The Baiyoke Tower II, situated on the Rajprarop Road in the Ratchathewi district of Bangkok, Thailand, is the country's tallest building. It contains the Baiyoke Sky Hotel, the tallest hotel in south-east Asia and the third-tallest all-hotel structure in the world, with 673 guest rooms.
The building is 309m (1,013 ft) tall, or 328m (1,076 ft) tall if its mast is included. It has 85 floors, with a public observatory on the 77th floor and a 360-degree revolving roof deck on the 84th floor. Construction on the building ended in 1997, with the antenna being added two years later in 1999.
