Elephant Tower (CLOSED)

The best views of this iconic building can be seen from many areas in Chatuchak. The vision of real estate mogul Arun Chaisaree and architect Ong-ard Satraphandhu, the edifice pays homage to the animal held in respect by Thais. Three towers act as the elephant’s trunk and legs, bridging seven floors of residential suites. The building also features elements depicting ears and tusks. It has been recognized as one of the most unique buildings in the world by CNN and named one of the world’s ugliest buildings by Architectural Digest.
