Christened originally as Top Airport Condominium almost two decades ago, the aging low-rise construction was born again in December 2015 following a large scale facelift –outside and in- completed by Bangkok-based property management and investment concern, RTC Hospitality Group. Operating nowadays as more a condotel and almost exclusively the long-term mainstay of Thai folk, Sereno Airport condominium is billed as a luxury modern European style development positioned in a highly favourable location a mere stone’s throw from Chiang Mai International Airport.

Tucked away out of sight down a soi [side street] off the main Hang Dong Road approximately 2km south of the historic ‘Old City’ and set in the midst of an authentically Thai neighbourhood and pleasantly green surroundings, Sereno Airport condo feels incredibly secluded yet affords access to a mind-boggling selection of everyday amenitiesand more right on the doorstep. Lining almost the entire length of the soi are mom and pop shophouses galore from a copious and locally priced supply of Thai eateries, minimarts, household stores, pharmacies, mobile phone shops and, scarcely more than 200m from the condo, the utterly charming and supremely serene Rilak Café with its shady stream-side setting, ambient décor and home-made cutesy French macaroons! For groceries, Sereno Airport condo is ideally placed an easy 10 minute walk from Tesco Lotus hypermarket (with its upstairs food court) by way of the private mid-tier Klaimor Hospital or, slightly farther onward but still effortlessly reachable courtesy of an astonishingly inexpensive ride in a yellow songthaew, the Hang Dong branches of the low-cost Big C Supercentre and the wholesale giant Siam Makro. Those needing a contemporary retail fix, the five-floored and well-trafficked Central Airport Plaza mall – in fact, the largest shopping and entertainment complex in the whole of Northern Thailand- can be visited in a convenient 10 minute leisurely stroll from Sereno Airport condo; arguably the best shopping centre in all Chiang Mai for international brands and providing free daily shuttle bus routes to designated venues elsewhere in and around the city, the mall boasts over 500 shops, restaurants and other services not least Chiang Mai’s only Robinson department store, a branch of IT City, a seven-screen Major Cineplex movie theatre, a Tops Market, the recently refurbished ‘Kad Luang Airport’ food court, ‘Northern Village’ handicraft and souvenir zone as well as a multi-purpose convention and exhibition hall. Directly across from which lie warehouse sized outlets of ‘baan & BEYOND’ home improvement store, ‘Power Buy’ electronics retailer as well as ‘OfficeMate’ workplace equipment and supplies stockist. For a premium class of domestic and imported foodstuffs, residents can patronise the nearby Nim City Daily community mall for a branch of Chiang Mai’s native Rimping supermarket or, for value seekers, the globally renowned “Japanese dollar store”, Daiso.

Occupying a first floor spot in the single condo building is the newly rejuvenated –and decently presented- communal lobby with juristic office staffed between the hours of 9AM and 6PM Monday to Saturday. Though a duo of security guards watch eagle-eyed over the main entrance to the condo only after dark, admittance to the interior is controlled by means of a personal-issue electronic keycard and CCTV cameras are mounted throughout all common areas. A single lift (elevator) is present with an underground private parking capacity enough for 30 cars supported by an additional 20 outdoor bays divided between both the front and rear of the property. Flanking the condo are a couple of coin-operated, self-service washing machines and a water-vending dispenser. Lightning fast building-wide fibre-optic WiFi is available without charge or else residents can arrange –at their own expense- installation of home broadband through either of 3BB or Sinet Internet Service Providers. Otherwise, shared recreational facilities such as a swimming pool, fitness room, sauna or gardened grounds are altogether absent.

Established on nearly 1500 square metres of land, the seven-storey Sereno Airport condo accommodates 115 units in total. Notwithstanding a small number of commercial premises and an on-site conference room on floor one, all residential units come with an attached circular and spacious balcony orientated in a thermally conducive north-south direction; while some of the original rooms have remained untouched, many have been duly transformed as part of the recent upgrade project. Without exception, all residential units are laid out as open-plan studios and those since overhauled offer 30 sq m of fully furnished, air-conditioned, completely move-in-ready and keenly priced habitable space. Featuring a chic bathroom with glass-panelled walk-in shower and, separately, a fully equipped kitchenette, snug 2-seat sofa and no shortage of storage space, renovated units are very comfortably appointed and smartly adorned with a welcoming homely feel.
