Tips
- Tha Chang, in the Old City's Tha Phae area, is the cheapest of the four at 200 THB a cocktail and takes walk-ins, with views over the Old City wall rather than the mountain.
- The Roof at Le Meridien gets busy for its weekend DJ sets — reserve if you're going Friday or Saturday.
- MyST Sky Bar at Akyra Manor in Nimman has a small infinity pool alongside its 360-degree views, and is quiet enough midweek to walk in without booking.
- The Shangri-La's rooftop bar at SCC is the priciest here at 400 THB, with full views of Doi Suthep mountain and a table booking required.
- Cocktail prices run from 200 THB at Tha Chang to 400 THB at the Shangri-La — decide between the casual Old City wall view and the premium mountain outlook before choosing.
