Bangkok Luxury Condo: Breathtaking BTS Phrom Phong Views!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into Bangkok Luxury Condo: Breathtaking BTS Phrom Phong Views! This isn't your cookie-cutter hotel review; this is the raw, unvarnished truth, sprinkled with a little bit of… well, me. Let's get this glorious mess started.
Bangkok Luxury Condo: Breathtaking BTS Phrom Phong Views! - The Real Deal
First Impressions – (Accessibility, Getting There, Safety)
Okay, getting to this place? Seriously, you're practically on the BTS Phrom Phong station. It's ridiculously convenient! I mean, even I (a notoriously directionally challenged human) couldn't get lost. Accessibility-wise, it seemed pretty good. Elevators are a lifesaver in a city like Bangkok, especially if you’ve got a bit of luggage and/or, you know, aren't feeling particularly up for climbing stairs.
And the safety aspect? They've got CCTV everywhere – outside, in common areas. Feels secure. Fire extinguishers, smoke alarms… the whole shebang. Makes a nervous Nellie like me feel a little better. I'm a worrier, what can I say?
Rooms – (Comfort, Amenities, That View!)
Right, so you're probably wondering about the rooms. Well, let me tell you: the view…the view… from my room? Absolutely bonkers. Breathtaking isn't an exaggeration. I spent a good hour just gawking. The "breathtaking" part of the title? They’re not kidding.
The room itself? Clean. Really clean. Seriously, I'm notoriously fussy (my friends call it "hygiene obsession," I call it "being sensible"). But I felt they were really on top of it. (Anti-viral cleaning products, room sanitization, the whole shebang.) The bed? Oh lord, the bed… Extra long, with those fluffy pillows that you just sink into. Blackout curtains? Yes! Absolute dream for a light sleeper like me. Seriously, I slept like a baby (until the jet lag kicked in, that is). They even had a scale… a cruel reminder, but still.
They had everything you could want – free Wi-Fi (crucrucial!), air conditioning (duh), coffee/tea maker (yay!), a safe (for valuables, obviously), even bathrobes and slippers! (I basically lived in those slippers.) And the little touches? Bottle of water, complimentary tea, super-nice. The in-room safe box – a lifesaver when I had too much cash from the ATM!
And the windows that open! Seriously, let a light and fresh air into the room is awesome!
Dining, Drinking and Snacking – (Food Glorious Food!)
Alright, let's talk food. Bangkok, right? Food is life! And this place delivered. They have a restaurant, a coffee shop. The breakfast buffet? Pretty good. I piled my plate with everything from Western staples to Asian delights (hello, Asian breakfast!). There were even desserts! (Don't judge.) I love that they have vegetarian options.
Room service is 24-hour, which is dangerous. Especially after a few Chang beers.
Things To Do & Ways to Relax – (Spa, Pool, and Beyond!)
Okay, I spent a lot of time in the pool. The “pool with a view” is accurate. It's glorious! Seriously, just floating there, looking at the Bangkok skyline…pure bliss.
They have a gym and a spa. I tried the fitness center and I’ll be honest, I don’t work out at all. But it was good, and also it features a sauna, steamroom, and all that luxury stuff.
Services and Conveniences – (The Extras That Matter)
Concierge service was fantastic. They helped me book a taxi and gave some great recommendations. Laundry service and dry cleaning are available as well, which is amazing! I had a mountain of dirty clothes after a week of exploring, so that was very useful!
They have facilities for disabled guests.
For the Kids
Not entirely relevant to me… but they do have things, like babysitting services and kids’ meals. So, families are welcome!
The Quirks…and the Imperfections
Look, no place is perfect, right? The lobby music (sometimes) reminded me of lift music. But honestly, the good far, far outweighed the bad.
Cleanliness and Safety – (Feeling Safe Is Everything)
They seem ridiculously on top of cleaning and hygiene. Hand sanitizer everywhere, staff trained, the whole shebang. Daily disinfection in common areas, and rooms sanitized between stays. (They are serious about sterilizing!)

Manila Bayview Balcony Paradise: 20th Floor Luxury Awaits!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because here is my hilariously messy, gloriously flawed, and hopefully relatable itinerary for a supposed trip to that swanky condo in Bangkok. Let’s be honest, the real trip probably won’t look anything like this…
Trip Title: Bangkok Blunders & Blessed Balconies (A Mostly Accurate Account)
Dates (Because they're important, right?): October 26th - November 2nd (ish. Maybe I’ll stay longer if I find a decent mango sticky rice situation).
Accommodation: Amazing View - Luxury Condo at BTS Phrom Phong, Bangkok (I hope it actually is amazing, because that’s what I paid for!)
Pre-Trip Panic & Prep (aka, The Before):
- A week before: Okay, panic sets in. Did I remember to renew my passport? (Check, thank heavens). Did I book travel insurance? (Ugh, researching that’s a rabbit hole. Still haven't). Did I download the right app for the airport? (No! I'm in denial about the flight actually happening). I'm already feeling the pre-trip anxiety like a lead weight in my stomach. Packing? Forget about it. This phase is just me scrolling through Instagram, mentally comparing myself to tanned influencers who seem effortlessly glamorous in every exotic location.
- Two days before: Packing. Or, more accurately, panicking about packing. So many clothes, so little room. I have a feeling I’ll be living in the same three t-shirts for the entire trip. Contemplate buying a miniature travel steamer, then immediately decide against it because who am I, royalty?
- The day before: Final frantic checks, stuffing everything last minute. Praying I haven’t forgotten any vital items like… you know… underwear. (Yes, this has happened.) Try to remember the Thai phrases I learned in that online course, and promptly forget them all.
Day 1: Arrival, Altitude, and Airport Mayhem
- Morning (Early AF): Wake up at ungodly hour, fuelled by sheer terror and a large coffee. Taxi to the airport. Successfully navigate check-in, mostly. Get through security with only minor embarrassment.
- Flight: Long, boring, cramped. Try not to think about all the germs circulating. Attempt to sleep, fail miserably. Watch three terrible movies. (Why are they always so bad?)
- Afternoon (Landfall!): Landing in Bangkok. Holy humidity, Batman! It hits you like a wall. Locate the BTS airport link – hopefully I can figure this out. Pray I don’t get hopelessly lost.
- Late Afternoon (First Impressions): Arrive at the condo. Finally! Hoping the "amazing view" actually is amazing. Get the keys, try to remember the lock code (because of course). Unpack and immediately try to find the air conditioning remote. It is hot.
- Evening (Street Food Shenanigans): Venture out into the Phrom Phong area, cautiously optimistic about the food scene. Find a street food stall. Overwhelmed by the choices! Panic-order something that looks good, probably a Pad Thai or something safe. Burn my tongue. Love it anyway. Get stared at by a lady selling mango sticky rice, feel the shame of not buying any. Stroll through the bustling streets, taking it all in. (Feeling slightly less like a total idiot.)
- Night (Balcony Bliss or Bust): Settle in on the balcony (if the view is actually amazing), sip a celebratory Chang beer (or three), and soak in the city lights. Reflect on the day and whether I truly have the hang of this. Maybe I’ll write something down to remember this.. if I don't fall asleep first.
Day 2: Temples, Temples, and More Temples (Plus Some Regret)
- Morning: Wake up, feeling surprisingly jet-lagged even after a decent amount of sleep. Decide to play tourist and book a temple tour. Realize – just before leaving – that I completely forgot to pack appropriate attire (shoulders covered, long pants, etc.)! Panic, because the shops will open later and regret is my only friend.
- Day (Temple Hopping): Visit Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn – stunning!), Wat Pho (Reclining Buddha – absolutely massive!), and Wat Saket (Golden Mount – the climb is brutal, but the view is amazing). Sweat buckets. Get mildly sunburnt. Try to look respectful and not like a total buffoon.
- Lunch: Find a local restaurant for lunch, but find that all the food is way too spicy. Order some rice and try to contain the tears streaming down my face. (Should have checked that spice level!)
- Afternoon: Visit a shopping mall near Phrom Phong. Experience the sheer, overwhelming, air-conditioned glory of it all. Buy a ridiculously overpriced ice cream just to cool down.
- Evening: More street food, maybe with a little less spice this time. Stumble across a rooftop bar at sunset. Overpay for cocktails with ridiculously fancy names. Watch the city lights twinkle, and feel overwhelmingly grateful.
Day 3: Market Mayhem & Massages (The One I'm Really Looking Forward To)
- Morning: Take the BTS to Chatuchak Weekend Market. Get completely lost in the maze of stalls. Buy a bunch of things I don't need and probably won’t use. Haggle badly, overpay out of sheer social awkwardness, and consider myself a local expert.
- Lunch: Eat something questionable from a food stall in the market. Survive.
- Afternoon (Massage Nirvana - The Main Event): Book the signature massage. Seriously, I've been hyping this up for weeks. I’ve got a whole list of essential things to prepare.
- Preparation: Watch several YouTube videos on the art of the Thai massage, so I don't look completely clueless. I practice my "ow" face. I practice my "ohhh" of pleasure. I find the best reviewed spa near phrom phong. I book it in advance!
- The Experience: Arrive smelling of nervous sweat. The spa is immaculate. There's soothing music. A tiny, calm old lady beckons me toward my mat. Try to relax. Breathe deeply. This is it. The massage therapist, a tiny woman with incredible strength, kneads every knot out of my weary body with what feels like the force of a thousand suns (in the best way possible). I wince, then sigh, then lose track of time and space. I feel myself drifting off as I hear the thaa of a massage stick. I am almost certain I fall asleep while the woman sits on my back.
- Aftermath: Crawl out of the spa feeling like a limp noodle, utterly blissful. Stroll through the streets like a woman reborn. And, of course, I treat myself to… More mango sticky rice. And, if it’s really good, I might even find a vendor and buy a second one for the road.
- Evening: Dinner at a nice restaurant, maybe Italian. Fall into bed, deeply content.
Day 4: Day Trip Dilemmas (Or, The Day I Might Stay Put)
- Morning: Contemplate a day trip. Options: Ayutthaya (ancient city), Floating Markets, maybe even Kanchanaburi (Bridge over the River Kwai). But… the thought of more travel after all that street food… is exhausting. And it's raining.
- Late Morning/Afternoon (The Stay-Put Option): Ultimately, decide to embrace a low-key day. Sleep in. Read a book on the balcony (if the weather cooperates). Explore the neighborhood a bit more. Maybe find a cute little cafe.
- Afternoon (Culinary Adventures): Take a cooking class. Chop vegetables (badly). Make something delicious (hopefully). Get covered in flour.
- Evening: Dinner at a local restaurant and see if there is some type of night market.
Day 5: Shopping & Scams (And Maybe a Bit of Culture, Too)
- Morning: More shopping! This time a bit more organized, with a clear plan (yeah, right). Hit the malls again (the air conditioning is just too irresistible). Try to avoid the aggressive salespeople.
- Lunch: Seek out some new Thai food.
- Afternoon (The Scam Scare): Get possibly scammed by a tuk-tuk driver. (This is Thailand – it's practically a rite of passage.) Argue (mildly). Learn a valuable lesson – always, always, always agree on a price beforehand.
- Evening: Find a nice restaurant that is air-conditioned and eat enough food to feel like I'm going to explode but not regret a single bite.
Day 6: Relaxation & Reflections (Maybe a Last-Minute Emergency)
- Morning: Sleep in. Enjoy one last leisurely breakfast on the balcony (fingers crossed for that amazing view!). Pack (again, with a sense of dread).
- Afternoon: Get a final massage (because, why not?). Wander around the parks, perhaps visit the emquartier or the emporium. Start to feel a pang of sadness that the trip is ending. *
Bangkok Luxury Condo: Breathtaking BTS Phrom Phong Views! - Ask Me Anything (But Be Patient, I'm Still Recovering)
Okay, spill the tea. Is this condo REALLY as amazing as it sounds? Phrom Phong, Luxury, Views... What's the catch?
Alright, alright, settle down. Honestly? *Mostly* amazing. Look, I'm not gonna lie, the photos? They're… staged. Okay, maybe not *completely* staged, but they definitely didn't capture the… *situation* I had with a rogue pigeon that took up residence on my balcony for, like, a week. Beautiful view? Absolutely. Staring at EmQuartier with a pigeon watching me eat my Pad Thai? Less glamorous.
The catch? Well, there's the obvious: PRICE. My god, you’re talking serious baht. But the *real* catch? The traffic. Getting in and out of Phrom Phong during rush hour is a special kind of hell. Picture this: squeezing into a crammed tuk-tuk, sweating buckets, staring longingly at the air-conditioned haven that is your condo, and knowing you're going to be late for that ridiculously overpriced brunch you booked. Yeah… it's a *thing*.
About those views… BTS Phrom Phong? What's the actual view like? Instagrammable?
Instagrammable? Honey, it's practically begging for a filter! The view is, hands down, the *selling* point. You've got the sprawling city, the twinkling lights at night (that's when the pigeon problem becomes less noticeable, thankfully), the Benjasiri Park just gleaming green… It's *stunning*. I mean, I spent a solid hour the first night just… staring. Like a dork. Okay, maybe a *slightly* less dorky dork because I was sipping champagne.
But here’s a confession: remember that *one perfect* sunset photo you've seen? Well, the photographer definitely didn't mention the *building* blocking the view of the actual sun! You can see the colors, but not the fiery orb dipping below the horizon. Minor detail. Don’t tell them I told you.
Oh, and the BTS? Yeah, it's right there. Convenient? Absolutely. Sometimes the train noise is… noticeable. Especially if you have a hangover and are trying to sleep.
Luxury? What amenities are we talking about? Pool? Gym? Social scene?
Luxury, yes. And honestly, a lot of it *is* luxurious. We're talking infinity pool overlooking the city. Fancy. State-of-the-art gym (that I used… twice. Judge me). Sauna. Steam room. Co-working spaces (which, let’s be honest, are mostly used by people trying to look important on their laptops).
The social scene? Mixed bag. Lots of expats. Some of the rich Thai people, yes. And me, trying to blend in. It’s like a carefully curated party where you're never *quite* sure you're cool enough to be there. I once overheard a conversation about the "perfectly aged vintage wine cellar" in someone's *actual apartment*. I was clutching a Chang beer. Awkward.
And then there was the time I tried to join the resident’s yoga class… turns out, I’m not as flexible as a Kardashian. Or anyone else there. Majorly embarrassing.
So, the dreaded "Hidden Costs"? What's the real price of living the high life?
Oh sweet summer child... Hidden costs are practically the name of the game! Besides the obvious, like the actual rent (which, again, is a small mortgage payment), there are the electricity bills. They're INSANE. I'm talking, like, "consider selling a kidney" levels of insanity. That AC is working overtime. And water? You'll definitely get surprised. You'd be surprised, too, how expensive it is to get your laundry done, especially when you factor those extra hotel-style charges.
Then there's the food. Oh, the food! Because you're surrounded by the "in" places. You're going to want to eat there. And they're expensive. So, consider that when you think about your budget. The cost of getting around - taxis, Grab, tuk-tuks… it adds up. And don't even get me started on the "discretionary spending" that happens when you’re surrounded by designer stores. My credit card wept.
And let's not forget the *unofficial* costs. Building management "fees" for… things. Tips. Little "gifts" needed, I'm not saying for what, if you catch my drift. Living the high life is *expensive*, darling. Be prepared.
The location: Phrom Phong. What's it *really* like living there?
Phrom Phong is… a tale of two cities. You've got the glitz and glamour, the high-end malls (Emporium, EmQuartier… your wallet will be sobbing), the fancy restaurants, the spas. It's a shopper's paradise. You have everything. But… you also have the chaos. The traffic is legendary. The crowds are intense. Sometimes you feel like you're swimming upstream in a river of designer handbags and perfectly coiffed hair.
But and here’s the real heart of it: the *convenience*. The BTS is right there, making getting around relatively easy (except during rush hour, see above). The supermarkets are stocked with everything you could possibly want (including those ridiculously expensive imported cheeses). You've got access to some of the best restaurants and bars in the city. And let's not forget the amazing massage parlors on every corner. A full body massage is an absolute necessity after a day navigating the Phrom Phong jungle, and it makes for the perfect sunset view.
It’s a love/hate relationship, really. I miss it. A lot. Even the pigeon. (Maybe.)
Any regrets? Would you do it again?
Regrets? Hmm… let me think. The pigeon, definitely. The electricity bill, a thousand times over. Maybe spending a little too much on that ridiculously expensive handbag… I can't believe, to this day, how much I paid. Don't make the same mistake.
But… would I do it again? Probably. Despite the chaos, the cost, the feathered fiend on my balcony… there's something about those views, the convenience, the feeling of, well, being *there*. Being in the heart of it all. Plus, that pool… I might even attempt that yoga class again. Maybe. Don't hold your breath.
So, yes. Despite all theRest Nest Hotels
