Overview
Supalai Monte II is the younger, slightly more refined twin to the original Supalai Monte @ Viang. Completed in 2018, this 32-story tower dominates the corner of the Chiang Mai-Doi Saket Road and the Superhighway. While it shares the same massive scale as Monte 1, Monte 2 is often praised for its updated "Resort" feel, particularly its unique inclusion of a half-court basketball area - a rare find for Chiang Mai condos.
The project is essentially a "self-contained city." Positioned directly opposite the entrance to Central Festival, it offers residents the ultimate lifestyle of convenience. It targets those who want the prestige of a high-rise with the security and professional management that the Supalai brand is known for.
Developer
Supalai Public Company Limited is one of Thailand's most stable national developers. They are known for energy-efficient designs (using heat-reflecting glass and natural ventilation) and for providing significant communal space. Their management of Monte 2 is highly professional, ensuring that the 5th-floor pool deck and the rooftop Sky Garden remain some of the best-maintained facilities on the east side of town.
Location & Transit
Monte II is situated at the "elbow" of the city's major highway intersection, making it the perfect hub for regional explorers.
| Station | Line | Distance | Walk | Motorbike |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Central Festival | Mall | 200m | 3 min | 1 min |
| Arcade Bus Station | Regional | 500m | 6 min | 2 min |
| Star Avenue | Food/Drinks | 150m | 2 min | 1 min |
| Old City (Tha Phae) | Culture | 3.5km | N/A | 10 min |
Tip: Traffic at this intersection can be intense. However, because you are so close to Star Avenue, you can simply walk to dozens of international restaurants, a 7-Eleven, and several bars without ever needing to start your car.

Pros
- The 360-degree Views - Units on the higher floors offer staggering views. You can see Doi Suthep to the West and the Doi Saket mountains to the East.
- Superior Facilities - The combination of a massive infinity pool, a proper sauna, and the basketball court makes it feel like a private club.
- Digital Nomad Ready - The building is wired for high-speed fiber (SINET/3BB), and the 5th-floor co-working areas are excellent for remote work.
- Professional Security - Triple-layered security (Gate, Lobby, Elevator) makes it a very safe environment for solo residents.
Cons
- "Elevator Lottery" - Like Monte 1, the three lifts can get very busy during peak hours. Expect a 2-5 minute wait during the morning rush.
- Highway Hubbub - The location is a transport hub, which means constant traffic noise. If you are sensitive to sound, choose a pool-facing or high-floor unit.
- Standardized Decor - Unless renovated by the owner, units follow the standard "Supalai" furniture package, which can feel a bit corporate and plain.
- Strictly No Pets
Best For
- Active Professionals - Who will actually use the gym, pool, and basketball court.
- Expats with Cars/Bikes - The easy access to the Superhighway and Doi Saket road makes this the best starting point for road trips.
- High-Rise Enthusiasts - Those who want the "Bangkok" lifestyle - living high above the clouds with a mall at their doorstep.
The Bottom Line
Supalai Monte II is "The Modern Hub." It is arguably the most convenient place to live in Chiang Mai if you value infrastructure, safety, and shopping. While it lacks the "village" charm of Nimman, it provides a high-efficiency, high-luxury lifestyle that is hard to beat for the price.
