My Resort Bangkok: Family-Sized Condo Near Huai Khwang MRT Reviewed

If you've been hunting for a family friendly condo near an MRT station that won't completely destroy your monthly budget, My Resort Bangkok deserves a serious look. Sitting right on Ratchadaphisek Road in the Huai Khwang area, this project from Eastern Star Real Estate has been quietly popular with families and long term expats for years. I've walked through several units here and spent time in the common areas, so let me break down what actually matters if you're considering a lease.

Location and Getting Around from My Resort Bangkok

My Resort Bangkok sits on Ratchadaphisek Soi 9, which puts you about a five to seven minute walk from Huai Khwang MRT station. That's a real, honest walk too, not one of those developer claims where "five minutes" actually means ten on a hot day. From Huai Khwang MRT, you're just three stops from Phra Ram 9 and four stops from Sukhumvit station, where you can transfer to the BTS.

The immediate neighborhood is one of the best parts. The Huai Khwang night market is practically on your doorstep, which means late night pad kra pao and mango sticky rice whenever the craving hits. There's a Big C Extra and Tesco Lotus within a short drive, plus the Esplanade shopping mall at Ratchadaphisek MRT is one stop away. For families with kids, Ruamrudee International School has a shuttle that passes through the area, and several bilingual schools operate nearby on Ratchadaphisek.

One real scenario worth mentioning: if you work in the Asoke or Sukhumvit area, your morning commute on the MRT takes about 15 minutes door to platform. Compare that to sitting in traffic on Ratchadaphisek for 45 minutes during rush hour. The MRT access here genuinely changes your daily life.

Unit Sizes and What You Actually Get

This is where My Resort Bangkok stands out from a lot of the cookie cutter condos on Ratchadaphisek. The project offers units ranging from studios at around 36 square meters all the way up to two bedroom units at roughly 70 to 80 square meters. Those two bedroom units are legitimately spacious by Bangkok standards, where a "two bedroom" in many newer projects barely cracks 50 square meters.

The layouts feel designed for actual living rather than just looking good on a floor plan. Kitchens in the larger units have real counter space, and most units come with a separate kitchen area rather than an open plan setup that lets cooking smells take over the entire condo. Bedrooms in the two bedroom units can comfortably fit a queen bed plus a wardrobe without feeling cramped.

Finishings are mid range. You'll find ceramic tile flooring in most units, basic fitted kitchens, and air conditioning units in every room. Nothing luxury, but everything works and holds up well. Many landlords have upgraded their units with nicer furniture and curtains, so the actual experience varies quite a bit depending on which unit you rent.

Facilities That Families Actually Use

My Resort Bangkok was clearly designed with the "resort" name in mind. The swimming pool is one of the larger ones you'll find in this price bracket, with a dedicated kids pool section that's shallow enough for toddlers. There's a proper gym with both cardio and weight equipment, a sauna, and a playground area for children.

I visited on a Saturday afternoon and the pool area had maybe eight or nine families using it comfortably without feeling crowded. That's a good sign. Some condos on Ratchadaphisek pack 800 units around a pool the size of a bathtub, but the ratio here feels much more reasonable with around 500 units spread across the project.

Security is 24 hour with key card access, and there's a CCTV system throughout the common areas. Parking is available in the basement, which matters a lot if your family has a car. Visitor parking can get tight on weekends, but weekday availability is generally fine.

Rent Prices and Value for Money

Here's the practical part. As of 2024, studio units at My Resort Bangkok typically rent for 10,000 to 14,000 THB per month. One bedroom units go for around 14,000 to 20,000 THB, and two bedroom units range from 20,000 to 30,000 THB depending on floor level, furnishing quality, and whether the landlord has renovated.

For context, a comparable two bedroom unit near Phra Ram 9 MRT at Belle Grand Rama 9 would run you 28,000 to 40,000 THB. At Supalai Wellington on Ratchadaphisek, similar sizes go for 22,000 to 32,000 THB. My Resort Bangkok consistently comes in at the more affordable end while offering competitive facilities and arguably better MRT proximity than some pricier neighbors.

A young family I know recently moved here from a studio in Thonglor where they were paying 18,000 THB for 28 square meters. They now rent a two bedroom unit at My Resort Bangkok for 24,000 THB, nearly tripling their space for just 6,000 more per month. That kind of value shift is why Huai Khwang keeps attracting families priced out of the Sukhumvit corridor.

Things to Watch Out For

No property review is honest without mentioning the downsides. My Resort Bangkok was completed around 2010, so the building is showing its age in certain common areas. Some hallway carpeting looks worn, and the lobby could use a refresh. The building management has been decent about maintenance, but don't expect the gleaming polish of a brand new project.

Ratchadaphisek Road itself is noisy, so units facing the main road will hear traffic, especially on lower floors. If noise sensitivity is a concern, request a unit facing the interior or on a higher floor. Also, the elevators can get busy during morning rush hours with 500 plus residents heading out around the same time.

Overall, My Resort Bangkok delivers a lot of livable space near a convenient MRT station at prices that won't make you wince every month. For families, couples, or anyone tired of overpaying for tiny boxes on Sukhumvit, it's a genuinely solid option in a neighborhood that keeps getting better.
