Bangkok red

[Lorry]

This night, all the highrises are flashing red lights on top.

The skyline looks like a firework. 

This is new.

What's going on?

Maybe AoT is being subjected to a certification inspection by ICAO .

i think all structures over certain height and those within certain distance on approach paths near airports have to have red beacons at highest point.

Some buildings,  sometimes,  used to have these red beacons. But last night they all had them. 

(Even our taxi stand now has 2 of them, 3m above ground level - maybe left-overs)

I am curious whether they will be switched off again in a couple of days.

Taxi stand ?

something else is going on.

Yes,  since 2 nights, one night before all the buildings. 

I really thought maybe the lights at the taxi stand are some left-overs from the high-rises.  But maybe they are different lights altogether,  just look similar, because I see them close-up, not from afar.
