I watched it being built from an office on the 27th floor opposite...it is the most amazing skyscraper I have ever seen along with the Banyan Tree Hotel which I ran up in 15 minutes. Bangkok's buildings are the most heterogenious mixture of different styles in any city in the world but some of them are jews of originality and imagination.

I have just been there a few days ago and I have to say that it’s breathtaking luxurious. The elevator is silent, very quick and you don’t even feel it moving. The whole interior is so nicely done. I went to their restaurant at the 76 floor and the food and service was amazing. The views were incredible and the rooftop bar had amazing cocktails. There’s even a glass panel hanging over the edge of the building you can walk on. Amazing building👏

Mahanakhon is the new iconic tower of ASEAN. Bangkok has been the MOST VISITED city in the world for 2 years in a row. The number of tourists in Thailand ranks the top 10 in the world surpassing Malaysia. I don't know why the Malaysians like to compare and show off when talking about Thailand.

Joe TechNerd has shown us that a Malaysian is still a Malaysian, never accept the dirty truth about himself and his country. By saying "nothing defeats petronas towers" is pretty much showing off and nonsense. And please speak like an educated person by not using the offensive language. Well, the dirty neighbours like Malaysians, like you, never respect other people anyway, so why bother asking respect from the person like you. And Stop making Malaysians even more PATHETIC than they already are. And speaking of the corrupt government, who are you to speak, a citizen suffering from the Najib government with 1mdb. By the way, how about the devalued Ringgit? LET ME LAUGH.....

@travisspencer3497 6 жыл бұрын

Maron Takahashi I think I agree with you. I think it's a bit impolite to talk about the Petronas towers while the video is all about MahaNakhon. By the way, don't need to fight with them. Not all Malaysians are bad. I have a lot of Malaysian Chinese friends, they're very nice.

@travisspencer3497 6 жыл бұрын

Been to both places, Thailand and Malaysia are beautiful countries. Thailand has more visitors because it has better and more various travel destinations and more delicious foods. Bangkok is like 5 times bigger than KL. MahaNakhon tower, in my opinion, is the most beautiful and modern building in Southeast Asia.

It's built on a cemetery. The land acquisition is questionable. Also, while they were still building the foundation an elephant being used to haul fell into a hole and was crying/ screaming.
