Overview
The Pano is the original "Rama III River Icon." Completed in 2009 by L.P.N. Development, it was one of the first luxury condos to prove that Rama III could compete with traditional riverside locations like Charoen Krung.
With 251 units across two towers, it features exceptionally large units and direct river frontage. Its private pier allows residents to access the Chao Phraya Express boat system—a unique feature in this car-dependent neighborhood.
Developer
L.P.N. Development (now known as LPN) built The Pano as a flagship to demonstrate their ability to compete in the luxury segment. The result was a building that attracted old-money Thai families who wanted river living without the noise of the tourist zones.
Location & Transit
The Pano sits directly on the Chao Phraya River along Rama III Road.
