Not really an eagle’s eye actually, or it would have to be a low flying eagle and well, never saw any eagle in Bangkok.

The photos that I will post here have been taken from buildings, high-rise buildings preferably.

The first one was taken from the tallest building in Bangkok, the Baiyoke Tower II, 328 m tall, and shows a guy looking down, preparing himself to do his window cleaning job. He is sure not afraid of heights…

The next one shows the second tallest building in Bangkok, the State Tower, 247m, partially hidden by the Chartered Square building at the end of Sathorn Road.

The next one shows a pretty tall building next to the Chao Phraya river, but this one will not go in the record books as the tallest building in Bangkok, but maybe as the tallest unfinished building in Bangkok. It is actually a skeleton of a building abandoned after the 1997 Asian financial crisis.

And here it is again, but now at the left side of the photo so that you can see on the right side, the skytrain line that ends up at the newly opened Wongwan Yai station. The station that you see was the last one before extending the line, just before the Thaksin bridge on the Chao Phraya river, the Thaksin station. You can also take taxi-boats there.

And the last one shows, at a distance, one of my favourite bridge, the Rama IX bridge, that you will have to take in order to go to the South of Thailand, to the beaches of Cha-Am, Hua-Hin and Phuket. The tall building next to it houses the headquarters of the Kasikorn Bank (formerly known as Thai Farmers bank). And you can also see the tollway along Rama III.
