compared to Typical 3-Story Townhomes

               Let’s take a look at the house itself. One thing that the TerraBKK team noticed is the quality of materials, which is above standard. Additionally, the house is constructed using lightweight bricks that help reduce noise and keep the house cool. What stands out the most is the design that deviates from typical 3-story townhomes, featuring a Double Space design connecting the 2nd and 3rd floors, making the house feel airy and spacious, facilitating better air circulation and preventing stuffiness. Moreover, the windows are designed to be larger to allow ample light in. If you’ve ever visited other 3-story townhomes, you’ll notice that the 2nd floor tends to be dark due to light blockage, but in the “Baan Piam Suk Pinklao-Kanchanaphisek” project, there are no dark spots in the house, thanks to the abundance of large windows that keep the house bright.

               Furthermore, the Double Space design not only enhances brightness but also creates a multifunctional area that is 6 meters high, making it feel spacious and not cramped. This area can be adapted for lounging or working, and the unique design sets it apart from typical townhomes. Usually, the Double Space design is found in high-end projects, but here you can experience it without having to invest in an expensive project.

4. Flexible Functionality: Suitable for Living or Office Use

               Being a 3-story townhome, many may have ideas for adapting the house for various uses beyond just living. The advantage of being a 3-story townhome is that the 1st and 2nd floors can be converted into an office, while the 3rd floor, which serves as the Master Bedroom, can be a private space. The top floor is designed as a penthouse with a walk-in closet, clearly separating the bedroom from the closet, allowing for comfortable living on the 3rd floor, comparable to a condo of about 40 square meters.

5. Comprehensive Facilities Beyond Other Townhome Projects

               Now, let’s look at the overall project. The facilities provided by the project are more comprehensive than those of typical townhome projects. But how much more comprehensive? TerraBKK has created a comparison chart to illustrate this, selecting only projects in close proximity to the “Baan Piam Suk Pinklao-Kanchanaphisek” project for clearer visualization.
