Tallest Unoccupied Buildings in the World

10. Sathorn Unique Tower
This creepily nicknamed “Ghost Tower,” otherwise known as the Sathorn Unique Tower, is an unfinished building in Bangkok, Thailand that is now a favorite destination for urban explorers. The building was constructed during a boom in the 1990s, but progress was halted in 1997 following a market crash. It has been left untouched ever since.
Its only visitors now are copper wire thieves, graffiti artists, and curious urban adventurers who are doing it for the ‘gram. In 2014, the body of a Swedish backpacker was found hanging on the 43rd floor, leading some to believe that the Ghost Tower is actually haunted.
