Thonglor’s flair can be acclaimed as the Beverly Hills of Thailand. It’s the epicenter of lifestyle amenities, comprising upscale restaurants, community malls, fashions and night-life vibrancy. It’s also the most aspired location for both investment and living, where land price surges each year and luxury condominiums debut with average price above the market benchmark.
Thonglor which we are mentioning is Sukhumvit 55 Alley, a stretch of road between Sukhumvit Road and Phetchaburi Road. Besides a great number of lifestyle places, public utilities are as well highly existed including hospitals, police station and hypermarket for grocery shopping. The road also has several alleys on the sides and a few of them are connected to Ekkamai Road.
Land prices along Sukhumvit 55, or Thonglor Alley, range from 1.5 to 2.2 million baht per square wah; and the closer distance to Sukhumvit Road, the more value that land parcel is priced. As a matter of fact, land parcels along Sukhumvit 55 are running towards the shortage, contrasting to the demand that is overwhelmed, resulted in the minimum starting price of 300,000 baht per square metres among the luxury condominiums here.
For investment, this high-end enclave is dense with residential demand from both locals and foreigners. A great number of Japanese dwell here by renting a residence, while many purchase their own unit to live in long-term. Likewise, leasing a unit or resale in the future are easily achieved here, the territory where everyone dreams to conquer.

The Bangkok Thonglor is located around Thonglor 1 Alley, an initial part of Sukhumvit 55 from Sukhumvit Road. The project will be approximately 300 m. from BTS Thong Lo, a walkable distance for those who need to commute by the skytrain. This initial part of the road is also less crowded compared to the centre of the road where numerous lifestyle places nestled in.
