Siamese Surawong is a 20-storey condominium with 77 residential units located on all sides of the architecture. The project focuses more on the utilities rather than just the beauty of the building. As a result, the architectural design comes in the feel of free expression, not rigid symmetrical shape; and all floor plans are distinctive and dimensional. The residence has also brought the charisma of this traditional area as an iconic design of the project, which are the moon-shape windows that enable residents to enjoy the vistas, and allow natural lights to come in and create an airy sense of the habitation.

There are two types to choose, Premier and Privilege. The materials used in the Premier type are mostly from Granito, while the Privilege type will grant you premium materials such as wall and flooring of marble; however, it requires additional 20,000 Baht/Sq.m.

Siamese Surawong is situated on Sap Road, 650 metres away from Sam Yan MRT Station. Sap Road is the passage that links Surawong and Si Phraya roads together, and most metropolitans use it as a route to reach Rama IV Road from Silom or Sathorn, and vice versa. Comparing to the ambiance of Silom Road, the atmosphere around project’s location remains much more quiet. Mostly, you will find high-rise luxury projects due to the potential of Silom that spreads to surrounding areas. To demonstrate, land prices in Silom have climbed from 550,000 to over 1 MB/ Sq.w. at the moment. This area will become even more vibrant and prosperous due to the mega projects such as MahaNakhon and Ashton Silom.
Bird’s-eye view of the project’s location
Surawong Road comprises of hotels to accommodate locals and foreigners
Soi Tantawan is one of the alleys that links Surawong Road and Silom Road
Silom Road, one of the vital business hubs of the nation
On Si Phraya Road with Rama IV Road ahead. It’s Sam Yan Junction ahead, in the picture, where there are Sam Yan MRT and Chamchuri Square
Sathorn-Narathiwat Junction, CBD of Bangkok with the composition of leading workplaces
Surawong Road also connects to Charoen Krung Road, the historical area beside Chao Phraya Rive
Getting There
At Chong Nonsi BTS Station, on Naradhiwas Rajanagarindra Rd.
Go straight towards Silom-Narathiwas Junction
Go straight passing the junction to Surawong Rd
At the T-Junction, turn right into Surawong Rd.
Then turn left at the first intersection, which is Sap Road
The project will be on your right hand side
The opposite side is the Russian Embassy near Santiphap Alley

Lifestyle Amenities
1. Too Fast Too Sleep
From the project to Too Fast To Sleep, take Surawong Road instead of Si Phraya Road, so you won’t have to make a U-Turn
2. Chamchuri Park
Chamchuri Park is situated opposite to Chamchuri Square
Through observation, the average rent price of project’s competitor, The Bangkok from Land and House, ranges at 33,000 – 35,000 Baht/Month. As Siamese Surawong is a new launched project, the average rent price has a potential to fetch higher by 100 Baht/Sq.m., or equivalent to 17,000 Baht/Month for the unit size 34 Sq.m. The prospective buyers would be more of local people rather than foreigners especially Japanese. Those foreigners who come to work in Thailand with residential funding, often look for residences with 200-300 distances to public transits; while a lot of locals are seeking more of a high-privacy residence instead. Nevertheless, Siamese Surawong is situated about 500 metres away from Sam Yan MRT Station. In general, land prices in CBD surge higher every year by 10-14%, and certainly, the project’s location will be affected positively as Silom is just a couple kilometres away. Meanwhile, land prices in midtown surge less with only 4-5% annual growth.
