The Elephant Building or Chang Building (Thai: ตึกช้าง, RTGS: tuek chang, Thai pronunciation: [tɯk̚˨˩.t͡ɕʰaːŋ˦˥]) is a high-rise building at Paholyothin Road and Ratchadaphisek Road in Bangkok, Thailand. It lies in the north Bangkok business district and Chatuchak District. The building is one of the better known buildings in Bangkok as it resembles an elephant. It was a collaboration between Dr Arun Chaisaree (Thai: ดร.อรุณ ชัยเสรี; RTGS: arun chai-seri) and architect Ong-ard Satrabhandhu (Thai: องอาจ สาตรพันธุ์; RTGS: Ong-at Sattraphan) The building has 32 floors and is 102 metres (335 ft) high. It was completed in 1997. The Elephant Building was ranked number four of the "20 World's Iconic Skyscrapers " by CNNGo in February 2011.

The elephant building consists of seven parts:

  • Tower A (offices)
