A Birds Eye view of Bangkok, a sprawling metropolis

Bangkok is one of the biggest cities in the world and it’s very hard to comprehend - at ground level it’s a mass of people, roads and cars. To get a better understanding of the scale of the city I’d recommend heading up the Baiyoke tower, one of Bangkok’s tallest buildings.

There are various observation areas on the 73rd, 77th and 83/4th floor. The first two are inside then the final one is the outdoor revolving viewing platform.

The whole experience is rather dated and hasn’t had work done in a long time which is the only drawback, the windows were very very dirty and the views a little obstructed. So I’d advise heading up to the outdoor deck first - it’s much easier to take photos and don’t have to deal with dirty windows.

The views were invisible and I also loved all the little quirks of this very retro building - is highly recommend it!
