What is the situation with the famous unfinished building "Ghost Tower" in Thailand?

According to the Daily Mail, Sathorn Unique, an unfinished building in Bangkok, Thailand, is a well-known unfinished building in Thailand. This building is known as the "Ghost Tower".

This 49-story skyscraper was originally used to build an advanced business center and hotel apartments. It can enjoy the beautiful view of the Chao Phraya River. However, it was affected by the 1997 financial crisis and was eventually sold. Give up completely and become a "ghost building".

Today, the walls of this 174-meter-tall building are covered with graffiti, and many illegal occupiers still live in it. Directly display advertisements. Such a good resource is located near the light rail. It would be a waste if it is not used.

This building is also popular with many climbing and photography enthusiasts. Some European and American colleagues once arranged to go to the building for a marathon. Thailand's unfinished building "Ghost Tower" has become a popular tourist attraction. Compared with the 77-story MahaNakhon tower (Metropolitan Skyscraper), the tallest building in Bangkok that was just completed not long ago, the Ghost Tower is really in decline.

In the 1990s, Thailand's economy was booming and its prospects were bright. Developers are watching towers rise from the ground - a true reflection of the country's wealth.

However, behind the booming economy was actually a large amount of debt that could not be repaid, which plunged the Thai economy into the Asian Financial Crisis in 1997. Due to lack of funds, all construction projects were suspended and the skyscraper dream suddenly disappeared.

Sathorn Unique is one of the victims of the Asian financial crisis. Many buildings that were started before the financial crisis were finally completed or were about to be completed, but this building has become a famous unfinished building in Thailand. Sathorn Unique was once considered to be one of the most beautiful buildings in Bangkok when completed, but now it has become a symbol of that ugly past.
