High above the city, on the 75th floor of King Power Mahanakhon, something wild has opened its gates. It’s just not any ride; it’s the world’s first extreme leaning ride known as Mahanakhon Bangkok I-Tilt.

Picture this: you’re strapped in, toes almost kissing the skyline, and then the platform tilts forward 65 degrees, leaving you hanging 296 metres over Bangkok’s rooftops.

The first to take it on? None other than Muay Thai legend Buakaw Banchamek, grinning like the fight was already won. He wasn’t alone. Thai celebs like Boy Pakorn, Anntonia Porsild, Aimm Sanpetch Kunakorn, Kim Thitisan Goodburn, Anchilee Scott-Kemmis, plus a crew of extreme sports junkies, all leaned into the madness.

There was even a “heart rate challenge” to see whose pulse could keep calm, and a VR setup for anyone who wanted a taste before going full tilt for real.

The ride itself is German engineered, built to test your bravery but also to keep you safe. An AI-controlled Auto Secure System locks you in, TÜV Nord has signed off on every bolt and bracket, and the whole thing meets strict EU safety standards. With the I-Tilt, King Power Mahanakhon is no longer just Bangkok’s tallest observation deck; it’s a global playground for thrill-seekers.

Open every day from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm (last call at 6:30 pm), tickets go for THB 800 by day and THB 900 at sunset. Price includes SkyWalk on the 74th floor and one trip on the I-Tilt. You can book it at kingpowermahanakhon.co.th. So, are you ready to lean into the void?
