Renowned UK news publication, The Telegraph recently featured the Sathorn Unique Tower, the mesmerising remnant on the Chao Phraya River banks of Bangkok. The Sathorn Unique Tower lies dilapidated just 500 metres away from the State Tower, known as its sister building. Once destined to be one of Bangkok’s most luxurious residences, the tower stands derelict 27 years after its construction commenced, as a “memento” of the Asian financial crisis in 1997. Located close to many hotels in Silom Bangkok, the tower is now frequented by graffiti artists, urban explorers and vandals. Those based in nearby accommodation options such as the Anantara Sathorn Bangkok Hotel will be able to see this tower on their city travels. The building became popularly known as the “Ghost Tower” upon finding the corpse of a 30-year old Swedish backpacker inside the tower. The article also mentions the legal attempts of Pansit Torsuwan, the person in charge of the building, to restrict urban exploration of the building.
