ITF VANTAGE POINT

Capturing Bangkok from skyscraper has always got us addicted. There’s always something special from every corner of building. Well, that’s what make us always try to make journey in finding “emergency exit” door in high rise building.

Some buildings in Bangkok are truly give you “free pass” for taking any shot from their rooftop. One of them is ITF tower and ITF Silom Place building that located in Silom road. This building is situated between BTS Sala Daeng and Chong Nonsi. You can’t miss it when walking in Silom road. Check out this maps to find out the exact location.

For ITF Silom Place, just go inside the building next to small supermarket inside and take the elevator. Straight to 35th floor, you’ll find like small park/terrace that built for building residence. From this spot, you can capture Silom Area. That park also divided into 2 areas, so you can explore both of them.

Make sure you bring your own snacks, drinks, and no littering. Always be careful, and this park will be closed around 9PM.

From the ITF Tower, this would be quite challenging, as access actually restricted. All you need to do is accessing their elevator to their top floor. Once arrive, find the emergency exit that will lead you to their rooftop. Need to remember that the rooftop is kinda messy, and they have like almost 2 meters wall in the edge. Unless you have like high tripod, it’s unlikely to shoot any long exposure shot in this spot.

Got your attention now to try taking the shot from here? If yes, please remember, always be very careful. Though some buildings are free to enter, doesn’t mean that you can show off to its staff or security what you’re intending to do. Always give them genuine smile, avoid contact (unless you can speak Thai), and respect others by not littering the place.

Happy let’s get lost! 🙂
