Location
Since Rama II district was changed to an orange area in the city plan three years ago, which means an area of higher population density, the lands have been transformed prosperously in a rapid pace. However, the advancement also came with some restrictions, the road in front of the project with an area over 10,000 Sq.m. must be at least 30 m. wide or within 500 m. away from a BTS station. Likewise, many developers have utilized wastelands into housing estates especially in the A Zone, which covers Suk Sawat Rd to Bangkok South Outer Ring Rd. Considered to be a new golden district with rapid advancement, the starting prices range from five to hundred million baht. Meanwhile, the land prices appraisal in 2016 of Bang Khun Thian District range from 54,000 to 100,000 Baht/Sq.w. and will be adjusted higher by 10-20% when major projects come to completion. One of the mentioned projects is the SRT Dark Red Line which starts from Hua Lamphong Station and ends at Maha Chai station with a total distance of 36 km., allowing residents in the proximity to travel in and out the city with ease. The advancement of infrastructure is the key for Rama II to be acclaimed as a new golden area. To demonstrate, the streets’ widths of Rama II Rd and Kanchanaphisek Rd have been widened to ten lanes each. Moreover, the roads are also connected to other important roads such as Western Outer Ring Rd., Phetkasem Rd., Ratchaphruek Rd, Thanon Kanlapaphruak and the entry of Chalerm Maha Nakhon Expressway. In addition, this district also holds a potential in terms of industrial benefits as it is the entrance to Samut Sakhon, Samut Songkhram and Hua Hin.
Project’s Location
LADAWAN Rama II is located aside Rama II Frontage Rd., where residents can reach Kanchanaphisek Rd that can lead to either Bangkok Western Outer Ring Rd or South Outer Ring Rd that leads to Bang Na and Suvarnabhumi Airport. Chalerm Maha Nakhon Rd also helps residents to enter the inner city around Sathorn or Silom with ease. In terms of amenities and public utilities, there are CentralPlaza Rama II, Tesco Lotus Rama II, The Mall Bangkae, Sarasas School, Assumption College Thonburi, Nakornthon Hospital, Bangmod Hospital, Bangpakok9 International Hospital, Kasemrad Hospital, etc. All in all, LADAWAN Rama II is located on one of the best spot of Rama II Rd.
Getting There
Personal Vehicles
Google Map’s picture illustrates the route from inner city to the project via Chalerm Maha Nakhon Expressway
From the inner city, take Chalerm Maha Nakhon Expressway which crosses Rama IX Bridge. Heading in the direction towards Samut Sakhon; once you have alighted from the expressway, go straight for another 5 km. and take the U-Turn Bridge. Once descended, go straight for 200 m. on the frontage road; the project will be on your left with noticeable grand horse sculptures at front.
From Bangkok South Outer Ring Rd., go straight along the road towards Bangkok Western Outer Ring Rd. Then, take the path which leads to Rama II Rd., descend onto Rama II Frontage Rd. and go straight for 200 m. to reach the destination on your left.
Lifestyle Amenities
One might think Rama II lacks lifestyle amenities and public utilities, but the followings may give you a clearer image of this district. One of the renowned department stores is CentralPlaza Rama II which is 3 km. away from the project; besides, Big C and Tesco Lotus are just 1 km. If you yearn for urban lifestyles in the city, Gourmet District and The Bright Mall can fulfill this need which sit 6 km. and 1.8 km. away from the project respectively. You might also be amazed that the project’s proximity covers a total of three hospitals, Nakornthon Hospital, Bangmod Hospital and Somdej Prabuddha Lertla Hospital where the first one is 2.5 km. away and the latter two are 7 km. away. For educational institution, the two famous ones are Suankularb Wittayalai School and King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi, 11 and 15 km. away respectively.
Analysis
The land price appraisal in Rama II district ranges from 80,000 to 100,000 baht/Sq.w. The price range is poised to fetch higher by 20% when SRT Dark Red Line comes to completion. As a matter of fact, acquiring a unit in LADAWAN to lease will be rare; mostly residents spend their money for residential purpose.

Summary
LADAWAN Rama II is a project of luxury mansions designed in a style of European Castle. Every unit is full of features and functions along commodious usable areas. The scenery of the project also remains in serenity as the electrical wiring is placed underground. Residents can unwind in the Clubhouse area where a large lake is surrounded with verdant recreational areas. Ones might assume Rama II to be lacked of amenities and public utilities as it is a suburban district. However, the area has actually been transforming rapidly in terms of infrastructure and life needs; consequently, led to the current land price around 80,000-100,000 baht/Sq.w. You will hardly find the same standard of luxury mansions in the vicinity, many housing estates are situated on the area heading towards Samut Sakhon with the starting price of 20-30 million baht. Therefore, LADAWAN Rama II is a gem project for affordable ones.
