Rediscovering Wang Lang on Foot
People spend the majority of their lives going from home to work and back. It is important that your home is not merely a place to stay for the night, but a place for living and having quality of life. In recent years, the idea of a “walkable” city has emerged amidst the normalcy of car-centric development. Instead of relying on a car to get around, a walkable city is a city where you can reach essential services, such as hospitals, schools, post offices, and restaurants, within 15 minutes via public transportation or on foot. Not only can a walkable city save you time, it is also known that when people walk or commute by public transportation instead of using cars, there is less pollution and more local economic growth. Imagine a nice café near your home—you are much more likely to go there when you walk past it than when you are in a car. Moreover, you do not only support local shops, but also the community of people in the neighborhood. Here are some signs of a walkable city:
Walkable: Most aspects of daily life (groceries, cafes, parks) are located within walking distance.
Safe: Streets are designed to protect pedestrians from cars (wide sidewalks, lighting, crosswalks).
Comfortable: The environment feels like an "outdoor room" (shade from trees, benches, buildings that aren't too far apart).
Interesting: There are unique storefronts, public art, and a local identity.
In fast-paced Bangkok, a neighborhood that allows for opportunities to walk around has become unique. The San Sap Building–Wang Lang Soi 2 offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of a “walkable city" ecosystem, where healthcare, heritage, and high-quality living are all connected by a short stroll. Originally a palace area for royalty, and later the first hospital in Thailand, Wang Lang has remained a significant area in the history of Thailand. Just 1 km from Siriraj Hospital and Thonburi Hospital, this property sits at the heart of Thailand’s most prestigious medical district. Walk only 400 meters further and discover rich local cuisine at Wang Lang Market, or explore Bangkok’s history at Wat Rakhang Kositaram, just 1.1 km away. The Chao Phraya river piers are nearby, where you can cross to the other side and easily visit other historical places such as the Grand Palace and Wat Pho. While the lifestyle is walkable, the property also offers parking that accommodates up to 16 cars.
