Today, Sinn Sathorn Tower is the 31st tallest building in Thailand. It was opened as a rental building. The location of the commercial offices, in 1997 was used as a filming location for the James Bond series, Tomorrow Never Dies by assuming the head office of Elliot Carver (Jonathan Pryce) in Saigon, Vietnam, where James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) jumped from the top of the building, along with Wai Lin (Michelle Yeoh) by the handcuffs. This is another highlight scene in the film.[1][2][3]
