    Jett,
    I enjoy your presentations about property but also when you do an interview like with taxes. You make your audience feel comfortable and at ease.

    I like that they integrated woods and plants. It makes it a much more liveable, especially in a metropolis like bkk

    It looks nice, but given the traffic generated on Convent Road by St Joseph's Convent School, I can't imagine what it would be like trying to get in or out of my home during school drop-off and pick-up hours. Given that there is no urban planning in Bangkok... 《《 eyeroll 》》

      According to Google, you're about a 7 minute walk to Sala Daeng BTS station and around 12 minutes to Silom MRT station.

    What is the total cost in USD for a 1 bedroom furnished? Does the 1 bedroom have a balcony ?

    • @JettGunther
      @JettGunther  11 днів тому +1

      Right now, all 1 bedroom units have been sold out. The smallest unit available is the 85sqm 2 bedroom type that starts at 20.1m thb, fully fitted but not fully furnished.

    Construction noise is one thing - all developments are eventually completed - but Bangkok's air quality is atrocious. I love the buzz of central BKK, but it is a smog monster.

    • @JettGunther
      @JettGunther  12 днів тому +2

      Fair concern as a major contributing factor to air quality is emissions from vehicles. Fortunately, there's been a surge in the number of EV vehicles and metro station coverage in the past few years.
      Personally, I'm grateful I live in a city that doesn't need to worry about blizzards, tornadoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, high crime and gun violence, bombings, riots, etc.

    Lol. 32 million baht for the show unit. Fantastic condo but that’s an insane price.

    • @JettGunther
      @JettGunther  12 днів тому +2

      If this exact condo and facilities were built in the middle of any major western city, you think the price would only be 32 million?

    • @tripnotic100
      @tripnotic100 12 днів тому

      @ but it’s not in ANY major city in the world. It’s in Thailand where people have historically come to stretch their dollar further. Hope this helps!

    • @JettGunther

      This condo is well in the top percentile of luxury developments located in one of the wealthiest districts in Bangkok.
      For context, the number of property transactions in Bangkok that were worth over 10 million baht accounted for 4.9% of all property transactions in 2024 so far.
      So this condo is definitely not marketed to the average Thai person.
      Even if someone wanted to stretch their budget to buy this condo, there is simply no way a bank would approve a mortgage if the person only made an average Thai salary.

      Is the square footage price quoted the discount off the plan price. Also what's the difference for fitted vs full furnished?

    • @JettGunther
      @JettGunther  11 днів тому

      @@ringovski1980 Yes this is the current price.
      Fully furnished = everything included as well as loose furniture.
      Fully fitted = only fitted items like kitchen appliances, countertops, cabinets, toilet fixtures, etc
      Bare shell = nothing included. Just the bare shell.

    This condo project has too much wood. It seems everything is made of wood. Less use of wood is better for this world 🌎.

    • @JettGunther
      @JettGunther  12 днів тому

      I sympathize with your concern but all materials cause some form of environmental footprint.
      Wood is renewable and, if sourced sustainably, can have a lower environmental footprint compared to many synthetic materials. Wood can also last decades, reducing the need for replacements.
      Ceramic or stone tiles are durable and low maintenance but are energy-intensive to produce and transport.
      Vinyl or laminate are durable but are derived from petroleum, leading to higher carbon emissions.
      Steel or aluminum are recyclable but has a high initial carbon footprint due to energy-intensive manufacturing.
      While composite boards are made from recycled wood fibers, they are are often bonded with resins that may emit formaldehyde.
      Perhaps it's best to utilize a mixed approach towards materials sourcing, weighing the pros and cons of each material when selecting them.

    • @polarbear3577

      @JettGunther To say that wood can be sourced sustainably is nothing more than a myth. This is a narrative that the forestry industry has been using to decive the public for many years. We now know that cutting down trees, have a huge environmental impact. There is nothing sustainable by cutting down trees, in fact it is the exact opposite that is true. The planet is getting warmer, the rivers and streams are drying out, leaving the planet with less water, which we all need to survive. Not to mention the loss of species and more violent storms. The best thing you can do as a realtor you must, enlighten developers that buyers of real estate today are sensitive to the use of wood 🪵. In fact, there is hardly any teak left in Thailand. It is mostly sourced from Burma, Laos, and Cambodia. They will also run out of teak very soon. There are many alternatives that can be used other than wood 🪵.

    • @JettGunther
      @JettGunther  12 днів тому

      Yes sourcing wood has environmental impacts, but my above response still stands regarding alternatives and a sensible mixed apporach.
