Why Sathorn?

Sathorn district stretches from the Chao Phraya River north to Lumphini Park. This modern, trendy district is popular with locals and foreigners alike, thanks to the wealth of amenities, services and facilities located there. Although centred around Bangkok’s business and commercial hub, the area feels miles away from the hustle and bustle of more touristy, hipster and party-centric areas of the city like Thonglor, Phrakanong, Ari, Chidlom and Phayathai.

Sathorn is more of an old soul, mixing traditional elements with modern flourishes. As this beloved neighbourhood has matured over the years, a more sophisticated and discerning clientele has taken up residence. Of course, it has kept pace with the times and the area is replete with many upmarket bars, restaurants, cafes, galleries and shops; along with everyday conveniences like supermarkets, 7/11 stores, banks, gyms, cinemas and malls at your disposal too. Not to mention that the city’s largest green space – Lumphini – is right on your doorstep and perfect for restorative R&R.

The other appealing aspect of living in Sathorn is that the main thoroughfares of the area allows for easy navigation across the city, not to mention that the BTS Skytrain is right on your doorstep. You’ll also be based close to the river, allowing easy access to all the hip and fun hangouts that have opened-up along both banks of the river, such as IconSiam, Asiatique, Warehouse 30, Baan Rim Naam, Loong 1919, Jam Factory. In addition, a short ferry ride will take you over to Bangkrachao, aka the “Green Lung”, the city’s oasis for bike riding and picnicking.

Why Serviced?

A serviced apartment in Sathorn is quickly becoming the preferred choice of accommodation as an alternative to hotels and long-stay condos, here’s why:

Affordable

If you’re staying at the hotel and need to do your laundry, you’ll need to pay extra for the service. If you want to eat in the room, you’ll need to order room service. The costs of these small things add up. If you stay in a condo/apartment, it gets worse, as you’ll need to buy kitchenware, linens, furniture and often whitegoods too!

Flexible

With a serviced apartment, you have the option of staying one night, one week, one month or one year. They offer a lot of flexibility without contracts and deposits. And generally, the longer you reside, the cheaper it gets.

Spacious

Serviced apartments have plenty of space to move about, they are not cramped like boxy hotel rooms. Aside from the master bedroom, there’s often a second bedroom, living room, bathroom(s) and laundry/kitchen as well. Most will also have excellent on-site facilities, even more so than a hotel, such as a gym, pool, sauna, library, kid’s play area, 24-hour security, convenience store and so on.

Convenient

If you are relocating to a new city, a serviced apartment can be used as a relaxed home-away-from-home base. At the same time, you take your time to get to know the city and find suitable accommodation in the neighbourhood that suits your lifestyle.
