Bangla Suites – Stylish Living in the Heart of Patong
Bangla Suites
The evening of January 29th heralded the grand opening for the new Absolute Bangla Suites showroom on Soi Bangla in Patong. It was an occasion fraught with festivities, free drinks, and laden with quite a few of the respected members of Phuket’s upper crust. An altogether enjoyable experience which is becoming more and more common on our beautiful island, despite growing economic concerns.
However, such global issues seem to have skipped the minds of our hosts, the Absolute company, who in partnership with North Shore Real Estate, are building and selling one of the most highly sought after pieces of property in Phuket.
Named after the infamous Soi where it is situated, Bangla Suites is the epitome of luxury. Leaving the front doors of the complex, one simply has to take a thirty second walk and find themselves breathing in the party atmosphere that has made the tourist town of Patong so famous. It is also a stone’s throw from the lovely Patong beach. Being surrounded by fun night life, great cuisine, and coastal relaxation, it would be hard to regret purchasing a Bangla Suites home.
The showroom suite is 64 sq meters. It comes fully furnished with top of the line linens and sofas, two flat screen Samsung televisions, and a state of the art kitchen. The counter tops are all made from Egyptian Galaxy Granite, directly imported, and the artwork hanging on the walls is local and original. The cabinetry has a seven layer lacquer finish. Entrances to the balcony are available through the bedroom or living area, and once you step outside on your new patio, you won’t want to go back. Every suite comes with a built in Jacuzzi on the balcony.
Another nice feature about the suite is the customizable nature of the room’s mood. One can control the intensity of the lights for whatever feeling they desire, and the jacuzzi comes with its own built in control panel which lets you choose from several different colors. Red for those heated moments, blue for the times you want to just relax, or green on St. Patrick’s day. The front of the building will also have its own mood as well, with color changing lights to suit any occasion. This will definitely make the Bangla Suites building a real eye catcher.
Canadian architect Barry James Sullivan describes the Suites as “One of the most unique developments on the island in recent history.” The project is the only one of its kind in Patong. 54 luxury apartments each with their own jacuzzis, all of them beneath a helicopter pad roof, a five star restaurant able to seat 92 people, as well as a bar, swimming pool, and fitness center. You can work out, eat, swim, and drink while enjoying a beautiful ocean view afforded to you by being in the middle of Patong.
Everything about the showroom channeled the vibrant energy that makes Patong. The bright red cabinetry and linen, or the black polish of the walls, and even the see-through glass door leading to the bathroom are all tell tale signs that remind you of exactly where you are.
As standard practice with luxury apartment buildings, the higher you go, the better it gets. The penthouses of Bangla Suites are promised to be beyond our expectations. From what we’ve seen of the showroom, they probably will be.
The new purchasing concept that Bangla Suites incorporates is called fractional ownership. What it essentially provides is a very reasonable price for a very extravagant item. Fractional ownership allows you to hold a share in the suite of your choice on a given time frame. During the month(s) that you choose to pay for the home, it is all yours, along with all the services provided to full time owners. Currently, Absolute is offering a deal to buyers interested in trying out the fractional ownership concept. They will pay for the rental of a thirty foot long speedboat free of charge with the purchase of your suite. All you have to buy is the gas and beer.
If you enjoy staying in Patong that you are considering a permanent residence there, a place to which you can retreat whenever you like, then the Suites are the best way to go about it. “Bangla Suites offers you luxurious independence – a hideaway where you can do what you want, when you want, together with who you want!” This is the philosophy coined and preached by the Absolute and North Shore Real Estate marketing teams, and that is what should be considered by any prospective buyer.
Bangla Suites has almost fully sold out. A mere three months are left before construction is fully completed. Fractional ownership prices start at 600,000 Baht, and the superb penthouses are going for 18 million. For more information visit www.BanglaSuites.com
