If I remember correctly, the Elephant Building was designed by Bangkok's most famous architect, Dr. Sumet Jumsai. Other notable buildings of his are the Robot Building on Sathorn Tai and the Nation Newspaper "Computer" building on Bangna-Trat highway.

Its worth remembering that "Most famous" does not equal good.

His properties are interesting to look at, but as functioning commercial spaces, they are not very efficient.

Or on closer inspection, coming apart at the seems. :o

In the photo on the top of this page, if you look really closely, you can atually see miss-aligned structural concrete beams, window framework hanging at bizzare angles etc.

Computer building?

I pass the nation building daily and I've always thought it looked more like a golf bag.
