Overview
Reference Sathorn-Wongwianyai is a major new addition to the Thonburi skyline, completed in 2024 by SC Asset. It is the first condo under the "Reference" brand, which focuses on "Design for Young Gen Leaders."
With 819 units across two towers, it brings a very modern, curve-heavy aesthetic to the Wongwian Yai area. It is famous for its "Moon Cave" rooftop pool concept and its proximity (130m) to BTS Wongwian Yai, offering a significantly cheaper alternative to living in Sathorn while being only 2 stops away.
Developer
SC Asset is a top-tier developer known for quality and after-sales service. The "Reference" brand is their answer to the modern, design-conscious buyer who wants the aesthetics of a boutique hotel in a large-scale residence.
Location & Transit
Wongwian Yai is the "Gateway to Thonburi."
| Station | Line | Distance | 🚶 Walk | 🏍️ Motorbike |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BTS Wongwian Yai | Silom | 130m | 2 min | 1 min |
| Sathorn CBD | BTS | 2 Stops | 5 min | N/A |
Commute Logistics: The BTS ride to Surasak (Sathorn) takes literally 5 minutes. For those priced out of the CBD, this is the most logical "commuter" location.
