A Visit to MahaNakhon

[tomcat]

...a friend who bought 2 condos (and joined them) in this interesting building was invited to an open house event to view the Ritz-Carlton serviced condos and the showrooms set aside for the private condos. He invited several of us to go along on the tour...in a word, it was impressive. As expected, the views from the floor-to-ceiling windows on the higher floors were dramatic in monsoon weather though the city buildings, ugly and unimaginatively designed as most of them are, as well as the muddy river, were less interesting in daylight...BKK from on high is far prettier at night.

Also as expected, the showrooms were nicely decorated, but if you've been to new condo building showrooms in bkk, you'll recognize the style. Generally speaking, far too much marble (except in the maids' rooms), though the areas that had parquet floor tiles appeared more inviting. The pool, fitness and outdoor areas on the 7th floor are beautiful and enhance the aura of exclusivity. The "rest" area on 54 is actually a lobby for the serviced condos and is staffed and provisioned by Dean and DeLuca from The Cube next door. My friend's joined condo (ready in early 2018) is on a corner of the 65th floor. I estimate he and his partner paid between USD6-8 million for approximately 390 sqm of heaven.

So, a glimpse of how the other half intends to live.

I really do not like that building. It looks like it has been strafed multiple times and will fall over in the next big wind.

^that thought occurred to me as I stood on a cantilevered deck on the 57th floor...somehow, I survived...

Great forum here for everything you want to know on the build and prices.

Great pics.

Keen to buy a couple of units, I hope the management are happy with a 533 year payment plan.

^the maids' quarters looked comfy...none of that annoying daylight to darken the skin...

Did you ever post a picture of anything? A Wikipedia article.... seriously?

Is the building going to be 80% empty like the most buildings in Bangkok? Just asking because a similar sized unit in Ritz Carlton Toronto on 47th floor is being sold for 3 million Canadian.

^hi buddahas..


That building is in my avatar. I could see it from the rooftop pool of the Mercure Hotel in Siam...
Thanks for the information TC.. I was wondering what the building was. It looks like it was made with lego bricks. I like looking at the extravagant/luxurious way people live. .
