Some current construction sites in Bangkok are of biblical dimensions and only from afar you can see the entire construction site.
Bangkok One
The area that used to have Lumpini Night Bazaar (discontinued 2010) and Lumpini Boxing Stadium (demolished around 2016) is now a construction site and will become Bangkok One (everything: mall, hotel, offices, condominium).
Before construction started, the area was accessible to public. Here some pictures I took on 21jul2017:
And there was at least one concert/event that took place on the empty plot.
Current (6jan2020) view from Pinnacle Lumpini Hotel:
Bang Sue railway station
Bang Sue railway station will be come the main railway station of Thailand and replace Hua Lampong (which will then become a museum or be used only for local trains). Aerial view of main entrance (E side):

The new Thai Parliament Building (Thai: Sappaya-Sapasathan สัปปายะสภาสถาน) in Kiak Kai เกียกกาย is still under construction. Picture by drone from West, Chao Pharaya river in front and Baiyok tower right back:
