I met an old lady in the Netherlands and she said she stayed each year for 3 months in Thailand. I asked her why. She said: Thailand is paradise with nice people, fantastic food and good living. Now I know what she ment with paradise. It's indeed paradise compared to the West. What I want to know is why Europe is so far behind in interior and exterior design. Asia is like at least 30 years ahead of almost everything. Thank you for showing us a different level for life, Forrest Lee! And thanks to Sophia for the tour.

The tours of both condos were fantastic. The second one ESSE seemed to be my choice it was more practical and cost wise more economical. Sophia does a wonderful job making a place into a warmer home feeling look. The locations were excellent in both places. For those who seek a great place and want a higher living standard these places would be great. Thumbs Up Forest great job along with Sophia. Best to you both from Canada EH!

@jeffmazziotta2 жыл бұрын
that 2nd one is definitely the one i would choose, the price is much more reasonable, the size is definitely enough without being too large and the decor/style of the room seems more suitable to me as well. I was thinking the first one's gym with that private pilates/yoga area wouldn't be able to be touched but then the 2nd even had a small rock wall! I agree the first gym is still better but the rock wall and the ring to do some shadowboxing are pretty cool touches and is the cherry on top.

Great - keep doing these size condos in different areas and conditions. I surely need minimum 60 m2, as I also work from home. Personally I would look for something around 40 - 50.000 baht per month. I right now rent a fairly new 75 m2 apartment in the centre of Barcelona (Spain) and pay 1300 € (47.000 baht), and would think that Bangkok should not be more expensive. Of course the amenities like you show, I don't have in Barcelona :-)) Well coming in a few weeks to study the market and will move permanently in September.

I agree Forrest would like to see some more 50sqm and above units instead of the shoeboxes. However, there may be a reason why the Celes unit still empty and brand new cause at that price point will be difficult to find your avg renter. So would be good to see bigger units 50+ but also a bit more affordable in the maybe 800-1500 range which I think is more of the sweet spot for us looking for a bigger unit but still on a bachelor budget. I did like the esse unit layout better but the location in asoke more convenient. In either case love sofias touches and decor choices and she’s well knowledge as an agent top notch! Definitely do more vids w her.

Other agent sent subordinate and did not show me anything that I asked for, except for 1 condo! Fortunately found another agent quickly that was really good! Sophia seems like a top notch agent though! I chose Ashton Asoke just for the area and convenience to everything! Only thing I don't like about this area though is lack of street food vendors!

But I would love to watch videos showing it and the cost. One solution is of course to have one room in the condo as office or hang out in the buildings common areas. But I like to be able to have a small office space in an office building.

We prefer then second one great space and fantastic amenities with great transport links, which we will need in order travel to Nakon Sawan to my in-laws and Grandparents of my daughter. How far is St. Andrews International School from the Esse? Would you get a greater discount if you rent the condo for 10 years? Furthermore I don't understand Bangkok property as seem that the market is oversupplying the demand, it seems that Thailand are obsessed with building condos and shopping complex, so it would be interesting to know what the occupying rate is for condos in Bangkok. which bring onto my next point the high prices, I understand the likes of Singapore, Hong Kong, London having high property prices due to the lack of land but in Bangkok don't seem to be struggling to house people or land ?
