What are the highest buildings in Bangkok?

What are the highest buildings in Bangkok? The famous one isn't the tallest. Number four: the Four Seasons Private Residences by the river, just under 300 metres. Three: Baiyoke Tower II, 304 metres. With its antenna, it would win. But antennas don't count. Two is the famous one: King Power MahaNakhon, the pixel tower, 314 metres. And number one, just a metre taller: Magnolias Waterfront Residences at ICONSIAM, 315 metres. We tell you everything you need to know about Bangkok. Follow for more!

Ranked by height to the top of the building itself, not its antennas, Bangkok's tallest tower is the Magnolias Waterfront Residences at ICONSIAM (315 m), one metre above the famous MahaNakhon (314 m). Baiyoke Tower II would win with its antenna. As of October 2026.

• Towers are ranked by their height from the street-level entrance to the architectural top: spires count, antennas don't (Council on Vertical Urbanism, formerly CTBUH).
• Number one: Magnolias Waterfront Residences at ICONSIAM, 315 m, completed in 2018, on the Chao Phraya.
• Number two: King Power MahaNakhon, 314 m, completed in 2016, wrapped in what its architect calls a ribbon of architectural pixels.
• Number three: Baiyoke Tower II, 304 m, from 1997, Bangkok's tallest for 19 years until MahaNakhon; to the tip of its antenna it reaches 328.4 m, higher than any of the others.
• Number four: the Four Seasons Private Residences, 299.5 m, completed in 2019, by the river.
• Next in line (as of October 2026): One City Centre (275.8 m, 2023) is number five in the database, and the Dusit Central Park residences tower (299.1 m, topped out, handing over homes in 2026) is set to overtake it.
