Other condos in Soi 16 that I have not listed here are:
- The Lakes (Built Year: 2003)
- Lake Avenue (Built Year: 1985)
Let me know if you would also be interested in them. Then I’ll add the information here.
Domus 16
Common Fees: 40 THB / sqm / months
Sinking Fund: 600 THB / sqm (Not relevant, as only second-hand condos are available.)
Soi 16 is primarily home to offices and apartment buildings, with only a few condominiums, many of which are older. In my opinion the best condo in the street is Domus 16. The building was completed in 2005, a time when developments didn’t typically offer as many facilities as more modern buildings.
The following facilities are available:
– In-house concierge
– Lifestyle activities service menu
– Convenient living services
– 24 Hr Security patrol
– Advanced digital CCTV monitoring system
– Controlled access system to residential units & facilities
It should be noted that the common fees of only 40 THB / sqm are very low for such a building. That doesn’t have to be a problem. But I still want to mention it, since some older buildings in Bangkok have the problem that the common fees were set very low many years ago and the predominantly Thai community of owners does not agree to an increase. If Domus 16 becomes a serious option for you, we would take a closer look at the building’s financials to ensure everything is in order.
Since the building has only 67 apartments in total, there is currently only one apartment on the market that falls within your budget.
Unfortunately, we do not have any floor plans of Domus 16.
The only 2 Bedroom unit currently available, with 102 sqm, is priced at 28,325,000 THB (1,254,000 AUD). The next larger apartment is significantly higher, at 78,000,000 THB (3,451,000 AUD).
Millennium Residence
Common Fees: 50 THB / sqm / months
Sinking Fund: 600 THB / sqm (Not relevant, as only second-hand condos are available.)
Millennium Residence is certainly the most well-known condo in Soi 16. It was completed in 2009 and has over 600 apartments.
The quality and facilities are definitely above average for Bangkok. However, in my opinion, the building cannot quite match the other condos on the list in these aspects. That being said, the apartments here are significantly more affordable.
The following facilities are available:
– 24-hour security and CCTV
– Card-access elevators
– Multiple street entrances
– Free shuttle to Exchange Tower (Asoke)
– long course Swimming pool with kids pool and sundeck
– Gym and sauna
– Garden and walkways
– BBQ area
– Children’s playground
– Tennis court
– Meeting room, library and recreation room
– Shops and restaurants within the complex
– Vast green areas and gardens
The 1-Bedroom condos with 68 sqm start at around 11,000,000 THB (487,000 AUD), and two-bedroom condos with 90 sqm start at around 13,500,000 THB (598,000 AUD).

Remark
Many of the buildings in your preferred area around Lumpini Park and Benjakitti Park are Leasehold properties. The land in this region belongs to the Crown, and developers lease it from the King. These developers, in turn, lease the apartments to potential buyers. Therefore, I have not included Leasehold properties in the list.
The selection of modern and luxurious Freehold properties in this area is somewhat limited. Many of the buildings are older or exceed your budget.
However, I believe the properties listed above are excellent choices for this location. All the projects included are Freehold condos, meaning you can own them 100%, and they fall within your budget.
I hope these suggestions align with your expectations and match what you have in mind.
