Pearl Bangkok

This building might have folks in Ari thinking they’re in London because of a design that is utterly similar to the famed 30 St Mary Axe (also known as The Gherkin). But owner Pruksa Real Estate rejects the plagiarism and proclaims that the shape of the building is inspired by a pearl, reflecting the owner's vision for Thailand as the Pearl of ASEAN. The 25-story edifice was designed by Palmer and Turner. A smaller structure in front, called Mabe Dome, acts as a multi-functional space that has held a wide range of events.
