There’s dozens of skyscrapers Towering the skies of Bangkok but by far the tallest and most impressive has got to be The Baiyoke Tower II which was opened in 1998 and is about 310 metres high.
It’s
also the 26th tallest building in the world. In fact, there’s roughly
2060 steps from bottom to top and it would take you over an hour to
reach the top on foot - so much, much easier by lift!
Architecturally
speaking, the piling of the building runs a staggering 60 metres deep
underground, easily the height of a 20 storey building. Go up the lift
to the 77th floor and from there you will find another lift to the 84th
floor for the revolving deck.

When
you get there, you will understand why the viewing area is so
attractive to both locals and foreign tourists alike. The views are
simply amazing and up a little further is the wicked revolving deck
that lets you enjoy the whole of Bangkok so far as your eyes can stretch.
Don’t
forget to bring your camera as there’s some great photo oppornities and
when you’re finished, there’s a nice little bar up there for you to
sit, have a cold one and take in the great view.
