For its height and an awesome name. Jewelry Trade Center!

[RafflesCity]

7/10

I love the slimness, which creates a slab look and the setbacks.
But the facade is just so dull!

it looks ok in some angles, but it looks boring in some angles 7/10

[weirdo]

looks ok. 6.5/10

[TropicalSQ744]

A little boring but its better than just being a box :) The facade looks normal, nothing really special about it

7.5/10

[huaiwei]

The facade does need better treatment...and it nearly became a box...6.5/10

[Labrador]

8/10 :)
It's nice, but the top is a bit plain. Is it Bangkok's tallest?

[Liz L]

7.5/10 - and maybe I wa a bit generous, because it looks best from a distance...

The indentations and the setback near the roof make the shape more interesting, and if those bands around the tower are decorative grillwork, that's a nice touch. The band of glass running up one side is also a nice touch of contrast.

But it is too broad and chunky broadside on to really soar well, that batch of antennas on the roof looks really tacky, and somehow the facade and glass somehow seem bland closeup, as if there needs to be more contrast....

Nope. The tallest is the Baiyoke Tower 2, which can be found in the Top100 section:)

[Trances]

slender slab
nice indents make it look sharpe and give depth
I like the Horz lines made by the windows and hwo it stands with only a few other talls around it

Too tall to be so plain. 7/10

Truly unremarkable.

Apart from the height, it's a totally ordinary building.

Has an interesting/varied facade and color scheme that I find appealing. Nice setbacks at the top. I'd either take that antenna off the top or add another one on the other side.

[Reflex]

Just fine. 7/10.

[Medo]

4/10 does nothing for me

[MattSal]

Hmm . . . very nice building, I can see why it's one of your favorites. I give it an 8.5/10. :D

[Sonic from Padova]

not bad! 7! :)

[Chibcha2k]

one of my favourites in Bangkok...actually is one of the most decent ones for me 9/10

[Jo]

It's very slim, which I like, but the facade could be more interesting. Probably my least favourite of Bangkok's 200m+ buildings.

[mr_storms]

slim but bland 7/10

[Scruffy88]

7/10. Ok design, good height. But bland on the whole. not too much to keep your interest. Must be the lack of tall buildings around it but it looks much taller than it is in the pics.
