Sathorn Unique Tower

Bangkok · Thailand · Abandoned site

The plot is rumoured to sit on old burial ground — and in 2014 a man was found hanged on the 43rd floor of Bangkok's Ghost Tower.

The plot beneath Sathorn Unique is rumoured to sit on old burial ground, and it is that story that gave the skyscraper its name: the Ghost Tower. Guards and trespassers tell of footsteps in empty stairwells, shadows along the rows of windows and the sense of being watched. In 2014 a man was found hanged on the 43rd floor — a discovery that only deepened the reputation.

The development on the Chao Phraya river was to be a 49-storey luxury landmark, but froze in the Asian financial crash of 1997, and since then the concrete skeleton has risen naked above the city with empty balcony openings in every direction. The tower inspired the horror film The Promise and still draws urban explorers despite locked gates.
