Located right on the golden land in the south of Bangkok, Thailand, Sathorn Unique building with 49-storey design including a total of 659 apartments, 54 shops, was once expected to be one of the architectural works. "nail" of the land of the Golden Temple.

Sathorn Unique was one of the victims who suffered a miserable fate from the Asian financial crisis in 1997. At that time, projects on the way to invest in Bangkok urban development were forced to stop suddenly due to the Asian financial crisis. underfunded and too indebted.

Until 2015, Sathorn Unique was still not restored or removed, as a witness to the crisis that forever haunts the Thai people, existing in the midst of a magnificent Bangkok.

On the verge of sinking into ruin, more than 20 years later, it is no coincidence that Sathorn Unique is still forever incomplete. Strange rumors about this place and rare documents about the terrain and feng shui have made investors wary.

People in Bangkok say that the bad luck of Sathorn Unique is caused by "spiritual forces". Before the building was started construction in 1990, the ground was originally a cemetery. Not only that, Sathorn Unique is also said to have "broken" with the sacred temple Wat Yannawa located opposite.

Legend has it that in the past, the abbot of Yanawa temple warned the government and the investor that the feng shui of the building was not good, affecting the temple, but the project was still implemented. No one has verified this issue, but from that story, many people still believe that the court's fate today is because it "broken" with Wat Yannawa.

It was not until 2010 that he was acquitted and acquitted.

The story seems absurd but completely true, and it has highlighted the gloom surrounding the Sathorn Unique tower.

Since being abandoned, Sathorn Unique has become a temporary residence for many homeless people. After a few years of silence, this place again caused a stir in 2014 - a 30-year-old Swedish tourist committed s.uicide here. Accordingly, a local photographer once entered the tower to take pictures of the dawn when suddenly smelling a stench, he discovered the body of the ill-fated man.

Since the Swedish visitor's unexplained s.uicide, locals have noted that a few people have also come to the Sathorn Unique tower to end their lives. Since then, Sathorn Unique has been sealed and is considered a "death paradise".

Every time I climb up the building, I have to carry the Buddha image with me. Besides being afraid of ghosts, I'm also afraid of heights. There was one scene in the movie where I stood at the edge of the floor. I couldn't act, I didn't even cry. Then, acting coach Ngor taught me how to disperse my fear by making noise and focusing on it. I ended up finishing the scene."
