All I know is that it has been described as a top travel destination.
(The other destinations are: Ayers Rock; Golden Temple, Amritsar,
India; Petra, Jordan;  Macchu Picchu; Sydney; Taj Mahal; Grand Canyon;
Lhasa, Tibet; Blue Lagoon, Iceland).

Isn't that one of the buildings from the recent competition of UK
clothes store Rohan? The competition where you have to identify 10
famous places from small images to win clothes?

Hello.

It's the Chang (or "Elephant") Building in Bangkok, Thailand.


Specifically, it's "on the corner of Pahon Yothin and Ratchadaphisek
Roads, in the northern part of Bangkok called Chatuchak."

Here's a link to a picture that looks exactly like the one you are
interested in. The site belongs to a young gentleman who lived in
Japan for a while, and who also traveled in Asia. You may be able to
ask him where the building is.
