It’s not high up, but the view is hard to beat — directly across the water, you’re facing the Grand Palace, and the golden spires of Rattanakosin. At sunset, the whole area glows.
Siwilai City Club is not your typical rooftop bar. It’s only on the 5th floor of Central Embassy, so you won’t get sweeping skyline views, but I’ve always liked it for the easy-going vibe
Penthouse Bar and 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.
