The Chinese will love it
I think you're correct. China is emerging from the rural rustic look and I would think stainless and glass will excite them more than traditional Thai architecture. Pete

It reminds me of the telecom tower in Kuala Lumpur, the one with revolving restaurant, Menara KL I think it's called. But at least that doesn't look too out of place in the middle of a bustling city, and it dwarfs in comparison to Petronas TT nearby, and all the high rise hotels and condos and offices. This one just sticks out like a VERY VERY sore thumb.
4 years on, and this still appears to be on the table. I've just read:
Members of municipal councils in all three districts and other relevant officials have approved a motion to apply for permission to to build a “Sky Walk” use area on Hin Lek Fai Mountain. The Department of Public Works for Prachuap Khiri Khan Province now needs to decide on a budget and design for the project.
Alternatively they could just renew/repair the existing viewpoints and paths. It would cost a lot less, though not so good for some personal bank accounts.
