Nakornping condo’s enduring popularity, especially among western retirees and Thai families, is a testament to its solid construction, routine building upkeep, reputable management, overall affordability, pet-friendly status and prime geographic position snuggled between the ever-enchanting historic heart of Chiang Mai and the municipality’s most fashionable neighbourhood, Nimman.

Standing prominent along a short soi [side street] just off the flourishing Huay Kaew Road, Nakornping condo offers ready access to every conceivable daily need.

Flanking the main entrance to the condo is a mom and pop eatery serving up a broad selection of inexpensively priced domestic fare while facing and presenting a somewhat refined menu, the European styled Le BRUNCH bistro.

Mere steps farther down Ratchaphuek Alley is the Green Store Minimart, run by a former buyer from Chiang Mai’s premium supermarket Rimping and stocking a thoroughly decent choice of imported groceries, dairy products, bakery items and freshly prepared coffee, understandably a firm favourite of local foreign residents! Finally, for the ultimate all-you-can-eat Thai barbeque buffet and seemingly the largest restaurant in the entire city, the aircraft hangar-sized Su Khon Tha Mu Katha lies just 500m away.

Even closer to the condo and en route to the northwest corner of the ‘Old City’ is the enormously pragmatic Kad Suan Kaew, one of Chiang Mai’s very first malls, which opened in the same year as the condo itself, welcomes a significant footfall of customers and local Thais in particular; housing several hundred shops and restaurants, the mall also anchors a Central department store, branches of Tops supermarket and IT City, three food courts, a fitness centre and a bowling alley.

Scarcely more than a 10-minute walk from Nakornping condo is the ultra-modern Maya Lifestyle Shopping Centre and, directly across from which, voguish Nimmanhaemin Road (affectionately nicknamed Chiang Mai’s “Hip Street”) with its eclectic assortment of chic bars, upscale restaurants, designer cafés, boutique outlets, co-working spaces and contemporary art galleries.

Continuing in a westerly direction is the 3 square kilometres town-like main campus of Chiang Mai University featuring the gloriously scenic Ang Kaew lake backdropped by the lushly forested slopes of the Doi Suthep-Pui National Park.

Just beyond the foyer of Nakornping condo are the passenger and transport (wheelchair-friendly) lifts admittance controlled using a personal-issue electronic keycard. Watching over the lobby and patrolling the premises 24 hours a day is a team of security guards supported by CCTV cameras mounted in crucial spots throughout common areas of the complex; for extra peace of mind, the pleasant and accommodating juristic staff are on duty daily from 08:30 AM to 5 PM.

The condo boasts sheltered multi-storey parking for 130 cars, with ample additional spaces designated for motorcycles and push bikes. Adjoining the parking entryway at street level is a recessed bay containing four self-service washing machines and a separate tumble drier installed in the company of a coin-operated water-vending machine.

Although devoid of a gym, the Nakornping condo does incorporate a generously proportioned outdoor communal swimming pool on the fifth floor, complete with a couple of stone tables and seating from which to savour the fine and almost uninterrupted panoramic views overlooking the urban surroundings and nearby Doi Suthep-Pui mountains.

Shared WiFi is distributed throughout the property with a monthly package, albeit at their own expense- a high-speed home broadband connection through any appointed Internet Service provider.

A lofty 16-storeys in height, Nakornping condo comprises 300 residential units altogether, which, for the most part, come fully furnished, air-conditioned and with an attached private balcony. One two two-bedroom units are between 37.26 and 101 sq m of habitable space, and some units still exist in their original –and now rather decrepit- condition. However, many have since been renovated with the degree and specification of furnishings, variety of electrical appliances and homewares, and the design and style of interior decoration very much influenced by the whims of the individual owner.
