Best Rooftop Bar in Bangkok

Bangkok essentially invented the modern Asian rooftop bar — open-air drinking 50 floors above the city is now a tourism staple. Sunset window (6-7 PM) is golden hour; expect dress codes at the premium ones. Cocktails run 400-700 baht.

Top Picks

  1. 1

    Sky Bar at Lebua

    Silom / Bang Rak

    The Hangover 2 bar — open-air gold dome on the 63rd floor of Lebua Tower, with the Chao Phraya River as backdrop. Strict dress code.

    650 THB signature cocktailWalk-in, arrive before 6 PM for sunset spots
  2. 2

    Vertigo & Moon Bar (Banyan Tree)

    Sathorn

    Open-air rooftop on the 61st floor with 360-degree views — quieter and less crowded than Lebua, with a strong cocktail programme.

    550 THB cocktailBook dinner for guaranteed view seats
  3. 3

    Octave Rooftop Lounge

    Thonglor

    Three-tier rooftop at Marriott Sukhumvit 57 with a circular bar on top — younger, livelier crowd than Sky Bar and more relaxed dress code.

  6. 6

    Penthouse Bar + Grill (Park Hyatt)

    Ploenchit

    More polished and grown-up than the dramatic-view bars — terrace on the 36th floor with city views, serious wine list and a steak-led grill menu.

    500 THB cocktailBook dinner via OpenTable

Tips

  • Above Eleven at 400 baht a cocktail is the cheapest round of the six, and Mahanakhon's 850-baht skywalk-plus-drink combo the most expensive — decide whether you want the view or the glass floor first.
  • Sky Bar at Lebua takes walk-ins if you arrive before 6 PM, while Vertigo, Mahanakhon and Penthouse are better booked through a dinner reservation for a guaranteed seat.
  • Octave and Above Eleven both run 5 PM to 2 AM, making them the two on this list that double as a late-evening stop rather than just a sunset drink.
  • Mahanakhon's 850-baht combo includes the skywalk ticket as well as a drink, so it isn't directly comparable to the straight cocktail price at the other five.
  • Vertigo & Moon Bar on the 61st floor of the Banyan Tree draws a smaller crowd than Sky Bar's 63rd-floor dome, worth knowing if you want space rather than a scene.
