Supanich Condominium – residence in heritage area with transport on tap

Supanich Condo’s DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT!

Similarly dated as of the 1989-opened Bossotel in front, Supanich Condo is among the most prolonged standing of its kind in Chiang Mai.

A singular construction comprising one five-storey and two eight-floored wings.  The building offers good communal facilities in good condition and an ample share of modernised residential units.

Get on track with this historic town LOCATION!

Addressed on Rotfai Alley inside the past-steeped Wat Ket neighbourhood, Supanich Condo lies right from Chiang Mai train station! There is no better place for residents to hop the Northern Line’s day and overnight rail services down to Hua Lamphong in Bangkok with a pick of first-, second- or third-class seating/sleeper berths and fan-cooled air-conditioned carriages awaiting.

Being a central transportation hub, there’s a ready supply of onward rides in the form of a tuk-tuk, red songthaew and the occasional licensed taxi cab and a decent show of doorstep conveniences. Beyond a line-up of kerbside street food carts and a 7-Eleven open all hours, occupants can make short work of the budget-priced breakfast buffet or relax in the beer garden at Rod Sabiang [meaning ‘dining car on a train’ in Thai speak!].

Just up the road from Supanich Condominium

Not even 200m away on Charoen Mueang Road and the closest green setting to the condo is Railway Park, once home to the famed Railway Terminus Hotel and the scarcely visited recreation ground’s perfect for a spot of reading, quiet contemplation or a jog around its peaceful Lanna style pavilions. But equally serves as a scenic cut-through to Thunghotel Road; whereabouts of the Panij Samakhi sporting complex with its tennis, squash and badminton courts, lap pool, gym, and Thai restaurant, plus nearby StarWork co-working and event space with quick access to terminals 2 and 3 of the Provincial Arcade bus station, the Chiang Mai Business Park, and CentralFestival mall.

Whether by a brisk walk or by catching the zoo-bound B1 white municipal bus, west along the Charoen Muang strip before crossing the river Ping at Nawarat Bridge are Tesco Lotus Express and Mini Big C grocery shops a day market, carrying on to make the likes of Chiang Mai’s Night Bazaar and the Old City’s Tha Phae Gate.

I wondered what Supanich Condominium has to offer in the way of ON-SITE AMENITIES?

Outer parts of the premises enjoy liberal plantings of tropical trees, shrubs and creepers, not to mention an ornamental fish pond thick with koi carp and quantities of street-level car and motorbike parking with added racks for push bikes.

CCTV’s fitted throughout with  24-hour security guards on patrol and overlooking the condo’s main doors.

Through which, and redecorated just a few years back, is a high-ceilinged and WiFi-ready entrance hall; featuring a countered ‘Information’ office open every single day of the week, drinks vending machine, twin passenger lifts [elevators], conference room, and laundry corner with a pair each of coin-operated washers and tumble dryers.

Up and over the lobby’s mezzanine floor and complete with a rock waterfall is an invitingly proportioned and nicely kept outdoor saltwater pool with a deckside ping pong table! 

CONDO UNITS is economical on the wallet but not so in scale!

Constituting a fair number of residential condo units, give or take, studios at Supanich go from an above-average 37 to 48 square metres; whereas the larger sized 1 and 2 bedroom corner units boast dual aspect views from a circular private terrace open at some 78 sq m to a recently rediscovered top floor penthouse suite hitting 110 sq m!

Barring the sleeping chambers, the one or two bathrooms and several units where the kitchenette exists on the balcony, condos are laid out inclusively and with scant exceptions, offer A/C and are furnished in full and installable with broadband internet.
