Overview
Lumpini Place Phahol-Saphankhwai is a classic L.P.N. development located on the vibrant Pradiphat Road. Completed in 2007, this twin-tower project (29 floors each) is a staple of the neighborhood, known for offering spacious units at a fraction of the price of newer condos in nearby Ari.
While it is slightly older, it remains highly competitive due to its robust construction and excellent maintenance. It is particularly popular with staff from Paolo Memorial Hospital and the Government Savings Bank Headquarters nearby. The location on Pradiphat Road means residents are surrounded by some of Bangkok's best street food and trendy cafes, offering a perfect blend of old-school charm and modern convenience.

Unit Types
