Life and work have kept me busy but buzzing around the city. There are a few large towers scattered about, left vacant after their developers ran out of funds during the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis. Not sure if I'll be able to walk right in, but there is a decaying tower overlooking the river by the Saphan Taksin BTS station. It's absolutely massive with balconies protruding from its body.I think it was meant to be a hotel or perhaps apartments. I can take my time, it's been empty for ten years, and I don't think it'll be going anywhere soon.
Smack in the middle of the Pratunam Intersection there is a multi-story shopping plaza. Sprouting from its rooftop parking area are empty towers. From surrounding hotels you can peek at the building which is topped by arches and a view of the city. Again, not sure when I'll be able to go, but hopefully soon.

Great post. I will be spending a month in Bangkok next year, around April. I also run a blog with a lot of abandoned places... www.6000times.com
