This giant pineapple is 16 meters tall and is located at The Big Pineapple, which is a tourist attraction and working farm near Nambour, Queensland, Australia. They have tours, rides, shops, restaurants, and exhibits. I believe you can go inside the pineapple and get a view from the top. There is some history behind the attraction on Wikipedia.
There is another giant pineapple not too far away in Gympie at a vacant gas station. It looks to rival The Big Pineapple in size. I don't know the size of this one, though.

Bathurst, South Africa claims to have the "biggest Pineapple in the World!" This one measures 16.7 meters high and has 3 floors, complete with a gift shop, and an observation deck.

This awesome building exists somewhere in Thailand between Cha-am and Phuket. That's all I've been able to find out.

Great blog, photos and articles. Very informative. Thank you for sharing and keep up the great work. Rick
Thank you very much, Rick. That's always nice to hear.
I love your mission- who would have thought there'd be so many big pineapples in the world? Have just added a big avocado to my list of big things seen in the flesh- we didn't even know it existed until we drove past it!
