Chad

I think they should make it difference. The first one is looks like the one in Malaysia. The more different, the more being world recognized.

I like the 5th one, it looks like a 'Wai'. Although it looks extremely difficult to construct and I have no idea where the observation deck is.

When you put your hands together and greet someone in Thailand it is called a Wai.

Chad
June 13th, 2004, 11:32 AM
Well, obviously I'm sure it was designed to repressent the Diamond lah...

Chad
June 13th, 2004, 11:36 AM
The 9th...I'm not sure if this considered as the Bangkok tower or not, since it's located in Paholyothin Transit Center...

Lets just build all of them :D

Hitesh
June 13th, 2004, 12:29 PM
The one in the paholyothin transport centew is the most likely to be built right.

rayman
June 13th, 2004, 12:30 PM
the 9th one looks good with all the surrounding skyscrapers

so will Paholyothin Transit Center get build or not with all those skyscrapers??

Chad
June 13th, 2004, 12:32 PM
It's just a primary blue-print proposal, buildings design can be change.

that tower should be more in the city center rather than chaopraya river, because on chao praya river the highrises doesn't look that good I think+ not so many also, lots of white concrete tower there mostly. The only tower I like on chao praya river is the watermark 52 storey tower that will start construction soon. Peninsula hotel looks good also from the front but the back looks not so good.

Chad
July 25th, 2004, 03:34 PM
But for City's skyline pleasure view...Located on Chaopraya River would be better just to see the overal views of the whole skyline!!...;)

maybe Ratchada area would be okay.

Jo
July 26th, 2004, 01:53 AM
That design reminds me of the Eiffel tower.

Well, I'd rather see a beautiful tower with a futuristic, international design than an okay looking one with a Thai style. But that's just me. In any case I hope they don't go for a tower that looks like all the others around the world - build an innovative one instead, something like those that are being proposed in China.

Chad

I don't know if I like those rice towers or not.. could be interesting though and the skyline should apear really long as seen from that location. :okay:

These (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=120183) are the Chinese towers I was thinking about.

Chad
July 26th, 2004, 02:37 AM
haha...That would cost more than half of the whole Bangkok's GPD lah...:D:D
