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
