So far it seems pretty good. I’ve been in my apartment for less than 24 hours but it’s not bad. Aside from the shower there seems to be no hot water but I have seen this in many homes and apartments in Thailand. This place certainly isn’t the Conrad down the road but if you’re wanting something that’s pretty decent for not a lot of money then it’s alright. The only complaint I have really, and it’s no fault of the place but there’s no alley or connecting street to get to soi 11 or easily have a bolt or grab come to you without having wait for the driver to navigate through the spiderweb of sois to get to the front of the building. Logistically it’s kind of annoying but it’s not a bad walk down the block and around to get to the 7/11 and the nightlight of soi 11. BTS Asok station is decently close too. Some of the LED lighting in my particular unit doesn’t work. I had to play with the switch for 5 minutes to catch it and it came on but it seems maybe a faulty driver on that segment of LEDs. The keys and locks are pretty modern. The building utilizes Samsung smart locks for each of the units front door. It’s like an rfid tag and it works pretty well. The safe in the room is pretty useless as it’s locked and no way to open it up. I will say I didn’t call about it or anything so maybe it does work and they just have to open it. Not too sure.
The bathroom lighting is a bit dim. Makes it hard to shave right side of face due to harsh shadows and the temperature of light appears to be about 35-3700k. So it has the yellow look. Not super crispy white like I’m used to at home.
