Which condo is everyone living in?

I'm in Life Asoke Rama 9 and honestly it's been fine for the last two years. The walls aren't paper thin and I rarely hear neighbors unless they're having a loud party. The juristic office is responsive enough, they fixed a leak in my bathroom within a day.

Before this I was at The Base Park East in Thonglor and I'd skip that one. The pool and gym looked great in photos but the management let the maintenance slide hard after the first year, and the elevators broke down constantly. You're smart to read the reviews because some of these newer buildings look flashy but cut corners everywhere.

honestly I'm at Rhythm Ekkamai and it's been pretty decent for the price. The walls are thick enough that I only hear my neighbor's dog barking sometimes, and the juristic office fixed my AC within 4 hours when it broke on a Sunday which surprised me. The water pressure is solid even during peak morning hours

I'd avoid The Room Sukhumvit 69 though. Stayed there for 6 months and the construction noise from nearby buildings was relentless, plus the management changed 3 times during my lease and nobody knew what was going on. The pool was always closed for "maintenance" like every other week

tbh I've been at Ideo Q Sukhumvit 36 for about a year and a half and it's been solid. The walls are concrete so noise isn't really an issue and the juristic office actually picks up the phone when you call which is rare here. Only downside is the pool gets crowded on weekends but that's every condo in bangkok

Before this I was at The Lofts Ekkamai and man that place was a nightmare. Paper thin walls where I could hear my neighbor sneeze, constant water pressure drops in the morning, and the security guards were always on their phones. The building looked great online but the construction quality was garbage. Stay away from anything by that developer honestly

Krua Dok Mai Kao is solid but I've always found their som tam a bit tame on the pla ra. If you want the real funky version, try the shophouse spots along Soi Udomsuk 26, near the night market end. They pound it fresh with fermented fish that'll clear your sinuses, and it's like 60 baht. Different style from the On Nut places, more Lao-leaning.

for som tam specifically i'd say the Isaan spots in Chatuchak are underrated, weekdays only though since the weekend crowd ruins the vibe. there's a stall near gate 2 that does tam pa with fermented bamboo shoots, super sour and funky, not something you see much in On Nut. if you're already heading north for Or Tor Kor anyway its worth the detour.

honestly the som tam at Krua Dok Mai Kao is good but what got me hooked is their nam prik pla raa dip with the raw veggies, that funk hits way harder than the papaya does. think most people sleep on it cuz they just order the som tam and gai yang. also pro tip, go before noon on weekdays, after that teh pla ra gets milder cuz they batch it for the lunch rush
