Sathon

สาทร

Embassy row and banking canyon — glass towers stacked along a canal most commuters never notice.

Jing ler? — no way

That strip of water between Sathon's traffic lanes is the original Khlong Sathon, dug in the 1880s by a Chinese businessman who sold plots along it — the road is just the canal's leftover banks.

What to see

King Power MahaNakhon
A 314-metre tower that looks like reality is de-rendering around it.

A 49-storey luxury skeleton, frozen mid-heartbeat since 1997.
