TotallyOz Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 When I first got to Bangkok on this trip, I was going downtown with some friends and saw an odd building. I asked the driver about it and he knew nothing. The building looked like it was in a state of flux. But, I was fascinated with it and wanted to learn more. Today, I saw this article with a great video.

paulsf Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 My condo is just a few blocks from there. I have a roof top swimming pool that has a great view of the building. I've been watching them build it for a couple of years. For this past year they have had 2 or 3 cranes on the top, hauling building supplies. But it never looked like they were getting to filling in the middle. I finally found out this spring that this is the design. It's a fascinating building, but it seems a bit scary as it looks incomplete. This area is really up and coming with lots of building.

Alexx Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 It got me confused, too, until I read about it. Now I think it's pretty cool. TotallyOz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinapu Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 perfect landmark , visible from far and wide, unobstructed by nothing. I enjoyed looking at it from Bearing BTS platform and Preah Vihar hill in Muang Boran / Old City / in Samut Prakhan. Gives a good sense of where we are in Bangkok. And conveniently located is somebody wants to jump from the top, cemetary is right under it TotallyOz and ChristianPFC 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
