Overview
Bangkok is dozens of condo clusters along metro lines. Sukhumvit (east) — main international corridor: Asoke, Phrom Phong, Thong Lor, Ekkamai. Sathorn (centre-south) — financial district, premium near the CBD. Old City and Riverside — historic and cultural zone.
Bangkok 2026 main rule: walking distance to BTS/MRT. Condos within 5 minutes of a station keep growing; condos at 15 minutes stagnate or fall. Post-COVID buyers value convenience and reduced taxi dependence.
Foreigners buy mainly as long-term investments: capital growth 3-5% a year, yield 3-5%. Total return 6-10% USD — stable. Not Phuket's 8-10%, but lower risk.
