in the original 1933 king kong, the beast fell off the empire state building

in the '76 remake, the beast fell off the world trade centre

do you think there is a case to set the climax of the story in thiland and the beast fall of the petronas building?

No way Pedro!!

It has to be back to The Empire State. World Trade are obvious ly a none starter, the whole essence of the film's climax is set in New York. I do think they ought to make Kong bigger though. In the original 1930's film, they had to re-evaluate how big he was as he was swamped by the Sky Scrapers.

Kong most definatly meet his demise at the Empire State Building, just to keep faithful to the original!
