On the opposite side, from Ratchadaphisek Road, you need to turn right at Rama IX Junction and take Chaturathit Road to reach the project instead as shown in the picture
MRT
Both MRT Phra Ram 9 and MRT Phetchaburi are practical means to reach the project, but MRT Phra Ram 9 has a shorter walking distance at 450 metres or 6-minute walk, compared to MRT Phetchaburi which takes around 600 metres or 8-minute walk. However, both passages have several crossroads that you need to take, so be cautious to cross the roads as there is no traffic light for walking people; the safety way is to follow the local crowds.

Chewathai Residence Asoke’s outstanding point is their residential units which have the ceiling height up to 3.6 metres; however, the bedroom’s ceiling on the mezzanine might give a confined feeling for some residents, especially if you are tall. Though the project is located on a high-traffic area that may cause some noise pollutions, this drawback is compensated with the proximity of myriad lifestyle amenities and forthcoming megaprojects, including the Super Tower which will be the landmark and tallest edifice of Thailand. There are two public transits in the vicinity, MRT Phetchaburi and MRT Phra Ram 9, where the latter one is a little closer. This project suits more with urbanites who work in the city, not those who seek absolute serenity. Meantime, 70% of residential units are sold, and both residential and investment purposes are practical here.
