But which of The Unique Condos’ golden LOCATIONS around Chiang Mai to pick?

With The Unique Condo @ Nimman sitting on a single rai plot and The Unique Condo @ Nimman 2 taking up about two-thirds of land one door down, both properties are well-positioned on soi Suk Kasame, only a matter of steps away from the brightest lights in town, Nimmanhaemin Road! Along with the main strip and its branching side lanes, franchised and indie coffee shops, co-working places, wellness clinics, boutique retailers, shopping arcades and the coolest after-

The Unique Condominiums

dark beer, wine and cocktail lounges; not forgetting at nearby Rin Kham Intersection, the futuristic Maya Lifestyle mall housing many stores and eateries, food courts, Rimping Supermarket, 24-hour CAMP library café, multiplex cinema, MAXX Fitness, and on the observation decked rooftop, several sky bars. While directly west of the condos and within easy reach lies Canal Road and just beyond, Chiang Mai University’s partly wooded principal campus stuffed with student-priced cafeteria, farmers’ markets, public library, sports clubs and, unmissable at sundown, the picture-perfect Ang Kaew lake backed by the verdant Doi Suthep-Pui mountains.

They occupy a rather more suburban spot on a bit over one and a quarter rai where the Inner Ring Road [Highway 3029] meets the Chiang Mai-Phrao Road at Ruamchok Meechai Intersection stands The Unique Condo @ Ruamchok. Right across the way, Tesco Lotus Ruamchoke hypermarket looms for a massive selection of everyday affordable groceries and domestic wares. Opposite the joyously crowd-free Meechok Plaza, home to Rimping Supermarket and out front the twice-weekly night market. Next door and now boasting a Tops supermarket is Ruamchok Mall; then Kad.

Ruamchok fresh market beside a parade of shops selling cooked-to-order economical Thai food. Otherwise, to hit the city, head down the southbound carriageway of Highway 1001 and, with hardly more than one klick, the Super Highway at Fa Ham (Mae Jo) junction.

Covering an area of more than one and a half rai set back from Manee Nopparat Road and named after its whereabouts on the northern edge of the city [mueang] moat [khu], Chiang Mai’s condominiums don’t get any more central than The Unique Condo @ Koomuang! About 200 metres away is the Old.
