Tourists are flocking to Bangkok’s mesmerising new water fountain

[lonelywombat]

Forget the Bellagio -- tourists are flocking from all corners of the globe to check out this stunning water fountain, also the longest in South East Asia.
It took six years for the 400-metre-long attraction to be designed and built outside a newly-opened shopping mall in Bangkok Thailand.
The high-tech laser and water display, which jets across the skies, is mesmerising to watch – check it out in the full clip above.

The fountain is kitted out with thousands of 2D, 3D and 4D water jets that rotate in intricate patterns, while cybernetic technology is used to shoot water out every 0.1 seconds in the shape of a flower.

When news of the Icon mall was posted here some months ago, there was, so I recall, a general "So what? Does BKK really need yet another mall?" response. That's a pretty fair observation, I guess, but in fact, the place is well worth a visit, with a particularly attractively laid-out ground floor food market in "traditional Thai" style and a bar/food outlet at the top of the mall with great views over the river. There's a free-of-charge ferry service from the other riverbank though the queues can be pretty long at peak times.
