Sky Bar Bangkok Rooftop at Lebua Hotel

Sky Bar Bangkok

Sky Bar Bangkok at Lebua Hotel is undoubtedly the most visited rooftop bar in the city. It was already famous since its opening for a unique location near the Chao Phraya River, a staggering height of 62 floors and mostly an iconic golden dome. After being featured in the Hangover II movie, it suddenly became a Bangkok must-do on every traveller’s list.

The Sky Bar stands majestically 62 floors above the rest of Bangkok, and wherever you stand on this rooftop, the view is breathtaking. Once you step out of the dome, the first thing you see is the large staircase leading to this bar itself, where a circular counter glows with ever-changing colour. Unfortunately, taking this photo from the top of the stairs is not allowed; a security staff ensures you won’t. Supposedly it’s to avoid accidents which I didn’t believe since I was not standing by the stairs but by a safe side mezzanine. I think they want to keep the copyrights to that angle.

Views from the bar area are no less impressive. With a sea of roofs down below and the skylines of the ever-growing skyscrapers of Bangkok divided by the mighty Chao Phraya River and the gigantic golden dome in the foreground, it’s hard to beat this feeling of being on top of the world.

However, what made Lebua famous is also its downside. Sure it’s expensive, but it always was, and a beer can cost you 320++ and an imported 400++ baht for an imported Italian beer (they don’t serve local beer anymore, I bet the price of 450 ++ per glass was too shocking). If you don’t know yet what ++ means, you’ll have to add a 10% service charge and 7 Government taxes; that would cost you 376 and 494 baht. A glass of wine would start at 640++. But the place has become so crowded you just stand there with your glass in the middle of an elegant crowd, slowly trying to make their way to the edge for the compulsory photo, nowhere to sit, no space to talk, not a romantic experience, and not the place you would pick to unwind at the end of a long exploration day.

The restaurant is unique and more spacious than any other rooftop dining in town, but very expensive and not as good as you would expect it to be for the price you paid. It could have been bad luck, but all the dishes arrived cold the day we had dinner there. Maybe the wind was stronger than usual at such altitude, but since the bill was the same…

So it is a nice place, a photo to take and a memory to bring back home, but if your idea is to sit down and enjoy the sun going down while having a romantic chat, you better go to Red Sky at Centara or Vertigo at Banyan Tree.
