Banharn-Jamsai Tower, Observation tower in Suphan Buri, Thailand.
Banharn-Jamsai Tower is a 123 meter tall observation structure in Suphan Buri Province featuring multiple viewing platforms and telescopes offering views across the surrounding landscape. The building spans four distinct levels with souvenir shops, a food center, and displays about the region's past.
The structure opened in December 1996 and was named after former Prime Minister Banharn Silpa-archa and his wife Jamsai, who supported regional development efforts. The naming honored their contributions to improving the province.
The tower blends contemporary design with traditional Thai elements, showing the connection between past craftsmanship and modern engineering techniques visible in its structure.
Access to the viewing platforms is by elevator, with different levels spread throughout the building to allow flexible exploration. Wear comfortable shoes and bring water, especially on hot days when spending time at height.
Inside the tower sits Thailand's highest clock mechanism, which marks time for the entire province from its position at the top. This remarkable technical feature often goes unnoticed by visitors.
