Sathorn Unique Tower

Sathorn Unique Tower is a derelict skyscraper located in the Sathorn District of Bangkok. Its fame comes from being one of the world’s largest abandoned buildings. It was constructed to house 600 units but never saw completion after being halted in the 1997 Asian financial crisis. With the financers gone bankrupt, the building stays unattended. It has remained a huge attraction for adventure tourists. There are even reports of parties going on the top floor and parkour videos being shot here in the past. If you are looking for an urban adventure, the 49 story climb is sure to give you some chills and thrills. The best time to go is during the daylight hours and preferably with a friend. The building is structurally safe but years of neglect have left their mark. Carry a torch and when venturing in. Given the lack of an elevator, you will have to make the 49 story climb by the stairs, which takes around an hour for most people. The tower has acquired a reputation for being haunted and isn’t certainly for the faint of heart, but it will get your adrenaline pumping. If you make it to the top at the correct time, you can capture some amazing shots of sunrise and sunsets over the city. On the way back, you can explore several of the floors and admire some of graffiti that covers the whole tower. There are opportunities to try out your scaling skills if you encounter a locked staircase, but its not recommended. As this is an abandoned building, please ensure safety first.
