Of all the good condo investments around Phrom Phong available in Bangkok, two stand out from all the rest. What features make these two condominiums stand out from all the rest? We will therefore examine the pros and cons of these condos in this blog post. Let’s start with Emporio 24 and then examine Millennium Residence next.

Emporio 24 is a uniquely designed architectural masterpiece located in Phrom Phong. Developed by TCC Capital Land Limited and completed in 2010, this top-class condominium comprises two separate residential buildings. A third building is a mixed-use building. The tallest high-rise building is located on the eastern side of this condo project and has 42 floors. The next high-rise building is located on the northern side and has 35 stories. The smallest of all the buildings is a low-rise structure having three 12 floors. These three structures have 262 residential units in all. These condominium units have 5 various room types.
