According to Jo from skyscrapercityForum, He said that "I agree, that is worth preserving, but it will probably end up as yet another anonymous flat glass/painted concrete facade."
It always happens in BKK especially with non-public building because the prosperous real-estate development here are so massive and fast and in general people here don't think old stuffs are COOL. Moreover the location of each examples has a very high land price so it's not hard to guess what is going to happen soon. And the strong evidence is I never seen any wonderful facade located in non-conservation area here is kept properly. Most were torn down without care.
to John Cline : I'm sorry for my wrong spell. I don't know exactly about a name of that building but It's located in the area called SuanMarli near China town..
Nightingale-Olympic Building is a grandpa with 79 yrs. - China Town District
I really don't know the age of buildings but my dad he moves to bangkok for 40 yrs already and claimed that he saw all these since he's been here.
to Aml: thanks for links. I have the problem with photobucket lately that's why I skipped it.. but now I uploaded to flickr already
If I know more informations, I will add later.
to Puddles : I agree with you ...how could they even dare??????
