<h3>The Architecture: A Pixelated Masterpiece</h3>
Designed by German architect Ole Scheeren, the King Power Mahanakhon stands out with its signature "pixelated" design, a spiraling ribbon of cuboid surfaces that wraps around the building, creating the illusion of a pixelated "cut" in its structure. This innovative design adds a modern, art-inspired twist to Bangkok's skyline, making it instantly recognizable and a popular subject for photographs.
<h3>The SkyWalk: A Thrill Above Bangkok</h3>
<b>SkyWalk Glass Floor</b>
One of the King Power Mahanakhon's main attractions is its SkyWalk on the 78th floor, which offers breathtaking 360-degree views of Bangkok. But what truly sets it apart is the Glass Tray — a transparent glass floor that allows daring visitors to stand, or lie down, and look straight down at the city below. This thrilling experience is not for the faint-hearted but is unforgettable for those who want a unique perspective on the city.
<b>Observation Deck</b>
The rooftop observation deck, known as the Mahanakhon Skywalk, provides stunning views of the entire city and beyond. From here, you can witness iconic landmarks, winding rivers, and the lively streets of Bangkok spread out in all directions. The sunsets from this vantage point are a sight to behold, casting warm colors over the sprawling metropolis.
<h3>Dining with a View: Mahanakhon Bangkok Skybar</h3>

Known as Thailand's highest restaurant and bar, it features international and Thai cuisine, expertly crafted drinks, and a chic ambiance that perfectly complements the sweeping views of Bangkok at night.
<h3>Ticket Information</h3>
Tickets to the Mahanakhon Skywalk are priced at approximately THB 880 ($25) per person for access to the observation deck and glass floor experience. Evening visits may be slightly more expensive due to the popular sunset views.
