Always looking forward to your new condo tours, appreciate the no bs videos! Thanks mate.

[@ProjectBangkok]

Your welcome! I actually had to visit 4 condos before one would let me shoot a video.. was a nightmare and wasted a whole day., I really wanted to shoot a budget one for you guys but was an epic fail.. I need a new approach haha 😂

[@ExploringBangkok]

Perfect presentation! Thanks, Rob 😊🙏🏻

[@ProjectBangkok]

Your very welcome! More to come

[@chiragjoshi5729]

Lovely condo n beautiful area...as usual it was pleasure watching video...thanks for sharing Rob...keep sharing

[@ProjectBangkok]

Your welcome my man.. more on the way shortly

[@PaulTAdventures]

Great content as always and yeh definitely agree this area will suit your needs. Nice views , nice pool and the rooms look decent I would consider renting an apartment. Keep the condo tours coming ….

[@ProjectBangkok]

Pleasure as always! These building are epic inside and out 👌🏻

[@noodlesvr95615]

9 more years tell my daughters 18 & I can move to Bangkok. My current retirement is $5,300 a month. It’s looking like I can live like a king!

[@CricketWebNet]

Personally Rob, i like your current condo unit more ! Larger, and better pool.

[@CricketWebNet]

The final one being the exception of course. I didn't see the rental prices?

[@ProjectBangkok]

Rental price was only on 1.. these units were direct with the developer.. a quick google for rental units in there would find the same style with a price but takes a bit of searching around I’m afraid

[@Steve-fi1jp]

​@@ProjectBangkok fazwaz is really good for prices

[@soumaasma348]

Great video 👍

[@gilalfaro1120]

how much is this a month 9,500,000?

[@TheMikeyStory]

I have stayed in condos in rama 9 that were cheaper and offer a better layout and and so on than in the ashton , I love the rama 9 area .

[@haideryousaf7270]

Back to good old Ashton lol. Those views from the rooms look incredible. Same for the pools

[@ProjectBangkok]

I only realized after that every single unit is a corner unit as well

[@simonpaice103]

Hey Rob. I was a little bit critical of a previous condo review you published, but gotta say that this was really good. Informative, well filmed and gave lots of different options. You even called out the grubby windows! Well done.

[@ProjectBangkok]

Do you mean the Samui video Simon? I some what winged that video based on the short time I was there. I’ll still to Bangkok accommodation from now on I think.. experience is everything 👌🏻

[@jomontanee]

8:31 Awww this 5th room makes my wallet in hand shaking uncontrollably!!😂❤❤

[@dt9510]

Glad to hear jodd fair is going. It's hawker restaurants(tourist) not a real night market. For street food follow the alley around the back of Tesco.

[@ProjectBangkok]

I know exactly where your talking about.. I actually covered that street food in the Rama 9 video I did 👌🏻

[@jdniuz1224]

That is gorgeous. Amazing amenities & view.

[@ian-james]

The Ashton condos always have the best ,prime locations and great facilities. The pools at Life Asoke are absolutely stunning.Facilities at Life Asoke Hype are great too.

[@ProjectBangkok]

I really need to check out Life Asoke at some point

[@JacksparowLL]

The rooms are so nice and epic view.

[@jonh.7661]

Nice video. Nice to see a building that's a bit different as opposed to the standard cookie cutter rooms. That Ratchadapisek area from Suttisan down to Asok is my favorite area to live in Bangkok. Especially from Huay Kwang to Rama9. There used to be a good local (not tourist) night market at Huay Kwang too.

[@exalhoa]

It's still going strong. Open until 4am every night.

[@exalhoa]

I'm in a condo next to the Petchaburi MRT. Rama 9 area is one stop north and is where I do all my daily living stuff like banking, Tops market etc. Then one stop south is Asoke and tourist central if that what I want to do. Important to me was to be within reasonable walking distance to the parks which was why I did not take a condo in the Rama 9 area but it's a great area.

[@ProjectBangkok]

Sound logical to me 👍🏻 is there a park near Petchaburi though? That’s deffo a downside to Rama 9 for sure! We just got a park open at chidlom that was much needed! Concrete jungle

[@exalhoa]

@@ProjectBangkok I found an exercise area under the big tollway interchange to the west of rama 9, just past the makkasan railcar graveyard. But it's not very nice so I walk to Benchshiri or Benchkitti (30 mins). I look specifically for pull-up bars. Benchashiri has lots of those. In the morning or evening lots of locals getting some exercise in so the people watching is good also!

[@PFG888]

Thanks for the video! Would have been nice if you had shown the gyms and shared office spaces. (apparently there is 2 gyms and office spaces, 1 in each building, do you get access to both?) Also, from other videos I saw, this place have a corridor layout, doesn't it have that sound issue you mention in previous video?

[@ProjectBangkok]

There were people in the gym and office when I was filming that day and wasn’t going to be “That guy” lol I’m not a real estate agent don’t forget. I would say that in ashtons the build quality is so good that it’s likely not a problem

[@PFG888]

@@ProjectBangkok Hey Rob, thanks for the reply! No worries, I kind of figure that was the case, but just wanted to ask about it. By any chance was there a billiards table in one of the 2 buildings? haha And any idea what they are going to replace Jodds Fair with after 2023? (FYI I love your Night Market videos, and completely agree with your ranking of them)

[@gtrfreak]

Ashton Chula-Silom, Ashton Asoke, and Ashton Rama 9! All beautiful buildings in their own right, for me Ashton Asoke has the best pool. My only gripe is in most of their rooms you have to sidestep around the bed to access your wardrobe and balcony which is a pain!

[@user-zz9mj9mg1l]

Hey rob....🎉 Please make more videos about condo tours .....

[@ProjectBangkok]

More on the way.. just a nightmare to get into them.. red tape all the time it’s a nightmare for me

[@DadOnHisOwn]

Another very good video - but I am shocked by the size of the rooms and the prices quoted. I would go mad in a condo that small. It wouldn't work for me.

[@ProjectBangkok]

The first room in the vid was the only one I could afford about a year ago and that’s the exact reason I didn’t move in also.. for some people though this will be an ideal space to have. It’s all about perspective

[@ifitistobeitisuptome]

Beautiful building, beautiful apartments! But........ VERY SMALL & VERY EXPENSIVE! So I'm not surprised there is still a lot of availability!

[@ProjectBangkok]

Across most of Bangkok there’s only about 40% occupancy rate in these condo blocks

[@samuelalix7208]

Thank you for the tip. While on holiday, it would rather stay in the area that is less touristy. Less traffic, and the other issues you addressed in 'The REAL Reasons I left ASOKE?!' video, Agape! ~Sam

[@mrt6349]

The last unit i would tear down that study area for a larger livingroom. Nice tour not so much fluff just a good show and then on to the next.

[@ProjectBangkok]

Oh I actually like that little study because of the epic view when sat down.. gives a bit of privacy if your working and living work someone else that’s watching tv at the same time I guess

[@mrt6349]

@@ProjectBangkok Yahh i was looking at it as a single egoistic man :)

[@ProjectBangkok]

Same mindset as me then.. so some kind of swing system in there then 😂

[@daytradingzoo]

Great videos Rob. Really enjoy the insights. Can you give any tips for somebody who would love to stay at some of these premium places like the Ashton but perhaps just for 2 weeks or a month?

[@ProjectBangkok]

To be honest your looking for an airbnb for that period of time.. keep in mind that legally min stay in Airbnb is 1 month I would never stay less than that 😉🙈 haha

[@Doddiloddy]

Keep em coming

[@ProjectBangkok]

More incoming soon 👌🏻

[@biber9979]

Beautiful building and apartments. But bro can you explain me how in Thailand(and some other asian countries) they calculate size of apartments. For example that 43.6 sqm apartment would be around 32-35 sqm at most in Europe. So how did they get such a big number. I mean that LDK is super narrow its like maybe 15 sqm, bedroom is like 7 sqm(plus 4-5 sqm for that area right from the bed) and bathroom 5 sqm. So that is more like 32 sqm. Same thing with my apartment in China. It the contract they mentioned that it is 162 sqm big...but after all the measurements i did i realized that it's around 100 sqm big.

[@michaeludom9185]

Right, it's a very good place to stay. I know that area very well. 😊

[@mattchannel7075]

Great content, very informative, thanks!

I sometimes went to that market when I was living close by.

[@kohchangtai7820]

Hey Rob, Imagine money was not an issue, which area and condo would you recommend?

[@jameelabellingport6369]

What's the price for these in usa money

[@habibi750]

Silly question. Do these units come furnished?

awesome stuff as always :) maybe by 2025 I may get something like that XD cool place for sure.

dont let.. the pool in the sun go by.. many condos have the pool in the shade and is freezing water.

[@kaiserwilhelmsland]

Rama 9 and the 2001 Tina Arena minor hit - Soul Mate Number 9. the district in Bangkok, Thailand and the Thai king - really this song is about them, but someone changed it from Soul mate number 9 to Rama number 9

[@Twiceonasunday]

Is this the development that is ordered to be demolished or is it the one down in Asoke nearby Terminal 21?

[@ProjectBangkok]

No Ashton is due to be “demolished” actually. But no this is not the one that has an ongoing argument about it’s land access with the MRTA

[@ahmetkayam4982]

Watching this video was an exercise in patience.

[@ProjectBangkok]

Why? Zero context to this comment at all. Pointless

[@bijanbayne3259]

I'm looking f/ a short term hotel near Lumpinee Stadium, as I'll likely be doing some boxing p.r., and may end up moving there (but more likely Jomtien)

[@enzos711]

Why, only the 1st one had a "rental price" (only one for rent) ?

[@ProjectBangkok]

That I showed in the video yes.. all of these units are from the developer.. if you like. Room type and style then take a note of it and do a quick google for rooms to rent there.. there’s only so much I can do haha

[@Twiiik]

Went looking at this project a couple of weeks ago. I really don't like this, and similar projects, where common facilities as "sun deck", rooftop garden and pool areas are facing north/nort-east. I did however really like projects like Celes Asoke, Park Origin and Rhythm Ekkamai Estate.

[@bogus_not_me]

Very nice but VERY expensive! Double the cost for 1/4 the space of my house in NC, USA! Guess I won't be moving there!

[@ProjectBangkok]

This is a completely prime location to be honest. I will likely find a nice little spot for 10,000 that’s only a short walk away so stay tuned for that 👍🏻

Very nice but a bit pricey for what you get in my opinion. The 1 unit at close to 1/2 a million GBP really???? I know it's a city capital but I would want a lot more at that price.

[@Walktonowhere1]

They're horrible in every SE Asian country. On really high condo floors there are less of them though, so try and live above them.

Feel like so much work goes into the facilities and building, but the rooms are always shoe boxes and expensive in Bangkok.

[@ProjectBangkok]

Very judgemental and rude with the shoebox comment. Some people would kill for a condo like this. Please respect others

[@canadian1445]

@@ProjectBangkok how is saying Bangkok apartments have gotten expensive being judgemental lol? ~$1000usd for 32sqm isn't cheap. I absolutely love Bangkok, just relative to other big cities in SE Asia, accommodation has gotten pricey. As an example, here in Hanoi we pay slightly under 20,000THB (equivalent) for over 100sqm

[@ProjectBangkok]

@canadian1445 calling them shoeboxes is judgemental.. as I said. You're comparing apples to oranges though.. how much is 32sqm in New York.. because that's the equivalent in the US of what Bangkok is in Asia

[@canadian1445]

@@ProjectBangkok didn't mean to be judgemental. Simply meant apartments feel 'small relative to the price' and that Bangkok buildings seem to try and sell the facilities over the actual apartment. Regardless, I enjoy your videos and love the city! (and maybe Bangkok could be compared to the New York of Southeast Asia lol but not Asia)

[@vaughnsvideos]

Sadly, i watched the whole video and dont know how much a si gle unit was. Fancy fade in and font disappeared so fast and was so hard to read on my phone, I could not even figure out what language I was looking at... not worth going back and trying to find the 2 second slices....

[@ProjectBangkok]

Nah not worth it at all. The other 27,000 people must be wrong and you are right. Thank you Karen 🙏

[@vaughnsvideos]

You got 2,700 likes out of 138k views and with only 15k subscribers, not sure where you get 27,000 people disagree with my font/fade criticism. Don't think you know what a Karen is either. Someone making a comment is not a Karen, going over the top, becoming unhinged, endless rants, that makes a Karen. I was merely suggesting that some people watch on a small phone screen, and legibility should be considered more than trying to be all fancy and making it hard to read. 5 condos and after missing a few prices, I focused and still did not get a single price. Maybe a "I will keep legibility in mind! Thanks" would have been more appropriate than attacking me and being a d1ck.

[@MattOffBrand]

Beautiful, but too small.

[@ProjectBangkok]

On this building I think you deffo sacrifice space for location and quality

[@jlee324]

A couple interesting layouts at Ashton. However, that neighborhood is awful. I stayed there for one month, and it’s basically a lower-tier commercial district with poor walkability, limited food options (mall, and Jodd Fairs has moved), and surrounded by big, noisy roads.

[@ProjectBangkok]

Wow seriously? Did you look behind the mall? There’s over 100 local Thai vendors down all the back streets.. jodd fairs is there till the end of the year but even with that gone Rama 9 has more food than most other areas in bangkok by far

[@jlee324]

@@ProjectBangkok I’m not speaking only about food. There are better neighborhoods that feature a more pleasant atmosphere with more diverse neighborhood amenities within a very short walk. IMO that Ashton condo isn’t worth paying to live in Rama 9, especially longer-term.

[@bakerdow9884]

These apartments are more for bragging rights of prestige in BKK 🤣There are less pretentious paradise like lux designs at a fraction of these prices. But sure, much more seductive than 5* apartments here in London.
