This list of tallest buildings in Bangkok ranks buildings in Bangkok, Thailand, by height. As of October 2024, Bangkok has 190 completed skyscrapers over 150 meters (492 feet) in height, of which 115 are listed on the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat database.[1] Bangkok is ranked 13th in the world in terms of the total number of skyscrapers.
Bangkok experienced a building boom in the late 1980s and early 1990s when Thailand experienced rapid economic growth. However, the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis left a visible scar on the city’s skyline with many unfinished or abandoned buildings. The Thai economy rebounded in the early 2000s and many projects resumed construction. A new wave of building boom starting from the 2010s and continuing up to the present day was spurred by the development of the city’s mass rapid transit systems, with new development concentrated around MRT and BTS skytrain stations.
Magnolias Waterfront Residences at Iconsiam, completed in 2018, is Bangkok’s tallest building at 318 metres (1,043 feet), followed by King Power Mahanakhon Tower at 314 metres (1,034 feet). Several skyscraper projects are currently under construction or in the planning phase, including the 92-storey 437 metres/1,435 feet tall Signature Tower at One Bangkok complex, Dusit Thani Residences and Asiatique the Riverfront’s Iconic Tower. The latter is designed by Adrian Smith and Gordon Gill,[2] architects of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai.
