Habitat Ruamchok: The Aesthetic of Living in the Economic Hub of Chiang Mai
No matter how much time passes, ‘Chiang Mai’ remains a dream destination for many seeking a place to live. Having a home close to the city, with mountain views, surrounded by amenities and the charm of Lanna culture, is undoubtedly a life filled with aesthetics.
Habitat Ruamchok is a single-detached house project located in the economic hub of Chiang Mai, surrounded by nature, developed by a true Lanna entrepreneur who understands the essence of Chiang Mai at a DNA level, Orsirin Holding Public Company Limited. Here are the reasons why the Habitat Ruamchok project meets the needs for location, living quality, and can turn your dream home into reality.
Where is the Economic Hub of Chiang Mai?
The first aspect of a dream home location is being in a place with potential. Although Chiang Mai does not have a cluster of high-rise buildings like Bangkok's CBD, its business districts are spread across multiple centers. According to The Urbanis by UDDC, an analysis of Chiang Mai's economic zones reveals three types of economic districts:
- Central City Economic Zone: This includes both the old and new city centers, divided into two groups: Group 1: Tha Pae-Chang Moi-Chang Klan-Kad Luang and Group 2: Huay Kaew-Nimmanhaemin.
- Corner Economic Zone: This emerging economic area serves as a commercial hub, consisting of two groups: Group 3: Airport Intersection-Mahidol and Group 4: Ruamchok-Fah Ham-Akhet.
- Strip Economic Zone: This economic area is concentrated along specific roads, comprising two groups: Group 5: San Pa Khoi-Jaroen Muang-Nong Prateep and Group 6: Chang Phueak-Santi Tham-Chotana.

By examining the types of economic districts alongside the Chiang Mai Master Plan 2012 and the Chiang Mai Master Plan (4th Revision), it is evident that the economic zones align with the urban planning, especially Group 4: Ruamchok-Fah Ham-Akhet, which is set to be designated as a large red zone (commercial) in the future, comparable to the central city economic zone.
Ruamchok: A Rapidly Growing Economic Zone
Ruamchok, one of the economic areas in Group 4, has seen growth through the expansion of shopping centers and commerce. An analysis of the central city economic zone index by The Urbanis by UDDC shows that Ruamchok has the highest economic index score in this group. When viewed from a broader perspective, Ruamchok has potential in several aspects, including:

- Connection to Major Roads: Ruamchok is located on the central ring road, linking to several important roads in Chiang Mai. For those looking to exit the city, it connects to Third Ring Road and Chiang Mai-Doi Saket Road. For city connectivity, it links to Super Highway, Chang Phueak Road, and Huay Kaew Road.
- Connection to Central Areas: In addition to being a sub-center, Ruamchok's location on the ring road allows for quick access to the city center (Moat) and Nimmanhaemin.
- Connection to Employment Sources: The central ring road provides direct access to the Chiang Mai Government Center, a significant employment hub nearby, along with other amenities such as schools and hospitals.
Other Dimensions Making Ruamchok a Desirable Living Area
In addition to convenient transportation, the Habitat Ruamchok project has several other dimensions that make it a popular residential area close to Chiang Mai, such as:
- Close to Nature: Despite being near the city, Ruamchok is surrounded by nature and mountain views, allowing residents to experience the natural atmosphere every morning.
- Proximity to Commercial Areas: Just 5 minutes away, residents can access the largest shopping areas in Ruamchok, such as Mihok Plaza and Ruamchok Mall.
- Close to Employment Sources: In addition to the Chiang Mai Government Center, which is the nearest large employment source, residents can easily access other job locations such as Teppanya Hospital, Bangkok Chiang Mai Hospital, Lanna Hospital, McCormick Hospital, and Maharaj Hospital or Chiang Mai Business Park.
- Diversity: Ruamchok is also a location of interest for expatriates, being close to both the city and nature. Chiang Mai has over 15,800 foreign residents working and retiring each year.

Growth of Single-Detached House Prices in Ruamchok
The single-detached house market in Ruamchok over the past 10 years has shown a continuous supply, especially between 2009-2014 when Chiang Mai announced its master plan, leading to a notable population and housing expansion, particularly in San Sai district. The growth of infrastructure and commercial projects has well-supported residential living, attracting private sectors to develop housing to meet the rising demand. New single-detached house prices have grown by an average of 7% per year, from an average price of approximately 3.9 million baht in 2014 to the current average selling price of 13 million baht, with mid-range projects starting at 6 million baht and high-end projects starting at 20 million baht.

Exploring the Single-Detached House Market in Ruamchok
Currently, the Ruamchok area has 7 single-detached house projects for sale, clustered around the second ring road (Samo Phot Chiang Mai 700 Years Road) and the outer ring road (Chiang Mai City Outer Road). New project prices start from 4 million baht to 20 million baht, averaging around 5.99 million baht, while the resale prices of second-hand houses range from approximately 4.39 to 12.9 million baht. A new project, Habitat Ruamchok, developed by Orsirin Holding Public Company Limited, features two-story single-detached houses in a French Eclectic style, situated on a project area of 30-3-1.3 rai with a total of 99 houses.

Habitat Ruamchok: The Aesthetic of European Living
The Habitat Ruamchok project is a single-detached house located in the promising Ruamchok area, situated in the heart of the central ring road (Ruamchok), allowing for convenient connections to other areas. Developed by Orsirin Holding Public Company Limited, a Lanna-based entrepreneur who deeply understands the lifestyle and needs of Chiang Mai residents.

Habitat Ruamchok is developed under the concept of Be my Eclectic: Live with Uniqueness, clearly reflected in the French Eclectic design that showcases European elegance, featuring gable roofs, a choice of elegant yet timeless color tones, arched doorways that provide more aesthetic appeal than angular shapes, and facade decorations with brick patterns to create a unique identity that stands out from other projects.
Habitat Ruamchok offers privacy to residents with only 99 units, fostering a quality community and enhancing the living experience in the heart of Chiang Mai.
Integrating Innovations for Comfortable Living
In addition to its distinctive and luxurious design, Habitat Ruamchok integrates innovations and technologies for living into the homes, ensuring residents enjoy a good quality of life and well-being at all times. The project has implemented a 3.3-kilowatt solar panel system to support alternative energy use and energy savings. These innovations have been proven to help residents live comfortably and save on expenses, as evidenced by the Habitat Super Highway project, which can save electricity costs by over 40%, or up to 9,382 kW/h per year, translating to approximately 45,000 baht annually.

- Structural and Architectural Aspects: Lightweight brick walls are used for better heat transfer, and piles are driven for both the house and fence to support future extensions and prevent settling.
- Safety Technology: An Internet of Things system from Samsung is installed to connect home usage, along with magnetic sensors for home security.
- Living Innovations: The Comfort Air innovation filters PM 2.5 dust and larger particles by up to 99.6%, providing fresh air and regulating indoor temperatures, ensuring a spacious and comfortable home.
