Overview

Rama 3 is the emerging riverside-CBD with sweeping Chao Phraya views, big-format malls, and quick expressway links to Sathorn and the south of the city.

Rama 3 is a practical, well-priced inner-city area in Bangkok. It is exceptionally well connected — a strong reason it consistently draws expats and professionals. A typical one-bedroom condo here rents for roughly ฿14,000–฿26,000 a month, with two-bedrooms around ฿26,000–฿50,000, placing Rama 3 firmly in the mid-market band of the Bangkok market.

Day to day, Rama 3 offers a good spread of restaurants and bars, everyday essentials a few minutes from your door. Housing here is practical and affordable, which is much of the appeal. It's considered safe for everyday living, as most of Bangkok is.
