What to Do in Sathorn?
Sathorn is a central district in Bangkok that runs from the edge of Lumpini Park and the new One Bangkok lifestyle complex all the way to the Chao Phraya River. Itโs known for its tall office buildings, luxury hotels, embassies, and rooftop bars, but the area also has a more local side. Along the main Sathorn Road and the smaller streets around it, visitors will find a mix of stylish rooftop bars, hidden cafรฉs, excellent restaurants, and small local food stalls that come to life during the lunch rush. The area is busy during the day but becomes more relaxed in the evening.
The district is easy to reach by BTS or MRT, and itโs well connected to Silom, Sukhumvit, and the riverside. Sathorn is a good mix of modern Bangkok with some unexpected surprises, whether youโre passing through or staying in one of the many hotels nearby. Sathorn is home to some of Bangkokโs most stylish rooftop bars, offering great city views without the heavy crowds found in the more touristy areas. The atmosphere here feels more grown-up and relaxed. Bars like Vertigo, Mahanakhon Skywalk, and Le Du Kaan combine skyline views with well-made drinks and a more local crowd. Many of these rooftops are perfect for a sunset with a drink after dinner, with music that stays in the background.
Mahanakhon SkyWalk
Mahanakhon SkyWalk in Silom is, without a doubt, the most thrilling experience you can get in Bangkok these days. Itโs quite expensive, but the views from this 360หopen space Rooftop at the top of the tallest tower in Thailand justify the price. Built on the 78th floor of the iconic Mahanakhon pixelated building, this long-awaited rooftop bar offers an impressive view of the entire Bangkok metropolis. Le Du Kaan
Le Du Kaan, on the 56th floor of The Empire Tower on Sathorn Road in Bangkokโs Silom district, is a remarkable dining experience that combines panoramic city views with creative Thai cuisine. This Rooftop restaurant is the latest addition to the culinary collection of our longtime friend Chef Thitid โTonโ Tassanakajohn, who began his journey about ten years ago with his very first restaurant just across the street, called Le Du. Vertigo Rooftop and Moon Bar
Vertigo Rooftop and Moon Bar are among the best rooftops in Bangkok, on the 61st floor of the famous Banyan Tree Hotel on Sathorn Road, a tall, skinny-looking building. Vertigo is a restaurant where you can have dinner with some pretty amazing views, but most people like to hang out in the comfortable chairs and sofas of the bar for a sunset drink and some unforgettable photos. Where to Stay in Sathorn
Sathorn has all kinds of hotels, from big luxury names to smaller, more local places. Some of the most well-known are Banyan Tree, W Bangkok, and Eastin Grand, each with its own style and often a rooftop bar to go with it. Many are just a short walk from the BTS or MRT, so getting around is easy. Itโs a popular area for business travellers, but also good for anyone who wants a quieter base without being too far from the action. A few small hotels and serviced apartments are hidden in the side streets if you look around.
