Standing at the edge of the Bangkok cityscape are four derelict stairwells. Their simplistic uniformity and broken strength are an odd juxtaposition to the gleaming glass and steel around them. Reaching 40 stories into the sky they beckon at the eye and tease your imagination.
The earth around these towers is torn part with rusting steel reinforcment beams and huge chunks of broken concrete. The base of the towers is exposed at 2 levels below ground and the site has filled with water deep enough for fish to start living there. Access to the inner stairwell begins at level 3, requiring a mix of knee deep wading into the waters around the base, balancing on submerged concrete, climbing onto broken edges of the remaining floors, and scaling a rudimentary wooden scaffolding to get to the first flight of stairs.
Once inside, the first four flights are pitch black, causing concern for what waits above, then the light breaks through as you climb higher with a view at the summit to match the best sky bar in Bangkok.

Love it. Have you seen the abandoned overpass columns that are covered in graffiti? Worth a look soon as they are being pulled down this year. Thanks for sharing.
Hi cornishkylie, No I haven’t seen those I don’t think…. where are they, I’ll see if I can get there.
I’m not sure exactly, but here is a link to where I first read about it http://bangkok.coconuts.co/2013/11/04/corruption-expression-bangkoks-vanishing-stonehenge
Thanks for the link. Looks interesting. If the crazy street art seen around Bangkok is of interest I have some shots from the area around Ratchatewi which you might enjoy too.

sneakers shot rocks
cheers, probably my favourite. Nice overall sharpness and gives the impression of scale.
Yeah that sneaker shot was really something 🙂
