MahaNakhon's spectacular grand opening
Bangkok's skyline was brightly lit last night thanks to the grand opening of MahaNakhon, Thailand's tallest building.
The "MahaNakhon Bangkok Rising the Night of Light" light show drew a large number of spectators across the City of Angels.
US pop star Pharrel Williams was also seen in Bangkok. His "Williams Family Kitchen", opened in coperation with Dean & Deluca, is part of the building.
MahaNakhon is a luxury mixed-use 77-floor skyscraper on the business district of Sathorn Road. With the height of 314.2 metres, it is now Thailand's tallest building.
Pace Development, a listed developer, aims to turn this building into a new Bangkok landmark with contemporary architecture and urban design. MahaNakhon houses multiple levels of restaurants, cafes and marketplace; luxury The Ritz-Carlton Residences, a hotel managed by The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company in a collaboration between Marriott International and renowned hotelier Ian Schrager; and a multi-level roof-top Terrace Bar and observation deck.
