Now the project has launched the second phase which comprises of low-rise residences settled around a large reflection pond, along the calmest part of Chao Phraya River that’s just a stone’s throw away.

As all units in the first phase are sold out, let’s explore this new wave of the chief riverfront habitation.

Location Potentials
Rama III is known to be an area of wealthy people who have moved to dwell here and rebuild their business after Tom Yum Goong financial crisis in 1997. The wealth of population in this area can be seen through the settles of many luxury-car show rooms such as Mercedez Benz, BMW, Bently and Aston Martin. Moreover, the second branch of HomePro, from Land and House, is being constructed, illustrating strong purchasing power in this area.
In the past, Rama III used to be an area with few roads and high density of trees. Until the advancement of infrastructure such as the coming of Sirat and Chalerm Maha Nakhon expressways, that triggered great demands for people to come and live in this area.
It is easy to assume that there’s not much difference for all spots aside Chao Phraya River in Bangkok; and only a few know that Rama III has the best one of it. Chao Phraya River in Rama III side is the calmest part of the stream as there’s low density of water transportation. This results in a serenity atmosphere you can feel and a clear relaxed view of the river as you glance your eyes across.
Although there are no BTS and MRT in the vicinity, you can still easily access CBDs. You can get to Sathorn via Naradhiwat Rajanagarindra Rd; or reach Asok by going up straight along Rama III Rd passing Rama IV Junction and finally meet Asok Junction on Sukhumvit Rd.

Looking at the project from Bhumibol Bridge
You can cross Bhumibol Bridge to access Phra Pradaeng District, which is more of a suburban area
Getting There
Personal Vehicles
Come by Chalerm Maha Nakhon Expressway (Bang Klo – Dao Kanong sign), and descend at Satupradit Exit. You will find Duan Sa Tu Junction as shown in the picture below. From that point, you can turn left to reach Rama III Rd via Satupradit Rd; but we suggest you to go straight and turn left at Rama II Rd, which will save more time because Satupradit Rd usually has a dense traffic and community areas along the road.
Duan Sa Tu Junction, go straight to turn left at Rama III Rd
Passed Duan Sa Tu Junction and turn left into Rama III Rd
At this point, you can take the elevated road to save more time, as shown in the picture
Descend from the elevated road and you will find the project at the back of Bhumibol Bridge as shown in the picture
Follow the sign “Bhumibol 1 Bumibol 2 Bridge” and stay on the left track to make a U-TURN to the other side of the road

The starting price of units in the second phase is at 145,000 Baht/Sq.m. as the project has just launched this phase on 12th May 2016. The unit price will certainly rise by looking at that in the first phase; residents who bought units in the first phase four years ago, now enjoy the benefit of price growth by 45-50%, shifted from 80,000 Baht/Sq.m. to 120,000 Baht/Sq.m. at the moment. Similar to Canapaya Residence, where the unit prices have also shifted higher by 35-40%, or from 170,000 to 230,000 Baht/Sq.m.
If you look for leasing a unit out, there might be insufficient demand in the market due to its high starting price at 19 MB (for the unit 155 Sq.m.). Buyers would invest for residential purposes, in general. But if you’re still considering to make an investment from it, the average rent price for residences beside Chao Phraya River is at 700-800 Baht/Sq.m., equals to 20,000-24,000 Baht/Month for the unit size 30 Sq.m.
In the past couple of years, unit prices in the residences beside Chao Phraya River are getting close to those in CBD. Now the starting price ranges between 170,000-230,000 Baht/Sq.m., while those in CBD range from 200,000-250,000 Baht/Sq.m. Higher demands for residences beside Chao Phraya River is presumed, as units in CBD will be overpriced and some target buyers do not need public transits to always be a 3-minute walk to reach. This is what The Pano offers, not extremely close but easy access to CBD, lower unit prices by 25-30% and most importantly, the scenic view of Chao Phraya River where people in Sukhumvit could not find.
