Ploenchit

Ploenchit sits between Siam and Sukhumvit, quieter than both but with a lot going on. Central Embassy, One Bangkok, and Velaa Sindhorn Village on Langsuan Road have made this one of the best areas in Bangkok for dining and luxury hotels. Lumpini Park is right here too, which makes it feel less hectic than the rest of the city.

Central Embassy

Central Embassy Bangkok is an immense and beautifully designed luxury shopping mall built in the Ploenchit neighbourhood at the intersection of Ploenchit Road and Wireless Road (Witthayu Road).

Ma Maison Restaurant

Ma Maison Bangkok is a unique Thai restaurant found in the Ploenchit area. A glasshouse sitting in the shade of immense old trees in a vast green garden, hidden in the heart of Bangkok, somewhere you would never expect to find a garden of this size.

Royal Osha Restaurant

Royal Oshak is one of the fanciest and most upmarket Thai restaurants in Bangkok. Originally from San Francisco, where they run five restaurants, Royal Osha serves Thai food with a slight twist, created by talented Thai chefs.

Char Rooftop Bar

Char Rooftop Bar is a small little spot perched on the 27th floor of the Indigo Hotel in Bangkok, above the tree-lined wireless road in Ploenchit and the massive garden of the American ambassador’s residence.

Bar.Yard Rooftop at Kimpton Maa-Lai Hotel

Bar.Yard Rooftop Bar is the latest sky-high lounge to explore and enjoy in Bangkok. This cosy venue is perched on the 40th floor of the Kimpton Maa-Lai Hotel, a new 5-star hotel standing next to the even more luxurious Kempinski hotel in the posh Ploenchit area

Iris & Wild Iris Rooftop Bar at SO/ Bangkok

When the Hi-So rooftop bar at So/ Bangkok opened in Bangkok, we thought this was just another luxury hotel, so how great could it be? Sathorn Road is nice and even posh, but it mostly looks like a large avenue lined with tall and shiny skyscrapers and a growing collection of luxury hotels.

Speakeasy Rooftop Bar Bangkok at The Muse Hotel

Speakeasy Rooftop Bar at Hotel Muse

Speakeasy Rooftop Bar at Hotel Muse Bangkok on Langsuan Street is not your usual rooftop bar: like the entire hotel, Speakeasy displays a convoluted Art-Deco design to create a fancy atmosphere. And it’s a partial success. The lobby of the bar is nicely crafted but rather dark, like the rest of the hotel.
