Ratchada-Rama 9 operates as a centralised transportation hub, providing the area with easy access to and from all directions. This key factor is widely responsible for the area becoming Bangkok’s new CBD. The Ratchada-Rama 9 location is surrounded by popular roads, including Rama 9, Sukhumvit, Asoke-Din Daeng, Ratchadapisek and Vibhavadi Rangsit, as well as Sirat Expressway – which connects to Chaloem Mahanakorn Expressway, heading to Bangna, and Uttrapimuk (Don Muang) Tollway, heading to Rangsit. Travelling along Chalongrat Expressway, one can easily connect to Ramindra, Kaset-Nawamin, and the Bangkok-Chonburi Motorway. This is indeed a golden location in terms of transportation, with immediate access to all areas outside of the city.

Due to the readily available and convenient transportation options, Ratchada-Rama 9 has seen a rapid expansion of office buildings of leading firms, such as AIA, Unilever, the Stock Exchange of Thailand and G Tower. Looking forward, the most anticipated project currently under construction at the Ratchada-Rama 9 intersection is The Super Tower. This imposing architectural masterpiece will stand 615 metres tall; it is set to become the tallest building in ASEAN and the world’s seventh tallest building. The building will house modern offices, a 6-star hotel, a state-of-the-art conference centre, premium food outlets, and Thailand’s highest observation platform. With its impressive design and construction, the 100,000-milion-baht colossus will serve a similar function to the International Finance Centre (IFC) in Hong Kong and Taiwan’s Taipei 101. The Super Tower will undoubtedly become a key landmark, helping to raise land value and further transform the area into a prime centre for investment.
