Here are some of the best rooftop bars in Bangkok:
1. Sky Bar at Lebua State Tower
Sky Bar rooftop at Lebua State Tower is on many first-time visitor’s to-do lists. With a 360-degree view, there’s a good reason this bar sees a steady flow of out-of-town guests. The round bar juts over the edge and, at 63 storeys high, it’s the only place to be when the sun is setting over the Chao Phraya River.
2. Vertigo and Moon Bar at Banyan Tree
The Vertigo & Moon Bar at Banyan Tree Hotel is one of the most stunning rooftop bars in Bangkok and has been awarded several times as one of the best sky bars in the world. The view from the 61st floor is gigantic beautiful because here you experience an evening at eye level with the mightiest skyscrapers of the megacity! A true dream are also the ingenious, creative cocktails served in the so-called Moon Bar with a magnificent view. The prices are also appropriate for the exclusive environment. Since this sky bar is very well known in Bangkok, you should get there early for a good seat at sunset. For a romantic dinner, it’s best to reserve a table at the adjacent Vertigo restaurant, a unique experience high above the rooftops of the city.
3. Octave Rooftop Lounge and Bar
Octave Rooftop Bar is one of the most impressive in Bangkok by size. covering three floors at the top of the Marriott Executive Apartments on Sukhumvit 57, Octave offers a full 360 view of the capital with a great perspective on the entire BTS track and the usual traffic jams of Sukhumvit road. Fortunately, it is also effortless to reach by BTS.
4. Above Eleven
Thirty-two floors above Bangkok’s premier party street on Sukhumvit Soi 11, you’ll find Above Eleven, a chilled-out Central Park inspired rooftop bar, set out over 2 floors. As well as coming for a sunset cocktail, you can also experience their unusual Peruvian-Japanese fusion dishes. Around 10 minutes’ walk from the BTS at Nana, Above Eleven bar and restaurant is on the rooftop of Fraser Suites and can be accessed by the entrance at the back of the serviced apartment complex.
5. CRU Champagne Bar
The sky is the limit and so is CRU. The champagne bar elegantly sits in the Red Sky outlet serving some of the best champagnes in Bangkok, including the G.H. Mumms No.1 Pink Champagne, which is exclusively served only here. Not to mention, you can indulge in gourmet delights like Caspian sea caviar and foie gras while you sway to the tunes of the DJ. A cool venue for a first date.
6. Moon Bar at the Banyan Tree
On top of the Banyan Tree, you find a dual rooftop setting, where the luxurious rooftop restaurant is called Vertigo and the bar is called Moon Bar. Both are blessed with an outstanding 360-degree view of the Bangkok skyline, here you can enjoy everything from expensive champagnes and exotic cocktails to seafood and premium steaks. All of the absolute top class. The best time to visit the rooftop is for a Vertigo Sunset.
7. ThreeSixty Millennium Hilton
ThreeSixty Rooftop Bar at Millennium Hilton is a superb, rather under-appreciated, rooftop bar. This might be because, as seen for far, the bar seems to be inside an indoor panoramic cupola. This indoor bar has fantastic views as it appears to hang high above the busy Chao Phraya River, but it would not qualify as a rooftop if that were all.
8. Red Sky at Centara Grand at CentralWorld
While Red Sky doesn’t offer a striking riverside view, it has a pretty impressive 360-degree panorama view from the 55th floor of one of the most convenient locations in town. If you visit Bangkok, chances are you’ll end up shopping in the Siam area, where the largest and most trendy shopping malls of Bangkok are located, including Siam Paragon, MBK, and CentralWorld. Being on top of the latter, Red Sky is a great place to round off a day of retail therapy.
