King Power Mahanakhon

Name: King Power Mahanakhon
Address: Bangkok, TH

Building

King Power Mahanakhon, Postmodern skyscraper in Silom district, Bangkok, Thailand

Description

King Power Mahanakhon is a postmodern skyscraper with a glass exterior decorated with a pixelated ribbon pattern that wraps around its 314-meter-tall structure. The interior contains residential units in the lower sections, hotel rooms in the middle floors, and retail spaces plus observation and entertainment facilities at the top.

History

Construction began in 2011 and was completed in 2016, representing over five years of intensive development. The project marked an important moment in Bangkok's transformation into a city with modern high-rise developments.

Culture

The building houses apartments, a hotel, and shops, showing how Bangkok develops as a modern business center. This mix of different uses reflects how contemporary cities combine multiple functions in one location.

Practical

Access to the observation area is through a fast elevator that reaches the upper floors. Visitors should know this is one of the city's highest publicly accessible viewpoints, and queues are possible during peak times.

Did you know?

A notable attraction is the glass platform with a transparent floor at great height, giving visitors the sensation of floating above the city. This viewing position offers a direct, unobstructed look down at Bangkok's streets and buildings.
