New homey-nieghborhood with such an affordable price

Ratchayothin is a familiar neighborhood of northern Bangkok. When mentioned about this area, most people must think of big named shopping malls as Central Plaza LadPrao or Major Cineplex Ratchayothin. Time passed by with the extension of BTS Sukhumvit lines, Ratchayothin now has the station of its own as Ratchayothin BTS station which is definitely going to attract more people to the neighborhood. 

Get to know the Ratchayothin neighborhood 

Ratchayothin was well known in the past as a local area for a living with only two major shopping malls in the area and still no connection of skytrain or subway line. Besides Central Plaza LadPrao being a main attraction of this district, there is still not much property development going on in the area. However, Ratchayothin is connected to both Phaholyothin and Ratchadapisek roads. That being said, it is slowly getting more popular among Bangkok northerners. 

On top of the extension of the BTS line that leads to Ratchayothin station and continues further until the outskirts of Bangkok, we are going to see a lot more residential projects and mixed-use buildings in the future here.
