As the city expanded on the outskirts, the inner city has
nowhere to grow but up. The city has a registered 1,000 skyscrapers
and ranks 17th as the world's tallest city. [2] This does not

construction boom in 2007 and the coming years. Areas such as
Silom-Sathon and
Asok have for decades been Thailand's business center. During
the 1990s, Thailand experienced the world's highest growth
rates and underwent an economic transformation, Bangkok went
through dramatic changes. The Ratchadaphisek area was turned into a
business district which continued through the Asok area up north

turned into a mixed commercial and residential area. Wireless Road

Bangkok's Phra Nakhon district alongside Dusit is where most
governmental agencies and ministries have their offices. Most of
the well-known tourist attractions are also in this particular area
due its age. It is a no-skyscraper designated zone to preserve the
area where some buildings are as old as Thailand itself.^{[citation needed]} This
part of Bangkok is perhaps the most popular for tourists as most
notable attractions such as the Grand
Palace, Democracy
Monument, Giant Swing, Sanam Luang and other venues are located
here. Thon Buri also has its fair share of historic monuments
mainly located near the river, such as Wat
Arun. The Victory Monument

in Bangkok is one of the city's biggest bus destinations.
Although not officially a bus depot, its location in the centre of
city transits as many as 20 bus lines as well as a BTS Skytrain
station.
