Have you ever wondered how much space you need to comfortably live, work, or play? The concept of usable area, or the amount of space within a building that can be occupied and utilized, is essential in determining the functionality and livability of a space. One of the most commonly used units of measurement for usable area is the square meter.
So, what exactly does one square meter equal to? In this blog post, we will delve deeper into this topic and explore the different aspects of the square meter as a unit of measurement for usable area. We will discuss its origins, how it compares to other units of measurement, and its practical applications in real estate and interior design. Whether you are a homeowner, a renter, or a professional in the construction or design industry, understanding the concept of usable area and the square meter can help you make informed decisions about the spaces you occupy or create.
Knowing the units and calculation
When buying a residential property, it's important to know the usable area disclosed by the project. The Department of Architecture and City Planning is responsible for overseeing this matter, as well as other related issues. However, understanding the units used in area calculation, such as how many meters are equivalent to one square meter, can also be helpful. This knowledge can enable you to verify whether the usable area in your home matches the disclosed information. In this blog post, we'll discuss the importance of knowing the usable area of a property, and how understanding area calculation units can be beneficial in making informed decisions about your home.
Understanding the units and calculation
There are two primary units used for measuring usable area, square yard and square meters, both of which are used differently.
Square Yard: Land size
Square Meters: Overall usable area size
Rai, Ngarn: Also used for land size
Comparisons:
1 square yard = 4 square meters
1 rai = 4 ngarn = 400 square yard
Example
One detached house resides on 60 square yard of land, to convert to square meters we multiply 60 with 4, which results in 240 square meters. If this detached house is a two-storey house, the usable area size could reach up to 480 square meters.
**Actual usable area might not reach 480 sqm because the second floor usable area size may not be as big as the first floor's.
How to measure and calculate
Now that we understand the different units used in area calculation, let's move on to the calculation method. All we need is a tape measure to measure the area and calculate it accurately.
How to measure
Measure the area's width and length.
Multiply the width with length (in meters, will result in "square meters").
The "square meters" result can also be converted to square yards.
Land Size Calculation Example
Measure the width
8 meters
Measure the length
25 meters
width X length, 8 X 25
200 square meters
To convert to square yards, divide 200 by 4 (one square yard = 4 square meters)
50 square yards
For large plots of land, a measuring tape may not be practical. Most land is not a perfect square or rectangle, so measuring by length and width may not be accurate. It is best to seek the services of a land surveyor or expert who has the necessary tools and software for automatic area calculation.
House Usable Area Calculation Example
A bedroom is 4 meters wide and 5 meters in length, therefore we multiply 4 by 5, which results in 20 square meters.
How do developers use units to determine prices?
The price of horizontally-built houses can usually be found in allocated projects, where the price is typically given as a total price rather than a price per square meter. For example, a two-story detached house with a land area of 50 square yard and a usable area of 165 square meters may cost 3.5 million baht. It's rare to see the price per square meter or per square yard listed, except when buying allocated land for self-building. In this case, the project will typically offer the land at a price per square yard, such as 60,000 baht per square yard, which would be equivalent to 3.6 million baht for a 60 square yard plot.
Don't forget the Common Fees!
In addition to the house price, the common area cost is another expense that should not be forgotten. The project will calculate the cost based on the area of the house we purchased. Both single-story and multi-story houses will differ in cost as follows:
Low-Rise House Common Fees, calculated based on land size
20 baht common fees/square yard/month, 60 square yard in size
60 x 20 = 1200 baht/month common fee
Make sure to calculate common fees before finalizing a house (or condo) purchase, in addition to installment payments.
Condo Common Fees, calculated based on usable area size in square meters
40 baht common fees/square meters/month, unit is 42 square meters
42 x 40 = 1680 baht/month common fee
Conclusion
So there you have it, the answer to the age-old question of how many meters are in a square meter! Now that we've cleared up any confusion, we can confidently measure and convert areas using the correct units. Whether you're a property owner, a real estate agent, or just a math know-it-all, understanding the concept of square meters is crucial in determining the actual usable space of a property. And if you're not comfortable doing the calculations yourself, don't hesitate to seek the help of professionals who specialize in land measurement. So go ahead and measure your space with confidence, and make sure you're getting the square footage you paid for!

Rayong Attracts Investments in Serviced Apartments as Condo Prices Jump 7% in 5 Years
Property investment expert TERRA BKK has reported on the potentially growing popularity of serviced apartments in Rayong due to high demand and a variety of unit types and amenities, including swimming pools, gyms, regular cleaning, and laundry services.

These findings suggest that foreigners are looking for affordable yet comfortable living spaces, with smaller to mid-sized units being the most desirable.

Phrom Phong, also known as Sukhumvit 39, is a prestigious area in Bangkok situated in the Khlong Tan Nuea and Khlong Tan sub-districts of Wattana District. Over the years, it has transformed from an old community into a modern hub of luxury and convenience, infused with a blend of cultures. With its reputation as one of the most expensive areas in Bangkok, it has become a significant business district and an important part of the city's transportation network. In this blog post, we will explore the fascinating history of Phrom Phong and delve into the interesting features that make it a must-visit destination in Bangkok.
Getting to know Phrom Phong
Phrom Phong, an area in Bangkok, is famous for The Em District, a world-class retail complex situated near the BTS Phrom Phong station. This complex consists of three projects, namely The Emporium, The EmQuartier, and The EmSphere, that offer a wide range of high-end global brands. Besides the luxurious shopping malls, Phrom Phong is also recognized for its residential area, which has become a popular choice among many foreigners.
The community's way of life in old Phrom Phong blends perfectly with the neighborhood's modern amenities, creating a serene and organized environment that provides a surprisingly comfortable experience amid the city's bustling vibe. As a result, Phrom Phong has earned the moniker of "Miniature Japan."
Formerly "Bangkapi Field"
The now-modern neighborhood Phrom Phong was once a vast field akin to that of various areas in Bangkok known as "Bangkapi Field", covering the Sukhumvit area all the way to the present-day Bangkapi area. In 1936, the first road, Sukhumvit Road, was opened, and communities started to settle along the road, making the land on the west side of Bangkok more valuable than the Bangkapi field. Thus, high-ranking officials, wealthy families, and members of the royal family, such as Princess Ploenchit, started to buy and collect land in the area, and the name "Phrom Phong" came from her name.
In 1942, the Department of Meteorology was established, and the Bangkok Science Center was created in what is now Benjasiri Park. Later, a bridge was built across Khlong Saen Saep to connect with Phetchaburi Road, making transportation more convenient. In 1992, the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration opened a 28-rai (44800 sqm.) public park for people to exercise and relax, called Benjasiri Park. Five years later, The Mall Group built Emporium, a luxury shopping mall, and in 1999, the BTS Skytrain was opened, with the Phrom Phong station being a starting point for the development of the area. As a result, the location has attracted real estate investors, and Phrom Phong has become a trendy, modern neighborhood in Bangkok.
Phrom Phong in the Present Day
Phrom Phong is a highly coveted area in Bangkok, known for its upscale shopping experience boasting more than 400 international brand names. The neighborhood is also home to luxurious residential areas, cozy cafes, and Japanese restaurant complexes. The area is heavily populated by Japanese residents, earning it the nickname "Little Japan" among locals.
However, due to the area's popularity and the majority of the prime real estate already being owned and developed, it is anticipated that finding real estate in this area will become increasingly challenging in the future. New residential developments are expected to spring up along the side streets, such as Sukhumvit 39, Sukhumvit 24, and Sukhumvit 26, which are further away from the Phrom Phong BTS station.
Known amenities in Phrom Phong
Phrom Phong, located in the heart of the city, provides a comprehensive urban lifestyle with a wide range of amenities. From luxury shopping to local markets, there is something for everyone. Moreover, the area is dotted with numerous places to unwind, and it has a diverse population of Thai and foreign residents.

Accessibility
During rush hour, traffic in the Phrom Phong area can become heavily congested due to Sukhumvit Road being a primary route for people commuting to and from the city center. This includes travel between Ramkhamhaeng and Siam or Samrong and Sathorn. Phrom Phong is situated in the middle of various economically significant areas, resulting in significant car traffic. As a result, public transportation or smaller vehicles such as motorcycles or Grab bikes are more convenient for travel.
Skytrain System (opening hours: 6am-midnight): BTS Phrom Phong station is located between Thonglor and Asok stations. You also have the option to use the MRT (opening hours: 5:30-midnight) Sukhumvit station nearby BTS Asok station.
Personal Car: If you plan on driving to the Phrom Phong area, you can take Sukhumvit Road as your main route. Soi Sukhumvit 39, Soi Sukhumvit 24, and Asoke Road are also available and can connect you to other roads like Phetchaburi Road, Rama IV Road, and Ratchadaphisek Road. The nearest expressway to the area is the Chalerm Maha Nakhon Expressway, which is located south of Khlong Toei district and adjacent to the Lumphini neighborhood.
Buses: There are four main bus stops serving the Phrom Phong area, including the entrance of Benjasiri Park, the mouth of Soi Sukhumvit 24, and at the BTS Phrom Phong station. Buses run along various routes both into and out of the city. The following are the main bus lines for accessing Phrom Phong:
Bus 2: Samrong-Pak Khlong Tarad
Bus 25: Praeksa Terminal-Bhor Din-Ta Chang
Bus 38: Chandrakasem Rajabhat University-Ramkhamhaeng College
Bus 40: Bangkok Bus Terminal (Borommaratchachonnani)-Lamsalee Market
Bus 48: Ramkhamhaeng University-Wat Phra Chetuphon
Bus 98: Huaikwang-Kluai Namthai
Bus 501: Suan Siam Bus Terminal-Hua Lamphong
Bus 508: Phaknam-Ratchaworadit Pier
Pickup Truck: A small 4-wheel vehicle that can accommodate about 5-6 people. The service point is located at the mouth of Phrom Phong alley and operates on a time schedule. The fare is based on distance, starting from 10 baht. The service can be used individually or as a group.
Motorcycle: Motorcycle services are abundant throughout the soi openings such as BTS Phrom Phong station, Sukhumvit soi 24 opening, Sukhumvit soi 33 opening, or Sukhumvit soi 39 opening (K Village). The fare is based on distance, starting from 10-20 baht. However, during rush hour, there may be a shortage of available vehicles, so it is advisable to allow extra time for calling a vehicle.
Boat: The closest pier to the Phrom Phong district is the Italthai pier, which serves express boats for Khlong Saen Saeb and the Chao Phraya River. The route starts from Wat Sri Bun Rueang and ends at the pier near the Phan Fa Lilat Bridge. The fare ranges from 8 to 18 baht, and is subject to change. To get to the pier, one can drive along Sukhumvit 39 before crossing Phetchaburi Road, where the Italthai Tower and the pier are located.
Not included is an additional method of transportation, the van service. If you would like to take a van to another province, use the "Ekamai Bus Terminal", which is the nearest pick-up and drop-off point for vans. For short-distance travel, most people in the Phrom Phong area use motorcycle taxis or tuk-tuks as a primary transportation method due to flexibility, speed, and convenience. However, if the distance is more than 3 kilometers, BTS Phrom Phong station or just driving is preferred generally.
Future
Despite almost the entirety of Phrom Phong area being developed into residential projects and shopping malls, it is still just the area of alleyways like the nearby neighborhoods of Thonglor and Ekamai. Phrom Phong can still be developed, especially in the deep alleys, and it is certain that the prices of new projects in the Phrom Phong area will not differ much.
The reason for this is because the area has been designated as a luxurious and expensive district. With the increasing number of new train lines being added in the future, such as the Gray Line and Pink Line, this will further push up the prices of properties in the area.
Therefore, it can be assumed that Phrom Phong will continue to be a worthwhile investment in the future, based on the reasoning behind the land price trends in 2022 according to the Thai Real Estate Research and Valuation Center, which will be discussed in the next topic.
Current prices in Phrom Phong
The Thai Real Estate Research and Valuation Center has recently released information regarding the significant increase in land prices in Bangkok by up to 5% since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2022. This has been attributed to the launch of the Yellow Line, connecting Lat Phrao to Samrong in mid-2022, and the Pink Line from Min Buri to Kheha in the third quarter of 2022, resulting in a continuous rise in land prices along the train lines.
This surge in land prices has led to a rise in prices of residential properties, including condominiums, detached houses, townhouses, and rents in the Phrom Phong area. According to AREA data, land prices in the Sukhumvit-Ekkamai area, which encompasses Phrom Phong, have reached a high of 1.7 million baht per square-two meters.
Based on the survey of land prices and rental costs in the Phrom Phong area in the real estate market, the overall price summary of this area can be concluded as follows:

Your land title is an important legal document that proves your ownership of a property. However, accidents can happen and it may get lost or damaged. You might forget it somewhere, it could get damaged from water or fire, or it could possibly get stolen. If this happens to you, don't panic. In this blog post, we'll discuss the steps you should take in order to get a replacement title and protect your ownership rights.
1. Report to the local official
Losing or damaging your land title can be a stressful experience, but the first step towards reclaiming your ownership is to report it to the local official. This serves as confirmation that you intend to reclaim the same land title, and that no fraudulent activity has taken place. It's important to note that any fraudulent report can lead to serious legal consequences. By reporting the incident, you show your integrity and honesty in the process of requesting a new land title. In this blog post, we'll guide you through the steps you should take if you find yourself in this situation.
**Two witnesses are required to certify the damage/loss
Having proper evidence to support your claim is crucial as keeping a record may not be enough, which is why the land office requires landowners to have two witnesses to certify the claim. Your witnesses can be people you know and trust, such as close friends, family members, or neighbors. When you go to the land office, both witnesses must present their ID cards and sign a certification document in front of an officer to confirm that you have indeed lost or damaged your land title and require a new one. This process helps ensure clarity and prevent any potential fraudulent activities, such as using the land as collateral for a loan and then requesting a new title. Should any issues arise in the future, both witnesses will be required to testify in court. By following these steps, you can demonstrate the integrity of your claim and protect your rights as a landowner.
Once you have reported and recorded the loss or damage of your land title and obtained two witnesses, you can proceed to apply for a new land title at the land office by bringing the daily record and the two witnesses.
2. Request for a new Land Title
Prepare evidence
Before requesting for a new land title, it's important to make sure you gather up relevant documents as evidence. The following are three potential scenarios for the land title requesting process.
The land title was damaged but you have evidence
In this case, if there is evidence that can be verified, such as the position of the land, the land title number, the name and seal of the provincial governor, and/or the name and seal of the land officer according to the type of land title, supporting evidence must be provided as follows:
Land title deed
Identification card of the person requesting a new land title
House registration document
Evidence of name change (if applicable)
The land title was damaged but you don't have evidence
In case of a damaged land title and no available evidence for verification, prepare the same evidence as mentioned earlier, but you must follow these steps:
Find two witnesses with their national identification cards to assist the investigation process.
If the land title is lost due to criminal activity, provide evidence of the report made to the investigating officer.
If the case is a court order or a legal request for a new land title, provide the final court order or judgment or the request letter.
In case of a lost land title deed or the original landowner has passed away
Daily record report
National identification card of the applicant for a new land title
Household registration of the person reporting the loss or damage, and evidence of any name changes (if applicable)
Death certificate of the previous landowner, and if applicable, the heir must bring the document to receive inheritance of the land and transfer ownership.
Contact the Land Office to apply for a new land title
After preparing all the necessary documents, you can contact the land office in your area to apply for a new land deed. There will be a fee of approximately 75 baht, which includes the application fee, notice posting fee, new land deed fee (for the replacement land deed), and there are 12 steps involved in the process of applying for a new land deed, as follows:
Receive queue card.
Officers receive requests and inquire about information from those who request a new land deed.
Check evidence, check power of attorney documents, and consider orders.
Enter the request into the task register.
Check and seize missing or damaged land deeds.
Issue an order form and receipt, and receive the application fee.
Print announcements in the case of lost or destroyed land deeds or certificates of utilization.
The land owner receives the announcement and brings the officer to close the announcement.
Distribute announcements to close in the area where the land is located, at the district office, sub-district office, or branch office where the land is located, and in the municipal area, one announcement should be kept at the municipal office.
The announcement is published for 30 days. If there is no objection or protest, a black and white copy can be created.
Propose to the land officer to sign the copy and inform the land owner to receive the copy.
Deliver the new land deed (replacement document) to the land owner, and the process is completed.
For the new land title deed, it will not be the same as the old one, but will be called the "substitute land title deed". It will have red letters stamped on the document that say "substitute" to indicate that this document can be used to replace the original land title deed in all cases. For example, when conducting a real estate transaction or when we need to buy or sell land, we can use this substitute land title deed.
Conclusion
In conclusion, losing or damaging your land title can be a stressful and overwhelming experience, but there are steps you can take to address the situation. Start by immediately reporting the incident to the Land Office or Land Registry Office where your title was issued. Provide any necessary documentation or information they may need to assist you in obtaining a duplicate title. It's also a good idea to consider getting title insurance to protect yourself from potential losses or damages in the future. Remember to always keep your land title in a secure place and to take necessary precautions to prevent it from being lost or damaged.
