The Vidi Condominium Chiang Mai – elegantly redefined residences in Nimman environs

Vidi DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT

The past decade has seen the suburb of Santitham shed its image as a somewhat unfashionable part of the city. Even to this day, no-frills serviced and long-stay 

apartments still prevail in the discernibly local 

neighbourhood, The Vidi condo. The Chiang Mai 99 Palm Company project, the finishing touches to the modern style elegant low-rise, was only made in 2017. 

Vidi’s LOCATION

Built on more than one rai of land at the undisturbed tail end of a local strip within Santitham, The Vidi could scarcely be better located to immerse residents in the best Chiang Mai offers. Not metres from the condo, day-to-day amenities and conveniences by the truckload with the surrounding backstreets no less blessed with markets, cafés, live music bars and row upon row of mom-and-pop shophouses supplying Thai food, mobile phones, household goods, health and beauty treatments!

If it’s glitz and glamour residents seek, on the other hand, the futuristic-looking Maya Lifestyle Shopping Centre lies just 600m away from The Vidi condo. Besides over one hundred stores and restaurants, the oh-so-famous landmark mall claims a multi-screen SFX cinema, a library café (‘CAMP’) open 24/7, food courts, a pro fitness outfit, a branch of Chiang Mai’s Rimping Supermarket, a thrice-weekly market. For yet more foraging exploits, retail therapy and recreational diversions, a few strides from Maya is the grooviest spot in town, Nimmanhaemin Road. With its branching sois [lanes], Nimman is bursting with diverse offbeat and homey coffee shops, restaurants and bars.

VIDI FACILITIES

With a focus on maximum security, The Vidi constantly features guards in uniform on duty at both of its double-barrier entrances. Additionally, closed-circuit video cameras keep a watchful eye on common areas of the property plus an electronic keycard system controls access not only to the interior of each condo building but also, via their single lift [elevator], to individual floors. Smiley, well informed and quick to help staff are on hand at the front desk and juristic office from 9 AM to 6 PM Monday to Saturday.

The central communal lobby is stylish with a smattering of decorative embellishments and a nice sized comfy sofa. The entire space enjoys a present-day look and an agreeably airy feel.

Though initially planned, the on-site restaurant, self-service laundry and 24-hour minimart have since been shelved; it’s far from a raw deal for the condo’s inhabitants, mind, seeing as the street on which The Vidi stands is teeming with the likes! Surprisingly different, shared WiFi internet isn’t just free to use but available across all floors.

Outdoors, there’s private parking sufficient for 31 cars, with almost the entirety of the landscaped grounds cloaked in tropical green splendour, offering nothing short of a micro oasis of peace and privacy. In addition, the Vidi stars a 15x7m open-air saltwater swimming pool complete with a natural stone sun deck graced with rattan loungers as an extra sweetener. And for more athletic folks out there, a decently proportioned gym stocked with brand spanking new workout and training gear.

ROOM TYPES, LAYOUT & SPECIFICATION

More or less divided evenly between its two separate 7-storey condo buildings, every 98 residential units at The Vidi comes air-conditioned and furnished in full and connected to each unit, the resident’s expansive terrace and in some a second, smaller balcony. At the same time, as a bonus safety measure, rooms are rigged with a digital door lock.

They were designed to make every last bit of useable space count. Vidi’s four types of condo units exist as studios with one bathroom (28.70 to 40.33 sq m) and those with one bedroom and one bathroom (39.20 to 53.00 sq m).

Two bedrooms, one bathroom (50.00 to 60.85 sq m) and two bedrooms, two bathrooms (60.10 to 64.00 sq m); all, though, are laid out with combined living/dining/kitchen quarters. Presentation throughout is intelligent, contemporary and welcoming with carefully chosen premium materials and sporting quality branded home appliances and fixtures.
