Why go, and how to do it well
Go for the fourth floor. That's where the views open up properly across Suphan Buri and the flat countryside beyond, and it's the reason to make the trip. The tower went up in 1992 in honor of former Prime Minister Banharn Silpa-archa and his wife, and it wears its early-90s civic pride openly. Inside there are exhibits and historic paintings, including material on King Naresuan and Ayutthaya. An elevator runs to the top, usually with a staff member riding up to operate it, so nobody needs to tackle the stairs.
The second floor does drinks and is worth a pause. The third is a shop you can walk straight past. Outside, the grounds carry more weight than the tower alone would, with clipped gardens, hedge sculptures, fountains, a water park and space for kids to run. Weekdays are quiet. Come an hour or so before sunset and the light does the rest.

Reviews from Google
This gem is a must visit. It's cost effecient and has a beautiful scenic and quiet park. It's best to go just before sunset, the most breathtaking thing to see. The tower staff are all friendly and one staff member goes up with visitors, while operating the elevator. The historic paintings gives visitors insight about King N and what he did for Ayutthaya. The view is spectacular, but I prefer the evening view. It's the best.
On street parking. Professionally built. Upkeep/maintenance may need a little improvement in certain areas. Beautiful well manicured garden. I will add more pictures when I get my film develop. Yes I use film cameras too.
Great viewpoint of the whole city of Suphanburi, but some of the floors on the tower are closed.
