The location is also set adjacent to many important Bangkok’s roads – Rama 9, Asoke, Chidlom and Pratunam. According to a geographic survey, it has been found that there are many residential projects, which see promise of the land as well, waiting to be launched nearby MRT’s Phetchaburi station. Circle 2 Living Prototype distinguishes itself from the oversupplied zone by establishing its foot at the area where residents still can easily get an access to mass transit. And with the prospective projects from the government at Makkasan Park, promise and blossoming possibilities will be enhanced, driving prices up in the future.

So, you can find the equal quality at 140,000 baht as a starting price. Yearly fee for communal areas is set at a very low rate, just 40 baht per square meter, relative to others’.
