Location
Lumpini Suite Phetchaburi – Makkasan is located on Phetchaburi Road, a hundred metres from Mit Sampan Junction. The closest public transit is MRT Phetchaburi which is located around 850 metres away at Phetchaburi – Asok Junction. Another close mass transit is Airport Link Makkasan Station, a skytrain which links to BTS Green Line and Suvarnabhumi Airport. If you take highway on a daily basis, Chalerm Maha Nakhon Expressway’s ingress is around 400 metres away from Mit Sampan Junction; you can arrive on Sathorn Road or Chatuchak district from the expressway. To reach Sukhumvit Road, you can take Sukhumvit 3 (Soi Nana Nua) at Mit Sampan Junction, or Asok Montri Road at Asok – Phetchaburi Junction. In addition, Sukhumvit 3 also has a boat express than travels along Saen Saep Canal.
Makkasan Green Space
A vast greenery expanse beside the Airport Rail Link is soon to become the new complex of public park, train museum and commercial area. The total area of 497 rai will be built as museum for 30 rai, public park for 150 rai, and the rest for commercial purpose. However, the project is pending for authority’s approval at the moment. When completed, it will create immeasuable values for the location as well as real estate and tourism sectors of Thailand. On the other hand, it will comes with the expense of deforestation which will reduce purification of Bangkokians’ air.

Analysis
Properties on Petchaburi Road are priced in many ranges; those located close to Asok-Petchaburi Junction are usually priced the highest as it’s a strategic hub with many upcoming mega projects. Lumpini Suite Petchaburi – Makkasan, despite being located closer to Mit Sampan Junction, is still promising for the price leap, regards the nearby government project of Makkasan green space which will be a huge transformation to the area. As a result, the project suits for investors with limited budget, but aspire for the project with bright future. Limited land supplies on central Sukhumvit Road is another factor that will push residential demand in this location higher.

Summary
L.P.N. Development’s strength is its trustworthy management system, which translates as minial errors thoughout the process of buying a unit here. Though the project is within the range of many mass transits, each one has a tough distance to reach by walk. However, the project offers a shuttle bus service to and fro the ARL Makkasan Station for the convenience. For lifestyle places, you might need to travel slightly further to Sukhumvit Road or Rama IX Junction, whether via a mass transit or personal vehicle. Nonetheless, if you need to go back to the home country often, the project would be ideal regarding the shuttle bus service to Makkasan Station which links to Suvarnabhumi Airport. In spite of being located on Phetchaburi Road where property developments increase significantly in the recent years, the project’s price is still low as this part of Phetchaburi Road is still absent of new developments. In sum, the project suits foreigners with limited budget, whom need to travel abroad through time.
