Watermark Chaophraya River

Watermark Chaophraya River stands in the Riverside district of Bangkok, directly on the Chao Phraya River. The neighbourhood is also known as Khlong San. The apartments here face the river, the city, a park and greenery, so a buyer gets water views while staying inside the city. This is a good fit for people who want a riverside home and still need to move around Bangkok easily.

For daily travel, the building has a private shuttle boat that runs to the Saphan Taksin BTS station and to Asiatique. No distances or travel times are given, so the useful point is the type of connection: a boat ride instead of a road trip. For residents who use the BTS every day, this gives a simple link between the river and the city's elevated train network.

The project was built by Major Development and completed in 2008. It has 52 floors and 2 buildings. It is a mature development on the Bangkok resale market, not a new launch. The height of the towers means many apartments sit high above the river, which is where the views come from. The building has an established character and a long history behind it.

Facilities include the shuttle boat, parking and, for some top-floor apartments, access to a 100 sq m rooftop area. This rooftop is a common area, so its use is covered by the common fee. It gives residents extra outdoor space beyond their own apartment, which is useful in a dense city where private outdoor space is limited.

There is one apartment for sale now: a 3 bedroom unit of 265 sq m on the 28th floor. It is fully furnished. The views take in the river, the city, a park and greenery, with panoramic outlooks. The price is THB 35,000,000. The layout is on three levels and the ceilings are high, which gives a lot of room for a family. It is a large home by Bangkok condo standards.

Ownership is freehold, and a foreign freehold quota is available. This matters because foreign buyers can hold condominium apartments in Thailand only within a quota. Buyers should also expect a common fee that covers shared areas, including the rooftop. Because the apartment is fully furnished, it can be used without additional furnishing costs, which simplifies the move for a buyer.
