Bangkok Property Prices Q2 2014 (heatmap):

The highest condo prices are found in Pathum Wan district (7) and Ratchathewi district (37), with the hotspots Siam, Chidlom, Ploenchit, and Lumphini, Ratchatewi and Phaya Thai. The districts Pathum Wan (7), Khlong Toei (33), and Watthana (39) have the highest rental prices (high end segment over 800 THB/ sqm mt). Ratchathewi district (37) offers the widest price range (48’000-137’000 THB/sqm). The cheapest rents and values can be found in Bang Na (47) Suan Luang (34), Bang Kapi (6) and Wang Thonglang (45) district.

Location is one of the main driver for the property prices, but not only the macro-location like the districts, also the micro-location has a large impact on the property valuation. So is the value of a condo in a 500m radius around a BTS or MRT station station 40-60% higher compared to a similar condo without a station in walking distance.
