It was only recently, however, that the building opened up its observatories to the public.
On the 78th floor, there is an observation deck where one can enjoy a view of Bangkok from over 300m above ground:

Glass floor
To get another view of the city, one can also walk on one of the world's largest glass tray floor which juts out over the edge of the 78th floor.

For the faint at heart, the 74th floor features an indoor observation deck as well.
Observatory details
The observatories, unfortunately, are not free.
A ticket for access to the 74th floor (only indoor observatory) costs 850 baht (about S$35).

There are separate ticket charges for children under the age of 12, and seniors above the age of 60.
The building is located at 114 Naradhiwat Rajanagarindra Road.
