BANGKOK — Carrying canisters of gasoline and torches, a well-dressed mob of interior decorators and international architects have torched the State Tower, purely for aesthetic reasons.
The angry mob apparently decided the Greco-Roman tower fringed with balustrades and topped with a golden dome housing gaudily decorated restaurants was an eyesore that could no longer be tolerated.
Reports that the group is currently headed to the “Robot Building” are unconfirmed.
