With 314.2 metres and 77 floors, the MahaNakhon Tower is Thailand's tallest tower. It is located in the business district of Silom, in the city of Bangkok. It is even a little higher than the Eiffel Tower (which measures 300 metres). Very impressive!

A place of choice
Even if it is located in a business district, it will not house offices or the city’s companies. Instead, it will be a hotel and a luxury residence for people with means. Convenient, considering its location, for the busy people of the city, or people on a business trip for a few days.
Launching with great pomp

A gigantic set of sound systems and lights of all colors were installed on the building, to the spectators’ delight.
