Nowadays, Thonglor is recognised as the hippest street in Bangkok, where an eclectic range of premium bars and restaurants continues to deliver one-of-a-kind experiences for the crowds. Back in 1930s, Thonglor once served as a military base for Japanese, still, this road portrays their dominance through numerous Japanese-style dining places in the present days. The name “Thonglor” was given after a famous vice admiral of Thai Navy, who played a pivotal role in Thailand’s political history, and the name has been used for almost a century.
Geographically, Thonglor Road, or Sukhumvit 55, is a thoroughfare between Sukhumvit Road and Phetchaburi Road. Though stretching only 2.5 kilometres long, the road composes ample community malls and shopping venues to be endlessly explored. Besides, there are two international hospitals, Camillian Hospital and Samitivej Sukhumvit Hospital, available closely to all residents in the neighborhood.
In the scope of real estate industry, Thonglor’s land prices have surged by 20-30 per cent in the past few years, appraised at 420,000 baht per square wah by The Treasury Department for the moment. However, the actual selling prices, especially land plots close to Sukhumvit Road, are reaching extreme figures at THB 1.3-1.6 million per square wah. In terms of residential developments, the average price is between THB 250,000 – 300,000 per square metre, remaining one of the most expensive locations to buy properties in Thailand. Thonglor’s elegance always entices developers to have a residential project in its affluent sphere, but only the unrivalled ones can do; and here is the list of those who qualify for the year 2017.
