Overview
Regent Home Sukhumvit 97/1 is the definition of "Smart Budget Living" in the Sukhumvit area. Completed in 2019 by Regent Green Power, this low-rise complex consists of six 8-storey buildings tucked deep into Soi Sukhumvit 97/1.
The "Regent Home" brand is famous in Thailand for one thing: the 28 sqm standard unit. By standardizing the room size and layout, the developer keeps costs incredibly low, translating to some of the most affordable rental rates on the Sukhumvit line. While it is located about 900 meters from BTS Bang Chak, requiring a short motorbike ride, tenants are rewarded with a modern, clean building at a fraction of the price of condos on the main road. It is highly popular among young office workers and staff from the nearby DKSH and Bang Chak Petroleum offices.
Developer
Regent Green Power is the king of the "BOI (Board of Investment)" condo segment. They specialize in building functional, no-frills condominiums that offer high value for money. Their construction is standardized and reliable, focusing on utility over luxury. The maintenance fees are typically lower than average, making it an attractive long-term hold for investors.
Location & Transit
| Station | Line | Distance | Mode |
|---|---|---|---|
| BTS Bang Chak | Sukhumvit | 900m | Moto (3 min) |
| Sukhumvit 62 Expy | Tollway | 2.0km | Car (8 min) |
| Bang Chak Market | Food | 850m | Walk (11 min) |
Commute Logistics:
- Motorbike is King: The 900m distance to the BTS is just outside the "comfortable walk" zone for most people in the heat. A "Win" (motorbike taxi) station operates at the condo gate and the BTS exit, costing approx. 15-20 THB.
- Car: Access to the Sukhumvit 62 Expressway is a major perk for drivers, allowing a quick escape to the city center or industrial estates.
- Soi Environment: Soi 97/1 is primarily residential with local houses and apartments. It is quiet at night but safe.

Interior Note: Regent Home units are known for their Closed Kitchens, which is a huge plus for Thai cooking. The layouts are extremely efficient, usually sold bare-shell or partially fitted, so interior styles vary wildly depending on the landlord's taste.
Facilities
Swimming Pool: Located on the 2nd floor, the pool is functional for laps or cooling off, though it can get busy given the high number of units.
Fitness: A standard gym with basic cardio and weight equipment.
Parking: Parking is unassigned and can be tight (approx. 30-35%). Double parking is common during late nights.

- Workplace Access — Perfect for staff working at DKSH, M Tower, or Bang Chak offices
- New Condition — Built in 2019, the building systems and elevators are still fresh
Cons

- Parking — Limited parking spots can be a headache for car owners coming home late
- View — Most views are of neighboring buildings or residential houses; no skyline views
The Bottom Line
In 2026, Regent Home Sukhumvit 97/1 is the "Budget Champion" of Bang Chak. It is the ideal choice for first jobbers, interns, or thrifty expats who want a clean, modern home without breaking the bank. If you are comfortable riding a motorbike taxi to the train, you save significantly on rent compared to living on the main road.
