Silom is where Bangkok’s most famous rooftop bars are. Sky Bar at State Tower has been pulling crowds since The Hangover Part II came out, and it’s still packed most nights.
Sukhumvit has more rooftop bars than any other part of Bangkok. That makes sense. Most visitors stay here, the BTS runs right through it, and there’s a hotel on nearly every corner.
Riverside rooftops offer something different from the skyscraper bars downtown. The views here aren’t about looking down at the city from 60 floors up.
Fly-O sits on the rooftop of The Beyond Patong Hotel, a short walk from Bangla Road. The design takes inspiration from Santorini’s whitewashed architecture with tables set among water features and pool areas. The name represents “Forever Living Young”, and the “O” refers to an oasis concept.
Tasana Nakorn Terrace is a riverside bar and restaurant located on the upper floor of IconSiam in Thonburi, Bangkok. It’s popular for its panoramic views of the Chao Phraya River and landmarks across the water, including the historic Old Customs House, which is being restored into a luxury hotel.
Spire rooftop bar is the newest venue at the rebuilt Dusit Thani Bangkok, and it really impressed us during our recent visit. Spread over three floors on the 39th floor on the edge of Silom, this massive rooftop bar is both modern and comfortable.
The Roof @ 38th Bar offers a chic rooftop experience on the 38th floor of Mode Sathorn Hotel. With sweeping views of Bangkok’s skyline and the Chao Phraya River, this stylish lounge serves Mexican, Moroccan, French, and Asian specialities alongside inventive cocktails.
View Bangkok Rooftop Bar & Restaurant is a casual and friendly rooftop bar on the 9th floor of the Novotel Bangkok Platinum, right in the edge of Pratunam
342 Bar is one of those rooftops you almost miss unless someone points it out. It’s located on the fifth floor of Baan Wanglang Riverside Hotel, right on the Thonburi side of the Chao Phraya River. 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.
Scarlett Wine Bar & Restaurant at Pullman Bangkok Hotel G combines fine dining with rooftop views from its 37th-floor location. Known for its extensive wine list and French-inspired menu, Scarlett offers dishes such as charcuterie boards and premium steaks in an elegant setting.
Belga Rooftop Bar and Brasserie at Sofitel Sukhumvit brings Belgian charm to Bangkok’s rooftop scene. Located on the 32nd floor, it offers authentic Belgian cuisine such as mussels and fries paired with an extensive selection of craft beers
Up and 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 doesn’t reach the dizzying heights of some of Bangkok’s tallest sky bars, but the view over the city is still wide and impressive, especially in the late afternoon light.
Throwback Rooftop Bar 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.
Eagle Nest is one of those rooftops I keep going back to. It’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.
TRIBE Sky Beach Club is one of the newest rooftop bars in Bangkok and probably the most surprising one I’ve seen in a long time. It’s not just a rooftop, it’s a rooftop beach.

Fira Beach Club, located high above Kata Noi Beach in southern Phuket, is a new immense rooftop bar and restaurant with luxurious beach club vibes and a Mediterranean atmosphere.
