Height: 102
meters
Cost to
build: NA
Completion
date: 1997
Fast fact:
The building contains a swimming pool.
If there’s
one thing besides a smile that can represent Thai people, it's elephants.
From pretty
much anywhere in this dusty district in northern Bangkok, you can catch a
glimpse of this 102-meter-high jumbo building, with its eyes and tusks towering
above a busy junction.
As well as
highlighting the importance of elephants in Thai culture and history, the
building also nods toward Thailand's coming-of-age, with high-tech offices, a
shopping plaza and a floor of luxury residential suites.
This would
never make a list of the most beautiful skyscrapers, but there's no denying
Elephant Tower's place in local hearts. Plus, you just can’t keep your eyes off
it.
Sometimes I think none of us know what we really want, until we see someone else owning that very thing.
