This building is actually 1,076 ft tall if you include the ariel. Set on the stylish Rajprarop Road in the district of Bangkok known as Ratchathewi. (Is that where they got the name for the film Rattatui perhaps?) Built including 86 floors, the 85th floor actually rotates; this is the only hotel outside of Dubai to make the top five list.
The Building was completed back in 1997, with the Ariel being added two years later. In fact the height of the building seems to be in some discussion with the hotel website actually stating this is in fact a 309M building.. Come on guys, like its not big enough already without having to exaggerate!
However, in 2012 The Ocean One Tower will take the top spot as the tallest residence in the world at a massive 367M Until then Thailand has to be happy with 5th spot.
