If you are someone looking for a residential location near the skytrain, in a reasonably priced condo, with a complete living environment that meets all lifestyle activities, and easy, convenient, and quick access to the CBD, then everything mentioned can be found at “Charan-Sathorn-Bang Phlat”, a location that many often overlook.

Discover ‘Charan-Bang Phlat’: A Location Not to Be Overlooked

Charan-Sathorn is a district in Thonburi, surrounded by the charm of old communities, and has been a residential area for a long time, with Charan-Sathorn Road serving as the main route for travel. This road connects to Ratchadapisek Road and several other important roads, including Sirinthorn Road, Ratchawithi Road, and Arun Amarin Road.

Currently, the entire stretch of Charan-Sathorn Road has undergone several phases of traffic improvement to enhance travel convenience, including the Bang Phlat underpass, multiple elevated bridges, and reduced travel time via the Si Rat Outer Ring Expressway, which connects the western and eastern sides of Bangkok.

Importantly, there are also the Rama 7 Bridge, Rama 8 Bridge, and Krungthon Bridge connecting inner Bangkok and facilitating travel outside the city towards Ratchaphruek and Nakhon Pathom, making transportation by private car in and out of the city much easier.

However, the factor that has made the Charan-Sathorn area, especially the ‘Charan-Bang Phlat’ section, a focal point and a rapidly growing location is undoubtedly the arrival of the blue line extension of the MRT from Bang Sue to Tha Phra, which has made travel in the Thonburi area much easier. In just a few minutes, you can reach Bang Sue and Chatuchak stations, and you can easily connect to other CBDs in inner Bangkok in just a short time, as it connects to the interchange point for the green line, which is like the main artery for travel in central Bangkok.

Moreover, the blue line can also connect to other public transport and important piers located along the Chao Phraya River, providing many travel options.

Meeting All Lifestyle Needs with Quick Access to Job Opportunities

The accessibility of the blue line extension from Tha Phra to Bang Sue to the Charan-Bang Phlat area is a key component that allows residents to easily travel to the city center. In just a few stations, you can reach Bang Sue Central Station, making it convenient to get to Chatuchak Park and various shopping areas, or directly to the New CBD at Rama 9 in just a few minutes, significantly reducing travel time compared to the past.

This not only makes the Charan-Bang Phlat area easily accessible to lifestyle venues but also means access to important job and commercial districts, as the blue line allows for quick travel to the New CBD at Ratchadapisek and Rama 9, which are major employment hubs.

Not only is travel convenient, but the Charan-Bang Phlat area is also rich in existing amenities, including office buildings like SCG, EGAT, shopping centers, markets, restaurants, and various retail shops such as Tesco Lotus, Foodland, Makro, Tang Hua Seng Thonburi, Central Pinklao, Major Pinklao, and the Maruay Food Center in Pinklao.

If you want to change the atmosphere and enjoy the riverside lifestyle, you can easily do so, as it is not far from famous food spots like Yaowarat, or you can wander through the alleys of Charan-Sathorn Road, which often hide many delicious old restaurants.

On weekends, you can take your family or friends to relax at riverside attractions not far from the area, including various museums, the Grand Palace, and beautiful ancient temples along the Chao Phraya River.

Additionally, the ‘Charan-Bang Phlat’ area is surrounded by well-known schools and hospitals, such as St. Gabriel's College, Queen's College, Suan Dusit Rajabhat University, Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University, Yanhee Hospital, Chao Phraya Hospital, or you can cross over to the Phra Nakhon side, which is a Medical Hub near Victory Monument.
