The Monument Thong Lo Review: A Luxury Pet-friendly hideout in Thonglor!
Hello and welcome back to PropertyScout! Today we will show you The Monument Thong Lo, an exquisite property located in the prestigious Thong Lo area. What makes this project special is it's a pet-friendly project. This feature is quite rare in the Thong Lo area, which is known for its high property prices per square meter. Now, let's delve in!
Location
The Monument Thong Lo, as the name suggests, is a condo project excellently located in Thonglor area. Here, you will have access to a multitude of amenities ranging from restaurants, stores, lifestyle hubs, and many more. All of this makes Sukhumvit soi 55 full of hustle and bustle as the soi that never sleeps. Due to its location further back in soi 55, the project offers you greater peacefulness and privacy in comparison to living closer to the opening of the soi.
You can access this project via the Phetchaburi or Sukhumvit road, as the Thonglor soi connects these two roads together. You can also access Ekkamai and Phrom Phong from here.
Accessibility
By Car
As stated above, you have the option of taking either the Sukhumvit road or the Phetchaburi road. We recommend, though, that Phetchaburi road is the easier route to take due to its closer proximity. It's also a good idea to exercise caution when turning, as this project is located near the bridge connecting Thonglor road to Phetchaburi road.
Public Transportation
- BTS: Approximately 1.6m away from BTS Thonglor station.
- Taxis and Motorcycles: You can use a driver pickup request service from apps such as Line Man or GRAB.

The Monument Thong Lo is a luxurious condominium project from renowned developer Sansiri, who you may recognize from various well-known projects. This project offers various styles and prices to suit different lifestyles.

As for the facilities, the spaciousness creates a welcoming atmosphere, akin to a living room, with the second floor space serving as an extension of the area.
The residential units start with two-bedroom layouts, with each space designed to accommodate various functions and activities of daily life. There are two types of rooms to choose from: one with a balcony connected to the living room and one with a kitchen featuring a central counter.
The three-bedroom units offer a sense of privacy you'd expect from staying at home. Upon entry, you'll encounter a spacious central foyer that can be transformed into a semi-outdoor area, allowing for natural ventilation and connections to various spaces, creating a homely atmosphere. Additionally, the bedrooms are also connected to the large central foyer, enabling natural air intake.
