Overview
Karnkanok 3 Condo (officially Karnkanok 3 Condo Jed Yod Greenery Hill) is a low-rise residential building tucked away in the quiet, historic neighborhood of Jed Yod. Completed in 2013, it follows the classic Karnkanok developer philosophy: "Function over Fashion."
While it lacks the sleek glass facade of modern Nimman condos, it compensates with enormous unit sizes. The "standard" 1-bedroom unit here is a staggering 90 square meters - nearly triple the size of a typical 1-bedroom in a new build. It is a building for people who live in Chiang Mai full-time and need space for a real life, not just a holiday crash pad.
Developer
Karnkanok Property is one of Chiang Mai's most prolific local developers. They are known for building solid, reliable homes (both houses and condos) that prioritize square footage and durability. Their management style is typically hands-off but effective, keeping maintenance fees reasonable while ensuring the basics (security, pool cleaning) are done right.
Location & Transit
Jed Yod is a labyrinth of quiet sois connecting the Superhighway to Canal Road. It is charming, leafy, and filled with local temples and hidden cafes.
| Station | Line | Distance | ๐ถ Walk | ๐๏ธ Motorbike |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jed Yod Temple | Red Truck | 600m | 8 min | 2 min |
| Maya Mall | Nimman Hub | 2.5km | 30 min | 7 min |
| Airport (CNX) | Flight | 8.5km | N/A | 18 min |
| Old City | North Gate | 4.0km | N/A | 12 min |
Tip: This location is best for vehicle owners. While you can walk to 7-Eleven or local food stalls, getting to the main city hubs (Nimman/Old City) requires a motorbike or car, as public transport inside the sois is infrequent.

Unit Types
| Type | Size | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Studio | 40 โ 50 sqm | Very large for a studio. Usually includes a separate kitchen area. |
| 1 Bedroom | 90 โ 92 sqm | The signature unit. Huge living room, separate kitchen, and often two balconies. |
| 2 Bedroom | 139 โ 175 sqm | Massive. Feels like a detached house in the sky. |
Facilities
Recreation:
- Swimming Pool: Located on the ground floor, surrounded by the building and garden. It is large enough for laps and very private.
- Fitness: A functional gym with basic equipment. It's not state-of-the-art, but it gets the job done.
- Sauna: A nice addition for a condo of this vintage.
Atmosphere:
- Low Density: With only 5 floors and ~67 units, the building never feels crowded. You will rarely wait for an elevator.
Pros
- The Size โ 90 sqm for a 1-bedroom is unheard of in modern projects. You can fit a full-sized dining table, a work desk, and an oversized sofa without it feeling cramped.
- Quiet Location โ Jed Yod is residential and peaceful, far from the flight path noise of Nimman.
- Value โ The rental/sale price per square meter is among the lowest in the city for a building with a pool.
- Solid Construction โ Thick walls mean you rarely hear your neighbors.
Cons
- Dated Design โ The interiors often feature dark wood, beige tiles, and older fixtures unless renovated.
- Car Dependency โ You really need a scooter or car to live here comfortably.
- Soi Navigation โ The roads in Jed Yod can be confusing (lots of one-ways and dead ends) until you learn the shortcuts.
- Strictly No Pets
Best For
- Couples/Families โ Who need space for two people to work from home without driving each other crazy.
- Long-Term Expats โ Who have accumulated "stuff" and need storage space that a 30 sqm condo cannot provide.
- Retirees โ Who value peace, quiet, and a large living room for entertaining.
The Bottom Line
Karnkanok 3 Condo Jed Yod is "The Space King." It offers the most square footage for your money in the Chang Phueak area. If you are willing to trade a "fancy" lobby and a walkable location for a home that actually feels like a home (and not a hotel room), this is the hidden gem you've been looking for.
