From a former Owner — “A Life Above Phra Kanong”

I bought this condo during a strange chapter in my life. 

The city was overwhelming — too loud, too fast, too relentless. Work had picked up pace, and I found myself bouncing between hotels and temporary apartments. I needed something stable. Something still. I didn't know it at the time, but this small, clean 60-square-meter apartment on the 19th floor would become one of the most grounding places I’d ever live in.

It wasn't the size that got me — it was the feel. The way the light filtered through the curtains in the morning. The view — high enough to see the city breathe, low enough to still feel human. There was a softness to the air here, even when the city below was moving at full speed.

Every morning began with ritual. Coffee from the same ceramic mug, always by the window. I’d watch the early-morning haze settle over the skyline, cranes stretching toward the sun like dancers just waking up. From this height, Bangkok doesn’t roar — it hums. The Phra Khanong BTS station, just six minutes away by foot, became a part of my daily rhythm. That short walk, through the tucked-away peace of Sukhumvit 48, helped me decompress before I even boarded the train.

Inside, the unit was perfectly functional. Two bedrooms — one for me, and one that evolved over time. Guest room. Home office. Reading nook. Briefly a yoga studio during lockdown. The kitchen was just right: built-in appliances, easy to keep clean, with a quiet dignity to it. It wasn’t trying to be flashy. It just worked. And in Bangkok, where excess is everywhere, that simplicity became its own kind of luxury.

Over the years, I came to understand what made this apartment so special. It’s not about high design or dramatic features. It’s about balance. It’s about having your own bubble of peace just steps away from life’s noise. I could walk to W District on a Friday night — drink craft beers, eat ramen, laugh with friends — and then be home before the night turned heavy. On Saturdays, I’d go to On Nut market and pick up produce. Sunday afternoons were for naps and playlists, sunlight on the couch and time moving slowly.

This place has seen me at my most tired, and my most inspired. It held me when things were difficult. It hosted friends when things were joyful. I’ve seen lightning storms over the city from that balcony. I’ve stayed up until 2 a.m. writing emails with the lights of Rama IV stretching into the distance like arteries. I’ve been still here.

Now it’s someone else’s turn.

This condo is ready for its next chapter. Maybe it’ll be a first home. A remote work base. A long-term investment. Or simply a safe, quiet place to land after the chaos of the day. Whatever you need — this space can adapt.

Because sometimes, what we really want isn’t size or status. It’s light. Air. Silence. Clarity. And from this 19th floor, I promise — you’ll find all four.

“I Was Built for Quiet Living”

I’m not new. But I’m not tired either. They built me in a time before Sukhumvit 48 was trendy. Before W District became the night spot. Before people realized that Phra Khanong wasn’t just a station — it was a neighborhood. A real neighborhood. The kind where the smell of grilled pork in the morning still floats down the alleys. Where laundromats coexist with wine bars. Where people nod to each other as they pass.

I’ve watched this area rise.

From my ground floor, I’ve seen vendors come and go. New tenants carry in IKEA flat-packs and leave years later with framed memories. I’ve seen young couples become families, and freelancers finally unpack. There’s a rhythm here, slower than Thonglor, more human than Ekkamai. I don’t chase attention. I offer relief.

This unit — 19th floor, full city view — has always attracted a certain kind of resident. Independent. Discerning. Grounded. They don’t want noise, but they’re not escaping the city either. They want proximity without pressure. From my position, I give them both.

I was designed with purpose. My hallways are wide. My lifts are smooth. I don’t overcrowd. My swimming pool isn’t for showing off on Instagram — it’s for that 5:45pm swim after a long workday. My gym is real — weights, mats, quiet. No distractions. My security team has been with me for years. They know who belongs, and who’s visiting. My co-working area has just the right hum of quiet energy. Enough to focus. Not enough to intrude.

There’s an honesty in how I was built. Concrete bones. Earthquake-tested. I’ve held steady through storms and heatwaves. I’ve kept people safe during pandemics and curfews. I don’t pretend to be glamorous. But I know what I am: dependable, peaceful, central.

And I’m proud of the way I sit in the city. Tucked behind the main road, shielded from the rush. But still plugged in — 600 meters from BTS, minutes from expressways, wrapped in markets, shops, and life.

The unit now for sale? It’s special. It’s seen quiet transformations. Small joys. The type that matter more than square meter counts or luxury nameplates. I remember when its current owner first arrived — eyes tired from work, shoulders heavy. And over the months? They softened. Found their own rhythm. That’s what I do.

If you’re looking for a sanctuary — not in the mountains, not by the sea, but in the middle of it all — then maybe I’m what you need. A place to breathe. To focus. To live with a little less rush.

I’m ready when you are.
