Mahanakhon Bangkok SkyBar

Opening Hours: 11:30 AM – 3 PM (Lunch) | 5 PM – 1 AM (Dinner)

Dress Code: Smart casual

Among the top bars in Bangkok, Mahanakhon Bangkok SkyBar is arguably one of the most popular.

It is the highest rooftop bar in the city, and the country, situated on the 76th floor, at a mere 316 meters above from the ground.

It is quite an experience the moment you enter the building.

Even the elevator going up to the sky deck is awesome with its futuristic design covered with LED screens playing a video presenting the city as you climb to the top of the building.

When you get to the 76th level, you will be greeted by a view that will leave you speechless.

It is like a modern garden with a unique interior that is hundreds of meters above the ground.

But don’t stop there, be sure to check out the Skywalk & Skyrides.

Here is where you’ll find the transparent glass floor 78-stories high.

Dare to step on the impressive skywalk and enjoy a fine drink while enjoying a 360 degrees unblocked view of Bangkok.

The only thing is it can get very touristy, so don’t forget to buy tickets in advance or ask our concierge to arrange a booking for you.

Vertigo and Moon Bar

Opening Hours: 5 PM – 12 AM (midnight)

Dress Code: Smart casual

Located on the 61st floor of Banyan Tree Bangkok, this hotel rooftop bar in Bangkok is an excellent place to take your partner out on a date.

The ambiance of the place is very sophisticated, plus the sunset here is incredible.

You will fall in love with the sky as you watch the sun slowly set while the buildings glow like fireflies at night.

To differentiate, Vertigo is the alfresco restaurant of the place where you can sit and dine. They serve international food here, so it can cater to everyone’s preference.

Moon Bar, on the other hand, is the open bar one platform higher. It features a 360 view of the city.

They also have tables and seats available, but they only serve cocktails here.

Everything at Moon Bar is upscale, from the service to the drinks.

Sky Bar

Opening Hours: 5 PM – 12 AM (midnight)

Dress Code: Dress to impress (no shorts, flip flop, tank tops, sportswear…)

A lot of people and media publications rate this as the best rooftop bar in Thailand.

This includes The New York Times, Harper’s Bazaar, Condé Nast Traveler, The Telegraph UK, and many more.

Sitting on the 63rd floor of the Lebua State Tower, Sky Bar is very iconic and offers an impressive view over Bangkok’s Chao Phraya river.

First and foremost, it was featured in a film called “Hangover 2”. Second, its Greek-inspired look glowing bright gold at night is truly a memorable sight.

However, it’s not all looks and glamor here. Even the cocktails are great.

You would find yourself appreciating the drinks 250 meters in the air.

Whether you go here during sundown or dinner time, the sight here is perfect.

The Sky Bar should be a staple in your Bangkok itinerary at least once.

And if you want to dine there, go down a few floors to eat at Mezzaluna, one of the few two Michelin Star restaurants in Bangkok.

HI-SO Rooftop Bar

Opening Hours: 5 PM – 12 AM (midnight)

Dress Code: Dress to impress (no shorts, flip flop, tank tops, sportswear…)

They have special parties every month, and it is always packed with the hottest people (influencers, models, and even celebrities) and the best DJs.

This rooftop bar is ideal for meeting young and pretty women who know how to enjoy themselves.

This is very different from other rooftop bars because others are more of a date place, whereas this is where you can easily interact with others.

It is best if you book a table in advance to have a nice spot and view. Plus, it is a smart way to impress the ladies.

Tichuca Rooftop Bar

Opening Hours: 6 PM – 12 AM (midnight)

Dress Code: Smart casual

Do you want to know where the young and attractive Thai girls go for a fun night out in Bangkok? Tichuca rooftop bar is one of their favorite spots.

This is one of the bars that opened during the COVID period. Despite the timing, it remains popular up until today because of many reasons.

The first one is mainly the unique and cool design of the establishment.

It looks pretty with its pink-ish hanging lights coming from a tree making it the most instagrammable rooftop bar in the city.

Second, the music is very good. You might hear a mix of pop music with a little bit of tropical techno.

The beats of the place will make the people dance, but so will the good cocktails that they serve.

That is the third reason.

Not only do the drinks taste good, but the presentation is spot-on, too.

Lastly, the location is very convenient and is near many of the city’s top cocktail bars and clubs.

Go down and grab a taxi and you’ll be right in Thonglor and Ekamai, which are two of the top places in Bangkok for VIP parties.

Or you can skip the taxi and contact us to arrange a limousine to take you around town.

Regardless, Tichuca is definitely a casual rooftop bar Bangkok should be known for.
