george Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 BMA hopes to construct world's tallest viewpoint tower BANGKOK: -- Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) is hoping to construct the world's tallest viewpoint tower in the capital. This tower will reveal Bangkok's spectacular scenes from the birdeye's view. "The BMA City Planning Department has surveyed the capital and has already come up with some recommended spots," Deputy Bangkok Governor Bannasopit Mekwichai said Sunday. She said the plan to construct the viewpoint tower in Bangkok was in line with Interior Minister Chalerm Yoobamrung's policy. -- The Nation 2008-04-28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilHarries Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 She said the plan to construct the viewpoint tower in Bangkok was in line with Interior Minister Chalerm Yoobamrung's policy. So anybody know what exactly is his policy and what is with this "hoping to construct"? Don't tell me, I know the script. It starts life as being the world's tallest but by the time the money has been skimmed off the project it falls short of expectations and dear old Chalerm and Sons Co. Ltd make a tidy package as part of his policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashacat Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I assume its not the worlds tallest building as in the current Taipei 101 and soon to be place in Dubai? I think the Burj Dubai is already the tallest, even though it is still under construction. (Sorry: off topic) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sibeymai Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 At least the toilets will be the best in Bangkok. Maybe it will be billed as the world's highest flushing loo. Truly a remarkable achievement for Mr. Happy Toilet and family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simcity Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Baiyok tower is the taller, not finish yet! Not really straight at the top, difficult to put a shaft for the lift... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirkGently Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Idiots. Why don't they settle for a path that can be walked on? View what? The filth of Patpong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundman Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Don't knock him. Chalerm only has a few years to complete his own versions of the Suwarnapumi fiasco. He is just trying to capatilise on the limited time he may have in office. What other reason is there to run for public office in this country?

londonthai Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 usually the observation towers are television towers (like the one in Kuala Lumphur) - as bangkok doesn't need one there is no point for the project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnyd Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 You would think they could find more useful ways to spend that money. Say, maybe they could get the 200km plus of BTS Skytrain completed? And will this be like Sawnnapoon where it takes 25 years to complete and then starts sinking into the muck... TIT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swindonabroad Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Totally agree with the waste of money sentiment. Repair the roads, even out the pavements, public toilets or wate bins would surely benifit the city more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chivo Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Reportedly the view from the 100th floor should be at least 13 meters in the smog... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
