44 Best Rooftop Bars in Bangkok in 2025

Bangkokโ€™s Most Famous Rooftop Bars

The list of Bangkokโ€™s Best Rooftop Bars keeps getting longer, and not many cities in the world can pretend to have more rooftops and sky bars than Bangkok. At this time, we count more than 30 โ€˜realโ€™ rooftop bars, restaurants, and a good dozen alternate ones. By โ€˜real rooftop barโ€™, we mean built at the top of a building with an open sky above, not just a terrace with a view.

Bangkok Rooftop Bars

Why are Bangkok Rooftop Bars so Popular?

  1. The fascination people have for high places and their fantastic views, and the photos they can post on Facebook,
  2. An excellent weather condition most of the year that allows running all year round (probably why there are not as many rooftops in Kuala Lumpur; it seems to rain a lot at sunset time)
  3. Rooftop bars can be great money-makers for a space the hotel owns anyway! Few seats, a bar and a sound system and here you go, 350 baht for a Singha, please (plus 7% tax and 10% service charge), and we are all happy to pay.

Wherever you are in Bangkok, there is always a rooftop near you! We know this list is incomplete, but we are growing it fast! See also our list of Phuketโ€™s Best Rooftop Bars.

Vertigo at Banyan Tree (Moon Bar)

Vertigo Rooftop Bar Bangkok

61st Floor โ€“ Location: Sathorn

Vertigo and Moon Bar at Banyan Tree Bangkok is one of those places I always enjoy coming back to, even after visiting dozens of other rooftops in Bangkok. Located on the 61st floor, the view is completely open, and it really gives you that floating-above-the-city feeling, especially just before sunset.ย The first time I went, it was the warm breeze and soft light that made the biggest impression. No glass walls, no big flashy lights โ€” just Bangkok stretching in every direction and a low-lit bar where you can sit with a drink and take it all in.ย

Sky Bar at State Tower

Sky Bar Rooftop Bar at Lebua Bangkok

64th Floor โ€“ Location: Silom

Sky Bar at Lebua is probably Bangkokโ€™s most famous rooftop bar โ€” and it definitely feels like it when you step out onto that golden-lit platform. Located on the 64th floor of State Tower, it became world-famous after The Hangover Part II, and even now, years later, people still come for that exact shot overlooking the curve of the Chao Phraya River.ย

Akara Sky Hanuman Bangkok

Akara Sky Hanuman Bangkok Rooftop

61st Floor โ€“ Location: Ploenchit

Akara Sky Hanuman is one of the most impressive rooftops Iโ€™ve visited lately. Perched on the 61st floor of One City Centre in Ploenchit, right across from Central Embassy, the view is nothing short of spectacular โ€” you get nearly a full 360-degree panorama over Bangkok. Itโ€™s the second-highest rooftop in the city after Mahanakhon, but the atmosphere is completely different. While Mahanakhon feels like a tourist checkpoint, Akara is spacious and more relaxed, but it still feels a little undiscovered. Thereโ€™s plenty of seating, and if you can, grab a spot near the edge to take in the skyline fully. Siam is in front of you, and Sukhumvit is behind.

  • Location: Ploenchit
  • Address: Room 58-01, 58-02 One City Center Building 58, 61 floor, Phloen Chit Rd, Lumphini, Pathum Wan, Bangkok 10330

Octave Rooftop Lounge

Octave Rooftop Bar Bangkok at Marriott Hotel Sukhumvit

49th Floor โ€“ Location: Sukhumvit

Octave is one of the rooftop bars I often recommend to friends staying in the Thonglor area. Itโ€™s perched on the 45th to 49th floors of the Marriott Hotel Sukhumvit, and the view from the top level is completely 360ยฐ, with no walls or glass panels to block the skyline. You really feel like youโ€™re floating above Bangkok. What I like about Octave is that itโ€™s a little more relaxed than some of the bigger-name rooftops. Thereโ€™s great music, a stylish crowd, and good cocktails โ€” but the vibe is casual enough that you donโ€™t have to overdress.

  • Location: Sukhumvit
  • Hotel: Bangkok Marriott Hotel Sukhumvit
  • Address: Bangkok Marriott Hotel Sukhumvit, 2 Ban Kluai Nuea Alley, Khlong Tan Nuea, Watthana, Bangkok 10110

Mahanakhon SkyWalk

Mahanakorn Skywalk Bangkok

78th Floor โ€“ Location: Sathorn

Mahanakhon SkyWalk is probably the most thrilling rooftop experience you can get in Bangkok โ€” and yes, itโ€™s a bit expensive, but once youโ€™re standing at the top of Thailandโ€™s tallest building, it feels worth it. Getting up there is half the fun. The high-speed lift zooms to the 74th floor in just under a minute, and the animated screens inside give the odd feeling that youโ€™re flying over the city. From there, you can explore a huge indoor observation deck before taking a glass elevator (or the stairs) up to the 78th floor, 314 metres above Bangkok.

  • Location: Silom
  • Address: 114 Naradhiwat Rajanagarindra Rd, Khwaeng Silom, Khet Bang Rak, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10500

Spire at Dusit Thani

Spire Rooftop Bar at Dusit Thani Bangkok

39th Floor โ€“ Location: Silom

Spire rooftop bar is the latest addition to the newly rebuilt Dusit Thani Bangkok, and it made a strong impression during our visit. Located on the 39th floor and spread across three levels, the venue is modern, spacious, and easy to access via two lifts. Two floors feature large terraces with lounge seating, while the top floor is an open-air space with the iconic golden spire in the centre, a nod to the original hotel.

Spread across the 57th, 58th, and 60th floors of Empire Tower in Sathorn, this is the highest Nobu in the world, with an incredible 360-degree view over Bangkok, including the Chao Phraya River, Mahanakhon Tower, and even the green patch of Bang Krachao in the distance.

Le Du Kaan is one of the most exciting new rooftop restaurants in Bangkok right now. Set on the 56th floor of Empire Tower in Silom, itโ€™s the latest creation from Chef Thitid โ€œTonโ€ Tassanakajohn, whose original Le Du restaurant โ€” just across the street โ€” earned a Michelin star and international recognition for its creative take on Thai cuisine.

Tichuca Rooftop Bar in Bangkok

46th Floor โ€“ Location: Sukhumvit

Tichuca is one of the busiest and most talked-about rooftops in Bangkok. It sits on top of the T-One Building on Sukhumvit Soi 40 and spreads over several small floors connected by a narrow staircase. Itโ€™s a bit of a climb, but once you get to the top, youโ€™re rewarded with some great views and one of the most unique bar settings in the city.

Hi-So Bar at So/Bangkok

Hi So rooftop bar at So Sofitel Bangkok

26th Floor โ€“ Location: Sathorn

HI-SO Rooftop Bar is one of the few places in Bangkok where you get a full view of Lumphini Park from above. Iโ€™ve been a few times, and that mix of greenery and skyline always makes this rooftop feel a bit more special, especially in the late afternoon when the sun starts dipping behind the city.

  • Location: Sathorn

ThreeSixty Millennium Hilton

Three Sixty Rooftop Bar at Millennium Hilton Bangkok

32nd Floor โ€“ Location: Sathorn

ThreeSixty at the Millennium Hilton is one of those rooftop bars that often gets overlooked, which is surprising considering how good it actually is. Itโ€™s located just next to ICONSIAM, and the view over the Chao Phraya River is truly fantastic โ€” especially around sunset when the boats are moving slowly below and the city lights start to come on.

  • Location: Thonburi
  • Hotel: Millennium Hilton Bangkok

Eagle Nest at Sala Rattanakosin

Eagle Nest at Sala Rattanakosin

5th Floor โ€“ Location: Old City

Eagle Nest is one of those rooftops I keep going back to. Itโ€™s not high up like many others in Bangkok, but the view is hard to beat. Located right on top of Sala Rattanakosin Hotel, the bar looks directly across the river to Wat Arun, and just behind you is Wat Pho. When the sun starts to set and the lights come on, the view becomes quite special.

  • Location: Old Town Riverside
  • Hotel: Sala Rattanakosin
  • Address: 39 Maha Rat Rd, Phra Borom Maha Ratchawang, Phra Nakhon, Bangkok 10200

Paradise Lost

Paradise Lost Rooftop Bar in Bangkok

25th Floor โ€“ Location: Siam

Paradise Lost Rooftop is a bit of a hidden gem on the 25th floor of Siam@Siam Design Hotel Bangkok, just a short walk from MBK and Siam Discovery. With views over the National Stadium and even Wat Saket in the far distance and a colourful two-level design, itโ€™s one of Bangkokโ€™s little hideaways. Despite its good location, itโ€™s still under the radar โ€“ no crowds and great prices, especially during Happy Hour (6 to 8 pm).

CRU at Centara Grand

CRU at Centara Grand

58th Floor โ€“ Location: Siam

CRU Champagne Bar is one of Bangkokโ€™s most exclusive rooftop experiences โ€” and definitely one of the most memorable. Located on the 58th floor of Centara Grand, itโ€™s just a few floors above the more casual Red Sky Bar, but the change in atmosphere is quite dramatic. Up here, itโ€™s all about Champagne, panoramic views, and a refined, high-society vibe. The name CRU comes from the French wine classification system and is pronounced โ€œcrew,โ€ not C.R.U. Itโ€™s designed for people who enjoy their bubbles in style โ€” and yes, the Champagne menu is extensive, with options ranging from around 600 to 1,000 baht a glass. Once in a while, itโ€™s a nice treat.

Red Sky at Central World

Red Sky Rooftop Restaurant and Bar in Bangkok

55th Floor โ€“ Location: Siam

Red Sky has been around for a while, and itโ€™s still one of the better rooftop bars in the Siam area. Located on the 55th floor of Centara Grand at CentralWorld, the 360-degree view is all around you โ€” not quite as high as some others, but central enough that you get a wide-angle look at Bangkokโ€™s skyline. What makes Red Sky stand out is the curved design of the rooftop. The layout gives every table a good view, and thereโ€™s a glowing arch overhead that lights up in different colours as the night goes on. It adds a nice touch, especially in photos.

Char Rooftop Bar

Char Rooftop Bar

26th Floor โ€“ Location: Ploenchit

Char Rooftop Bar is on the 26th floor of Hotel Indigo in the Wireless Road area, and while itโ€™s not one of the tallest rooftops, it has a cosy atmosphere that Iโ€™ve always liked. It feels more personal than many of the big hotel bars, and the location gives you a nice view over the Ploenchit skyline, with a mix of city towers and tree-lined streets below.

  • Location: Ploenchit

ABAR at Marriott Marquis

Abar Rooftop at Marriott Marquis Bangkok

38th Floor โ€“ Location: Sukhumvit

ABar Rooftop is one of the largest rooftop bars Iโ€™ve visited in Bangkok, and it definitely leaves an impression. Sitting high on the 38th floor of the Bangkok Marriott Marquis Queenโ€™s Park, this place is all about space, skyline views, and cocktails โ€” especially gin. The rooftop is enormous, with a clever layout that makes it feel both open and private at the same time. There are cosy two-person tables tucked along the edges and a central area filled with comfortable sofas, separated by hedges for a bit of privacy. If that wasnโ€™t enough, thereโ€™s also access to another wing of the hotel with even more space, sometimes used for private events.

Bar.Yard Rooftop at Kimpton Hotel

Bar.Yard Rooftop at Kimpton Maa-Lai Hotel Bangkok

40th Floor โ€“ Location: Ploenchit

Bar.Yard is a rooftop I really enjoy for its personality. Perched on the 40th floor of the Kimpton Maa-Lai Hotel, itโ€™s not the highest in Bangkok, but it stands out for being fun, casual, and very different from the usual sleek rooftops. The terrace doesnโ€™t face west, so you wonโ€™t get a sunset view โ€” but the wide angle over Ploenchit and Wireless Road makes up for it.

  • Location: Ploenchit
  • Hotel:ย Kimpton Maa-Lai
  • Address: 78 Soi Ton Son, Lumphini, Pathum Wan District, Bangkok 10330

Sanctuary Rooftop Bar at Intercontinental Bangkok on Sukhumvit

34th Floor โ€“ Location: Sukhumvit

Sanctuary Bangkok is a new rooftop bar that opened in March 2025, perched on the 34th floor of the InterContinental Bangkok Sukhumvit. Itโ€™s a rather intimate rooftop space compared to many others in the city, and while it doesnโ€™t offer the sweeping panoramic views that some visitors might expect from a rooftop bar, it has its own unique charm.

  • Location: Sukhumvit

Pastel Rooftop

Sanctuary Rooftop Bar at Intercontinental Bangkok on Sukhumvit

22nd Floor โ€“ Location: Sukhumvit

Pastel Rooftop is a charming addition to Bangkokโ€™s rooftop scene. Perched on the 22nd floor of the Aira Hotel on Sukhumvit Soi 11, itโ€™s a mix of Mediterranean restaurant and rooftop bar, and the setting is every bit as inviting as the food. Itโ€™s not a fully open rooftop โ€” only one side is exposed โ€” but the space is wide, breezy, and well designed. The light decor, umbrellas, and soft colours give it a real holiday feel. There are four rows of tables, with the edge seats naturally being the most popular, so booking ahead is a smart move if you want the best view of the skyline.

  • Location: Sukhumvit
  • Hotel: Aira Hotel Bangkok Sukhumvit 11

TRIBE Sky Beach Club

TRIBE Sky Beach Club on Bangkok Sukhumvit

5th Floor โ€“ Location: Sukhumvit

Tribe Sky Beach Club is one of the most unexpected rooftop bars in Bangkok. Located on the top floor of the new EmSphere shopping mall on Sukhumvit Road, it feels like someone lifted a beach club straight from the islands and dropped it in the middle of the city. The space is huge, bright white, and made for fun.ย Itโ€™s not your usual laid-back rooftop โ€“ Tribe is all about the photo moments and the party vibe. It starts off chilled in the late afternoon and slowly picks up energy as the sun sets.

 

  • Location: Sukhumvit
  • Address: 628 Sukhumvit Rd, Khlong Tan, Khlong Toei, Bangkok 10110

Above Eleven

Above Eleven Rooftop Bar on Sukhumvit 11

33rd and 34th Floors โ€“ Location: Sukhumvit

Above Eleven has been around for a while and is still one of the best-known rooftops in Sukhumvit Soi 11. Iโ€™ve been a few times over the years, and it always has a good energy โ€” lively but not chaotic, and with a view that stretches across the city from the 33rd floor of Fraser Suites. The design is playful, with metal frames shaped like trees, giving the rooftop a bit of a park-in-the-sky feeling. Itโ€™s not a huge space, but thereโ€™s enough room to find a quiet corner if you arrive early. Later in the evening, it fills up fast โ€” especially on weekends โ€” so I usually try to be there before sunset to grab a good spot.

  • Location: Sukhumvit

Seen Rooftop Bar

Seen Rooftop Bar at Avani Hotel Bangkok

27th floor โ€“ Location: Thonburi

SEEN is one of the rooftops I like to bring people to when they want a break from the city centre and something a little more relaxed by the river. Itโ€™s on top of the Avani+ Riverside Hotel, directly across from Asiatique The Riverfront, and the view over the Chao Phraya is wide open and really beautiful, especially just before sunset. The rooftop itself is immense, which makes a big difference. Thereโ€™s space to move, no sense of being crammed next to other tables, and the seating is genuinely comfortable. I usually go straight for one of the large sofas near the edge โ€” perfect for a long catch-up with a drink in hand while watching the lights come on across the river.

Throwback is a modest and reasonably priced rooftop bar located on the 9th floor of the Silom Edge Building, just across the road from the Silom MRT Station. The view of the busy road and the BTS Skytrain passing by regularly in front of Lumpini Park is a good photo opportunity.

25th floor โ€“ Location: Sukhumvit

RedSquare is a small rooftop bar Iโ€™ve visited a couple of times, located on the 25th floor of Novotel Bangkok Sukhumvit 4, right in the middle of the Nana neighbourhood. Itโ€™s not very high, but the view over the city reflected in the large infinity swimming pool is surprisingly good, especially in the evening when the skyline lights up.

Luz Bangkok Tapas Bar

LUZ Bangkok Tapas Bar

LUZ is one of the most vibrant and easy-going rooftop bars Iโ€™ve been to in recent months. Itโ€™s located on the 34th floor of the INNSiDE by Meliรก Bangkok Sukhumvit, and the view over the city is wide and open, especially in the early evening when the lights begin to flicker on.ย The atmosphere is lively without being overwhelming. On weekdays, thereโ€™s a DJ playing easy-going tracks, and on weekends, live bands take over.

Cooling Tower at Carlton Hotel

Cooling Towers Rooftop Bar at Carlton Hotel Bangkok

34th floor โ€“ Location: Sukhumvit

Cooling Tower Rooftop Bar is a great spot to keep in mind if youโ€™re around Asok or Phrom Phong. It sits on the 34th floor of the Carlton Hotel, just above Sukhumvit Road, with a clear view of the city from two sides โ€” the Siamโ€“Ploenchit skyline on one end and long views over the Rama IV area on the other. The bar itself is cosy and modern, with very high retractable ceilings that give it an open-air feel even when covered. The layout is smart, and the vibe is relaxed. What caught my eye was the way the BTS Skytrain line runs straight past the base of the hotel; itโ€™s great for photos, especially if you manage to catch the train as it glides into the frame.

Rocco Club in Khaosan

Rocco Rooftop Bar on Khaosan Road

5th floor โ€“ Location: Khaosan Road

Bangkok View Rooftop is a casual spot tucked at the far end of Khaosan Road, and while it doesnโ€™t offer a dramatic skyline, the perspective over the lively street below is worth the climb. You wonโ€™t see the river or any big landmarks, but watching the action from above โ€” the neon signs, market stalls, and the endless flow of people โ€” gives the place its charm.

Up and Above

un and above at the okura prestige bangkok

24th floor โ€“ Location: Ploenchit

Up & Above Bar at The Okura Prestige Bangkok is one of those rooftops that feels calm and elegant from the moment you step in. Located on the 24th floor, it doesnโ€™t reach the dizzying heights of some of Bangkokโ€™s tallest sky bars, but the view over the city is still wide and impressive, especially in the late afternoon light. Iโ€™ve been there a couple of times when I was looking for a quieter spot with a view of the area. The atmosphere is refined and peaceful, with soft lighting, a minimalist design where you can enjoy a proper conversation without shouting over music.

Spectrum Lounge and Bar at Hyatt Regency

Spectrum Rooftop Bar at Hyatt Regency Bangkok

29th and 30th floors โ€“ Location: Sukhumvit

Spectrum is one of the more polished rooftops in Sukhumvit, and Iโ€™ve always liked how it manages to feel a bit more private than some of the flashier bars nearby. Located on the 29th and 30th floors of the Hyatt Regency, itโ€™s tucked away just a few minutesโ€™ walk from Nana BTS, but once youโ€™re up there, the city noise disappears.

Penthouse at Park Hyatt

Penthouse Rooftop Park Hyatt Bangkok, Central Embassy

35th floor โ€“ Location: Ploenchit

Penthouse Bar + Grill at Park Hyatt Bangkok is one of the most stylish rooftop venues in the city, and a great place to head after shopping at Central Embassy, which is just below. Iโ€™ve stopped by more than once after wandering through the mall โ€” itโ€™s a perfect way to transition from retail therapy to a relaxing evening with a view.

Siwilai City Club

Siwilai Sky Club at Central Embasy

5th floor โ€“ Location: Ploenchit

Siwilai City Club is not your typical rooftop bar. Itโ€™s only on the 5th floor of Central Embassy, so you wonโ€™t get sweeping skyline views, but Iโ€™ve always liked it for the easy-going vibe. Itโ€™s open-air, relaxed, and never too crowded; a great place to take a break after walking through the mall. Iโ€™ve been a few times after browsing around Central Embassy, and it feels relaxed and easy-going. The design is stylish but casual, with wooden decks, large tables, comfy lounge chairs, and some greenery that gives a beach club feel in the middle of Bangkok.

  • Location: Ploenchit (Central Embassy)
  • Address: 1031 Phloenchit Rd, Lumphini, Pathum Wan District, Bangkok 10330

Cielo Sky Bar

cielo rooftop bar

46th floor โ€“ Location: Sukhumvit

Cielo Sky Bar is one of those rooftops I recommend when someone wants a great view without the high prices or the crowds. Itโ€™s on the 46th floor of the Sky Walk Condominium near Phra Khanong BTS, and even though itโ€™s not in the usual tourist zone, the view over Bangkokโ€™s skyline is wide and impressive.

Mojjo Rooftop Bar

Mojito Rooftop Bar

34th floor โ€“ Location: Sukhumvit

Mojjo is a smaller rooftop bar Iโ€™ve visited a couple of times, tucked on top of the Compass SkyView Hotel, just behind Emporium Mall and close to Phrom Phong BTS. The location is convenient if youโ€™re shopping or staying in the area, and while itโ€™s not as high as some rooftops, the view over Sukhumvit is still great, especially at sunset.

Sky on 20 at Novotel

Sky on 20 Rooftop Bar at Novotel Bangkok

26th floor โ€“ Location: Sukhumvit

Sky on 20 is a laid-back rooftop bar on the 26th floor of the Novotel Bangkok Sukhumvit 20. Despite the name, itโ€™s not on the 20th floor โ€” thatโ€™s the street number โ€” and the rooftop is a bit tucked away. Getting there is slightly unusual: you take the lift up, then face a modest fire exit door with a small sign. It feels like the wrong way until you push the door, climb a flight of stairsโ€ฆ and find yourself in a surprisingly spacious and well-designed rooftop.

  • Location: Sukhumvit
  • Hotel: Novotel Bangkok Sukhumvit 20
  • Address: 19/9 Sukhumvit 20 Alley, Khwaeng Khlong Toei, Khlong Toei, Bangkok 10110

Brewski Rooftop Bar

Brewski Rooftop Bar at Radisson Blu Bangkok

30th floor โ€“ Location: Sukhumvit

Brewski is a rooftop Iโ€™ve visited a few times when Iโ€™m in the Asoke area and in the mood for something casual. Itโ€™s on the 30th floor of the Radisson Blu Plaza, and while the view is good, the real draw here is the atmosphere โ€” laid-back, friendly, and focused on craft beer rather than cocktails. The space is split into two levels, with the main bar on the lower floor and a small upper deck for better views. Itโ€™s not impressive, but itโ€™s open-air, comfortable, and usually has a mix of locals, expats, and visitors looking for a relaxed evening above the city.

  • Location: Sukhumvit
  • Hotel: Radisson Blu Plaza Bangkok
  • Address: 489 Sukhumvit Rd (Sukhumvit Soi 27)

Speakeasy at Hotel Muse

Speakeasy at Hotel Muse

25th floor โ€“ Location: Ploenchit

The Speakeasy at Hotel Muse is a hidden rooftop in the Langsuan area. Itโ€™s not the highest or the flashiest, but thereโ€™s something about its 1920s-style design and quieter vibe that makes it stand out. Set across the 24th and 25th floors, The Speakeasy feels more like a hidden retreat than a typical Bangkok rooftop. There are a few indoor rooms with vintage dรฉcor โ€” leather chairs, old books, and dim lighting โ€” but the best part is the open terrace with a view over the leafy Langsuan neighbourhood and Bangkokโ€™s city skyline beyond.

  • Location: Ploenchit
  • Hotel: Hotel Muse Bangkok Langsuan
  • Address: 55/555 Langsuan Road
  • Closest BTS/MRT Station: BTS Chitlom: 440 m

342 Bar

Bar 342 Rooftop on the Thonburi side of Bangkok

5th floor โ€“ Location: Thonburi

342 Bar is one of those rooftops you almost miss unless someone points it out. Itโ€™s located on the fifth floor of Baan Wanglang Riverside Hotel, right on the Thonburi side of the Chao Phraya River. Itโ€™s not high up, but the view is hard to beat โ€” directly across the water, youโ€™re facing the Grand Palace, Wat Phra Kaew, and the golden spires of Rattanakosin. At sunset, the whole area glows.

Getting there is part of the experience. You can take a ferry across from Tha Chang Pier or just walk from Wang Lang Market if youโ€™re already on this side of the river. Once you arrive, the rooftop is small and simple, with a handful of tables and a casual setup. Itโ€™s quiet, relaxed, and refreshingly free of crowds.

  • Location: Thonburi
  • Address: 342 Soi Wat Rakhang, Prannok Rd, Siriraj Bangkoknoi, Bangkok 10700

Bar 9 Rooftop Bar at Novotel Platinum

9th floor โ€“ Location: Siam

View Bangkok Rooftop Bar & Restaurant is a casual and friendly rooftop bar on the 9th floor of the Novotel Bangkok Platinum, right on the edge of Pratunam. Itโ€™s not very high but still offers a wide view over Ratchaprasong Intersection, CentralWorld, and the busy road below. The view isnโ€™t wide open like on taller rooftops, but you can see across to Ratchaprasong, with lots of movement down below. I usually come here when I want a quick break from the heat or shopping, just to sit down with a cold beer and let the noise fade out for a while. Thereโ€™s no pressure here. The menu is simple: local beers, some international options, a few cocktails, and snacks like fried chicken or spring rolls.

While the panoramic views are wide, theyโ€™re mostly blocked by a safety mesh, making photos difficult.
