  <abstract>The application of prefabrication system for high-rise building construction in Bangkok was  studied. The scope of this study is limited to a consideration of precast or pre-stressed concrete.  Advantages and disadvantages of using prefabrication for the construction were differentiated using  the collected data performed by means of site visiting and interviewing of four construction projects  in Bangkok. A comparison between prefabrication and c~t-in-Elac~ system regarding construction  cost and time was also .accomplished through the use of estimating. The parts of high-rise building  which are appropriate to be prefabricated were recommended.  The results indicated that the majors advantages of using prefabrication system are repetitive  use of form work, better surface quality and simplicity in form work arrangement whereas the substantial disadvantages are scarcity of skilled form work fabricators, unattractiveness of joints aesthetically and need of heavy equipment. The construction cost and time of using prefabrication  system is considerably less than that of cast-in-place system. Stair and facade panel were found to  be appropriate to be prefab1icated. </abstract>
