Like those the world over, condos in Chiang Mai enjoy ready access to a mix of one or more recreational and everyday facilities. Other than the standard fixtures of a laundry shop or number of self-service, coin-operated washing machines, water-vending dispensers, private parking and up to four lifts (elevators), WiFi is routinely supplied without charge but with the freedom for live-in owners and tenants to set up their own home broadband internet connection. Normally inclusive and for the sole use of residents, clubhouse amenities include everything from the customary outdoor swimming pool (some with integrated jacuzzi), gym, communal lounge and gardened grounds to a landscaped rooftop commanding magnificent views of the mountainous Doi Suthep-Pui National Park, open-air sala [Thai style pavilion], library, barbeque terrace, entertainment room, wine bar and even, in one case, a helipad! Not to mention the added advantage of a safe living environment courtesy of security guards (typically on duty round-the-clock), CCTV cameras, controlled entry to the property (frequently by means of an electronic keycard), staffed front desk and, increasingly, units outfitted with a digital door lock.
