Bangkok's Ghost Tower

in #travel7 years ago (edited)

A risky but fun thing to do in Bangkok is climb the 'Ghost Tower' in Bangkok. It's never been 'legal' to get inside, however it wasn't difficult as the guards at the bottom would take a bribe. Since we climbed the tower, they've apparently shut this down so you may have to enter another way...

We had a great time exploring this creepy place throughout the day and night, shooting some time lapse videos and messing around. Enjoy!

About Sathorn Unique

The Sathorn Unique was built during the boom of the 90s as a towering 659 unit residential building with retail on the lower floors. The project, along with many others like it went bust during the 1997 Asian financial crisis, but unlike other developments, the money never returned and the building was left to decay. Today, locals believe the place is haunted.

A few years ago the abandoned building was supposedly closed after a Swedish man took his own life inside, however we heard the guards at the bottom were letting people in for a small fee, and so we went.

How to get there

The easiest way to get to the Sathorn Unique is via the BTS (sky train). Take the Silom line to Saphan Taksin and the building is clearly visible from the station, just a couple of minutes walk away. The entrance is from the side road on the left of the building when you face it.

Here's a map

Cheers!

This place is so eerie and creepy damn.
However, it was interesting to learn about

@freelancestories great post! I tried to go up there before but the day I went there were some people downstairs and they said no to me :/
But.. most of time that I looked up at the top of this building always saw someone up there, guess i need to try to go up again!

They've closed it to almost everyone now, which is a shame. Some of my friends got in a few weeks ago - I'm not sure how though.

Sneaked in :D

Wow Can't believe there are pretty good view.
I have seen this place when I was in BKK so creepy.

How did I not see this post! Super cool!
