Why visit Mahanakhon Observatory?

In Bangkok's Silom District stands the 314-meter-tall King Power Mahanakhon. Being a relatively new and unique tourist destination in Thailand, the attraction only opened to the general public in 2018. Among the attractions in this area are its top-floor view of the entire city of Bangkok and the dining options. The glass tray where we could see the cars passing beneath the foot, however, is what really draws people in. Apart from this, this tower has a lot of interesting features, making it a great place to visit with family and children.
