Overview
Menam Residences is a prominent 54-storey riverfront skyscraper completed in 2016 by Menam Residences Co., Ltd. (owners of the adjacent Ramada Plaza Menam Riverside Hotel). With only 294 units, it offers an exclusive, low-density living experience where every single unit enjoys a panoramic view of the Chao Phraya River, thanks to its single-loaded corridor design.
The project is widely considered the "Home of Shrewsbury Families" due to its location virtually next door to Shrewsbury International School. Residents can walk their children to school in under 5 minutes without crossing any major roads. It combines the privacy of a residential tower with 5-star hotel services, including a private shuttle boat that connects residents directly to the BTS at Sathorn Pier, bypassing the often-congested Charoen Krung road.
Developer
Menam Residences Co., Ltd. leveraged their hospitality background to build this project. The management reflects this hotel pedigree, with impeccably maintained facilities and a high level of service from the concierge and security teams. The build quality is solid, designed to withstand the humidity and wind of the riverside location.
Location & Transit
| Station | Line | Distance | Mode |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sathorn Pier (BTS) | Shuttle Boat | 1.8km | Boat (8 min) |
| BTS Saphan Taksin | Silom | 2.0km | Motorbike (6 min) |
| Chan Road Expy | Highway | 1.5km | Car (5 min) |
Commute Logistics:
- The Shuttle Boat: This is the primary mode of transit for residents heading to the CBD. The private boat runs on a schedule to Sathorn Pier, where you can hop onto the BTS Silom Line. It is a scenic and stress-free way to start the day.
- Car: Access to the Chan Road Expressway is surprisingly quick (via Charoen Krung > Chan Road), allowing for easy travel to Bangna or Rama 9. However, Charoen Krung Road itself can be slow in the evenings due to Asiatique traffic.
- Walk: Walking to Asiatique is easy (5-8 mins), but walking to the BTS is not recommended due to the distance and heat.

Pros
- School Access — The ultimate location for families attending Shrewsbury International School
- River Views — Every unit faces the river; no blocked views
- Shuttle Boat — A reliable and pleasant way to commute to the BTS
- Privacy — Low unit count (294) ensures a quiet, exclusive atmosphere
Cons
- Road Traffic — Charoen Krung is a two-lane road that gets jammed easily
- Distance to CBD — Without the boat, it feels physically far from Sathorn/Silom
- Retail — While 7-Eleven is nearby, major supermarkets require a short drive
The Bottom Line
In 2026, Menam Residences remains the "Shrewsbury Family HQ." It is the default choice for parents who want their children to have the shortest possible school run. If you prioritize river views, school proximity, and a peaceful environment over the hustle of the city center, this is the premier choice on the Charoen Krung waterfront.
