DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT of Chomdoi Condominiums
Unmistakable in appearance, Chom Doi Condotel stands not as a single tower but rather two separate and uniquely shaped residential buildings; the first built ‘triangular’ Chom Doi 1 and, directly across from which, the marginally more youthful and positively iconic ‘round’ Chom Doi 2. Inevitably –but somewhat so- for properties pushing a quarter of a century in age, neither Chomdoi condominium can boast the aesthetic allure of a sleek new modern-day construction or blessed with the latest and greatest leisure amenities. Yet both condos continue to serve as a popular living spot for foreigners to Chiang Mai and among Thai folk, mainly thanks to their tried-and-tested day-to-day running and upkeep of the premises and affordably commodious revamped units whilst occupying a first-rate position at the convergence of three landmark neighbourhoods and hardly a stone’s throw from the most prominent education hub in the whole of Northern Thailand.
Where is Chomdoi Located?
Along the mid-reaches of Canal Road so, as part of Chiang Mai’s multi-lane Outer Ring Road, grants residents fast, easy, direct travel to destinations within and beyond Chiang Mai’s main town.
Chom Doi Condotel lies just inside the official bounds of the Nimman neighbourhood. Ideally, for digital nomads, en route to Nimmanhaemin’s main areas and walkable from the condo complex in less than 15 minutes to several co-working spaces.
For rest or play, on the other hand, onward in only as much time again in Chiang Mai’s trendiest territory in the form of Nimman’s stack of upscale drinks lounges, cafés galore, international restaurants, boutique retail outlets and, at Rin Kham intersection, the ever-bustling and ultra-contemporary Maya Lifestyle shopping mall.
After an insight into more classically Thai habitats, those need only head out of Chom Doi to Phucome junction, merely 250m away, where Jed Yod is immediate to the northeast. Home to its namesake –and still little-visited- ancient seven-spired Buddhist wat[temple] on top of plentiful local restaurants in the company of, ahem, more than a few’ drawn curtain love hotels! Or, directly northwest of Phucome crossroads, with more than its fair share of vibrant and inordinately local farmers’ markets, wonderfully leafy sois [side streets] and plentiful green spaces is the suburb of Chang Khian.
And where it meets Huay Kaew Road ‘in front of Chiang Mai University, the area known as Na Mor; the site of Malin Plaza has The Chiang Mai Complex sheltering a sizeable food court dishing up Thai and western fare.
More or less opposite which is the northern entrance to CMU’s main (Suan Sak) campus; established on roughly three square kilometres of land and more like a small town, the partly wooded estate features loads of student-priced canteens, coffee shops and bakeries plus a post office, a range of Thai banks, a computer- and WiFi-equipped library available for public use not to mention the terrifically scenic Ang Kaew lake set against the verdant forested slopes of the Doi Suthep-Pui National Park. Before conveniently emerging from the university grounds through the side gate on Huay Kaew Soi 3 and a quick 5-minute stroll back to Chom Doi!

Besides the attendance round-the-clock of a duo of uniformed security guards stationed at the dual-barrier entryway to Chom Doi Condotel, video monitoring cameras are mounted both indoors and out with access into the separate condo buildings controlled by a personal-issue electronic key fob; for added peace of mind, residents are free to avail of front office or juristic staff any time between the hours of 8 AM and 5 PM daily.
For those with their own set of wheels, Chomdoi supports outdoor (covered in parts) and underground private parking for no less than 120 cars, in addition to no shortage of bays in which to safely plonk a motorcycle or pushbike. As well as each condo building enjoying its very own amply proportioned, well maintained and nice-looking outside swimming pool with encircling sun deck, both residences star a central open courtyard liberally adorned with lush tropical vegetation and off of which, double lifts (those in Chom Doi 2 are glass elevators).
What’s more, Chom Doi 1 encompasses a reasonable –though now a somewhat dated collection of fitness equipment, a multitude of communal seating arrangements and around the edge of the inner atrium, several commercial units, not least a book shop, minimart, serviced laundry, and in common with Chom Doi 2, a half-dozen coin-operated washing machines, tumble dryer and water-vending dispenser. WiFi is supplied throughout the two condo buildings at an additional cost per month.
What are the Condos at Chomdoi Like?
At 14 storeys apiece, Chom Doi 1 and 2 incorporate several hundred much larger than average, air-conditioned, mostly balconied units and, a real boon for residents rarely seen in Chiang Mai’s condos, single-loaded corridors, so every room faces inwards towards the building’s inner courtyard. Studio and one-bedroom units are a great 35 to 47 sq m, Two-bedroom units an even heftier 67 to 72 sq m; not forgetting the two-bedroom duplex penthouse suites distributed across the upper two floors and which provide anything from 96 to 146 sq m of useable space. Though unfurnished or partly-furnished units do occur on the market periodically, the majority come fully furnished. That said, condo units at Chom Doi represent a proper mixed bag with some of the earliest –since neglected and now very much worse for wear- condo units still surviving. However, many have been completely and utterly overhauled to an excellent if not superior standard offering every mod con imaginable though, of course, the exact configuration, interior design, fittings and fixtures, household appliances and homewares is entirely at the mercy of the individual unit owner.
