Location
Going south along Rajdamri road from Pra Tu Nam junction, a driver can make all the possible stops at Platinum for going shopping at wholesale prices, Central World, or an upcoming public park for leisure activities. If continue along the road through Ratchaprasong intersection, one shall gain an access to Intercontinental Hotel, Grand Hyatt Erawan Hotel, and Renaissance Hotel. But if earlier the person took the left at the intersection onto Ploenchit road instead of continuing Rajdamri road, he or she can go shopping at Gaysorn Plaza, Central Embassy and Central Chidlom, and if taking the right on Rama I road, he or she would come by Central World, Zen, Siam Paragon and such. To go on Witthayu road, he or she drives along Ploenchit road and simply takes the right at the Ploenchit intersection onto Witthayu road, or makes a right onto Lung Suan road just before reaching Ploenchit intersection and goes down the road and makes a left onto Soi Sarasin in order to get out onto Witthayu road.
In the upcoming season, there will be an exquisite vibrant city park to be settled near Central World, sided by Isetan, and occupies 40 rais of land alongside currently constructed roads. This park will be settled on what used to be a royal domain under the name of Pathumwanurak, bestowed by her royal highness princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn. It is 400 metre from where Q Chidlom condominium is located. Additional nearby highlights are Platinum, RSU international hospital, (upcoming) Makkasan Complex, King Place Market and so forth.
There are 2 existing transit lines passing by Q Chidlom consisting of the green line and airport rail link. The green line has its station, Chidlom station, lying 650 metres from the condo on the south, while the airport rail link’s closet station is Ratchaprarop station situated 400 metres from the condo on the north. The upcoming orange line will have one of its serviceable stations, Ratchaprarop station near to the condo as only 250 metre away. In the future, Makkasan Complex will be established close to Q Chidlom, augmenting the attraction of Makkasan sub-district with its complementarily integrated green space & commercial zone, which in turn will enormously benefit the condo in terms of the incremental demand.
Getting There
- Public Transit: Currently there is only BTS skytrain available but in the future point of time, MRT will be extended to serve passengers living in Makkasan.
BTS: Take BTS from the nearest station to Chidlom station. After exiting the station, walk north on Chidlom road past Central Embassy to the intersection with Phetchaburi road, then make a left. Ideo Q Chidlom is located on the left.

Analysis
Ananda Development decided to establish Q Chidlom Phetchaburi almost on the edge of Makkasan sub-district for it gains wider accesses to more roads and destinations, which can be exemplified with Ratchaprasong, Chidlom, Sathorn, Victory Monument, and so on. Any locations regardless of their physical address can be reached from the condominium by BTS, Airport Rail Link, and MRT with ease. Given the current situation, the per-unit prices of Q Chidlom are gradually increasing in parallel with its climbing rate of selling out units. In terms of living perspective, this condominium is an excellent home with an extensive range of amenities offered by the condo and elsewhere. But from a possible perspective of investor or like-minded, it might not be anything quite like short-term investments given the slow increment in the condo prices. Even though a prospective opportunity doesn’t appear in the foreground, the immense one foreshadows over the long haul. The possibility is reaffirmed by the forthcoming emergence of great Makkasan complex to garner great attractions. The current rent prices of nearby properties range THB 20,000-50,000 a month and yield denotes an annual 6.5 percent, according to the review of Ideo Q Ratchathewi.
Nearby Condos
- The Line
The Line Phetchaburi by Sansiri and its co-investor BTS is located on Petchburi 18, spanning over 1.5 rais of land.

Summary
Q Chidlom Petchburi is an excellent portrait of how the future home should look and work. Through its futuristic-based design, every fabric of unit is enriched with the kind of luxury and extravagance that could not be seen anywhere else in the contemporary age. Q Chit Lom would never betray the householders’ expectation for it is surrounded by all the greatest amenities the city offers and about to be connected to the Makkasan Complex, the upcoming central greenery of our hectic city. Q Chit Lom Petchburi is awaiting an approval from EIA.
