Following the grandiose and glitzy launch of “Icon Siam”, dubbed Bangkok’s most luxurious (…and expensive) mixed-use luxury mall; the Bangkok Riverside lifestyle has been propelled into the spotlight, attaining new levels of hype and appeal!
Brimming with culture and history, the banks of the Chao Phraya has maintained its majestic and nostalgic retro-chic environment. Traditionally the riverside, attracted old-fashioned and weary city dwellers looking for an escape from Bangkok’s urban and hectic environment.
However, this quaint charm is giving way to a fresher and trendier image with some predicting its eventual transformation into one of Bangkok’s ultra-prime addresses.
This section of the Riverside is transforming into a luxury address and could possibly become the next Central Business District. Asiatique and ICONSIAM are key drivers of gentrification of the neighborhood.
Interestingly, a collection of commercial, residential developments, and mass transit extensions especially along Charoen Krung and Charoen Nakhon Road are reshaping and regenerating the area!
Giving rise, to some of the most exquisite and awe-inspiring luxury residences in Bangkok…
Let’s explore 5 of these residential luxury gems:
