MAHANAKHON SKYWALK WITH FAST, STRIKING ELEVATORS OPENS

  MahaNakhon SkyWalk, including a glass-floor observatory in Thailand's tallest skyscraper, the 78-story King Power MahaNakon in Bangkok, opened in November, the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat reports. SkyWalk is reached by a video-themed glass elevator by Mitsubishi Electric. Including a rooftop bar at 314 m high, SkyWalk provides "unrivaled, 360˚ city views.” On the ground floor, visitors board an elevator that carries them to the 74th floor in 50 s. as a fast-paced, Bangkok-themed video plays on the cab walls. There, visitors find the indoor observation deck with interactive installations about Bangkok landmarks. The boarding area for the glass elevator, which takes visitors to the top, outdoor observation deck, is on a mezzanine one level up.
