Older houses off Thong Lo and Ekkamai, now overlooked from above
Detached houses and townhouses built before this area filled with condos used to worry only about the neighbour next door, at roughly the same height. Today many of them have a tall condo right behind the fence, so the privacy problem has changed direction: people no longer look in at eye level, they look down from above. A sheer that used to be enough for daytime stops being enough, because from a height you can see well into the room. Wooden blinds help here, since the slats can be angled to block the view from above while still letting some light in. For an upstairs bedroom that simply needs to close off completely, a dim-out or blackout roller is the cleaner answer.
