For its height and an awesome name. Jewelry Trade Center!
RafflesCity April 8th, 2003, 02:21 AM 7/10
I love the slimness, which creates a slab look and the setbacks.
But the facade is just so dull!

It's nice, but the top is a bit plain. Is it Bangkok's tallest?
AtlanticaC5 August 22nd, 2003, 04:54 PM 6.5/10
Liz L August 22nd, 2003, 08:35 PM 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:)

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.

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

Scruffy88 January 9th, 2006, 01:27 AM 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.
