I would think that this tower would stand at least 8 metres tall, and it is quite imposing.
The tall four-sided tower is painted a dusky pink, with 'paintings' of the King of Thailand below each of the clock faces. There is a pyramidal style tiled roof over arched open sections, which look like they could have held a bell in the middle at some time in the past.
Below each arch is a plain, white clock face, with Arabic numbers for the 'quarter hours' (ie., 3, 6, 8, and 12), and black 'five minute' rectangular in between the numbers. The clock hands are black, thin, and only slightly tapered, with the minute hand 50% longer than the hour hand.
Just to the north is 'office' of the local traffic police, who control the roundabout when the traffic gets too chaotic.
