Ideo Mobi Wongsawang – Interchange is located on Krungthep-Nonthaburi Rd, in Krungthep-Nonthaburi 23 Alley. The distinctive point of the project’s location is the upcoming Bang Son Station of MRT Purple Line, which will be located 11 m. or just a footstep away. The MRT Purple Line will be officially operated in August this year and it will have a tremendous impact for the convenience of population in this area.
To demonstrate, in the future, Bang Son Station itself will be an interchange station to the SRT Red Line; and Tao Pun Station, one stop away, is another interchange to the MRT Blue Line. Furthermore, there will be a skywalk from the project’s location to Bang Sue Station, which is the grand interchange point between forthcoming 4 transit routes including SRT Red Line, SRT Dark Red Line, MRT Blue Line and Airport Rail Link which can lead you to Suvarnabhumi Airport.
The impact from the MRT Purple Line may not be as high as the Green Line of Sukhumvit area, but the land price of this location has increased by 6-7% from last year, staying around 150,000-170,000 Baht/Sq.w. at the moment. Significantly, the starting price of Ideo Mobi Wongsawang – Interchange has surged by 300,000 Baht since the debut date a few years ago.
If you own personal vehicles, this location is accessible to several routes as well. To reach the suburban area, you can turn left from the project’s entrance, go straight upward and turn left at Wonsawang Junction, you will find Rama VII Bridge ahead to cross to the suburban area. But if you turn right at the junction, you will be entering Ratchadaphisek Rd which has a passage leading to Sirat Expressway, by turning left at the first junction of the road. On the other hand, if you drive downward, which you have to make a U-Turn, there are several important places that you can reach such as Victory Monument, Siam, and Ratchadamnoen Rd.
The project’s location also comprises street eateries and some workplaces with the reputable one of SCG Headquarter. However, the project provides a 24-hour convenient store “Max Valu” in the residence area, which would facilitate those whom preferred to stay more at the retreat.

Ideo Mobi Wongsawang – Interchange has its strength in the nearby. Bang Son Station, which is one stop away from Bang Sue Grand Station. Likewise, the starting price is slightly higher than other condominiums in this district.

In terms of land price, this area has 6-7% growth rate per year; thus, resale a unit is also a practical choice. All in all, the project is suitable for those who appreciate the convenience of nearby public transit, especially working people with the salary around 50,000 Baht/Month, who can afford 16,000-30,000 Baht installment per month.

Ideo Mobi Wongsawang – Interchange is the high-rise condominium project with closest distance to a public transit, “Bang Son Station,” at just 11 metre away. In other word, the transportation convenience is right there at your site. Furthermore, the station itself will be the interchange station to the future SRT Red Line; and just one stop away at Bang Sue Station, is the future grand interchange point between 4 mass transit routes. Likewise, the starting price is slightly higher than other projects at 2.89 MB or 120,000 Baht/Sq.m. However, the price is still worthwhile for a long-term investment because the MRT Purple Line, that will be officially operating in August, will attract more developments in this area and eventually boost up the project’s value; however, the excessive number of condominium supplies can diminish this impact. Although the close distance of a public transit has been the trademark of Ananda’s condominiums, the residence still offers parking for those with personal cars at 36% lots of the total unit. The project also offers an in-site 24-hour convenient store “Max Valu,” along the comprehensive amenities such as the Triple Sky Facilities that one would certainly appreciate.
