Sathorn Unique Tower also known as The Ghost Tower is an unfinished abandoned skyscraper in Bangkok's Sathon District. The building was built in 1990. It was planned as a 47-storey luxury condominium tower with 600 units but due to the lack of funds and other unfortunate events, including the architect being brought up on murder plotting charges. The Tower stands unfinished to this day. Despite being officially off-limits to the public, the building has become well known as an urban exploration destination. Numerous ghost tales have surfaced over the years with some locals believing the building to be cursed and whoever enters it will also be cursed, as the land upon which it sits is said to be a former graveyard. In December 2014, the body of a Swedish man was found hanged on the 43rd floor. The cause of death was determined as suicide. The building is still popular with international tourists but criminal charges of trespassing will be given to those attempting to enter. This is due to safety issues. The building is now used as a giant advertising billboard.
