A list of the best rooftop bars in Bangkok
The list of Bangkok’s Best Rooftop Bars keeps getting longer, and not many cities in the world can pretend to have more rooftops and sky bars than Bangkok. At this time, we count more than 30 ‘real’ rooftop bars, restaurants, and a good dozen alternate ones. By ‘real rooftop bar’, we mean built at the top of a building with an open sky above, not just a terrace with a view.
Why are Bangkok rooftops so popular?
- The fascination people have for high places and their fantastic views, and the photos they can post on Facebook,
- An excellent weather condition most of the year that allows running all year round (probably why there are not as many rooftops in Kuala Lumpur; it seems to rain a lot at sunset time)
- Rooftop bars can be great money-makers for a space the hotel owns anyway! Few seats, a bar and a sound system and here you go, 350 baht for a Singha, please (plus 7% tax and 10% service charge), and we are all happy to pay.
Wherever you are in Bangkok, there is always a rooftop near you! We know this list is incomplete, but we are growing it fast! See also our list of Phuket’s Best Rooftop Bars.
Vertigo at Banyan Tree (Moon Bar)
| 61st Floor – Location: Sathorn |
Vertigo and Moon Bar at Banyan Tree Bangkok is one of those places I always enjoy coming back to, even after visiting dozens of other rooftops in Bangkok. Located on the 61st floor, the view is completely open, and it really gives you that floating-above-the-city feeling, especially just before sunset.
The first time I went, it was the warm breeze and soft light that made the biggest impression. No glass walls, no big flashy lights — just Bangkok stretching in every direction and a low-lit bar where you can sit with a drink and take it all in.
The food side, Vertigo, is known for grilled seafood and steaks. I usually keep it simple and go for a glass of wine and something light, especially if I’ve already eaten. The Moon Bar, just a few steps away, is where I tend to linger. One of their fruit-based cocktails and a quiet table near the edge make the evening.
It’s not the cheapest bar in town, but the atmosphere is worth it. You don’t need to dress up too much — just no flip-flops or beachwear. Go early to catch the light changing over the city — that’s the moment that I always enjoy the most.. Read more about Vertigo.

Sky Bar at State Tower
| 64th Floor – Location: Silom |
Sky Bar at Lebua is probably Bangkok’s most famous rooftop bar — and it definitely feels like it when you step out onto that golden-lit platform. Located on the 64th floor of State Tower, it became world-famous after The Hangover Part II, and even now, years later, people still come for that exact shot overlooking the curve of the Chao Phraya River.
I’ve been up here a few times, and the view never disappoints. It’s especially striking after dark when the city lights flicker along the riverbanks. The actual bar area is small and often busy, but the open design gives everyone a good look at the view.
Drinks here are pricey — it’s not unusual to pay over 1,000 baht for a cocktail — but you’re really paying for the experience. I usually go for just one drink, take in the view, and move on to dinner elsewhere. They do have a signature cocktail called the Hangovertini, but to be honest, I prefer something simple like a glass of sparkling wine and more time to enjoy the surroundings.
Dress code is quite strict — no shorts, sandals, or sleeveless tops. It’s a bit more formal than most rooftops, but if you plan it right, Sky Bar offers one of the best panoramic views in the city. Read more about Sky Bar.

Akara Sky Hanuman Bangkok
| 61st Floor – Location: Ploenchit |
Akara Sky Hanuman is one of the most impressive rooftops I’ve visited lately. Perched on the 61st floor of One City Centre in Ploenchit, right across from Central Embassy, the view is nothing short of spectacular — you get nearly a full 360-degree panorama over Bangkok.
It’s the second-highest rooftop in the city after Mahanakhon, but the atmosphere is completely different. While Mahanakhon feels like a tourist checkpoint, Akara is spacious and more relaxed, but it still feels a little undiscovered. There’s plenty of seating, and if you can, grab a spot near the edge to take in the skyline fully. Siam is in front of you, and Sukhumvit is behind.
The rooftop features a huge Hanuman statue at the centre, and at 9 pm there’s a short Thai performance that adds something unique to the experience. There’s also a DJ spinning mellow electronic tracks in the background, which gives the place a nice rhythm without making it feel like a club.
Right now, the focus is mainly on drinks, with a few tapas options available. I found the vibe refreshingly easy-going for such a tall and fancy venue. It’s easy to get there from BTS Ploenchit, but the building layout is a bit tricky, so allow a few extra minutes to find the right elevator.
Location: Ploenchit

Octave Rooftop Lounge
| 49th Floor – Location: Sukhumvit |
Octave is one of the rooftop bars I often recommend to friends staying in the Thonglor area. It’s perched on the 45th to 49th floors of the Marriott Hotel Sukhumvit, and the view from the top level is completely 360°, with no walls or glass panels to block the skyline. You really feel like you’re floating above Bangkok.
What I like about Octave is that it’s a little more relaxed than some of the bigger-name rooftops. There’s great music, a stylish crowd, and good cocktails — but the vibe is casual enough that you don’t have to overdress.
The bar is spread over several levels, but if it’s your first time, try to get a seat right at the edge of the upper deck. Sunset views here are some of the best in town, especially with a drink in hand. I usually go for one of their signature cocktails — light, fruity, and easy to enjoy while watching the sky turn orange, when weather permits, of course. Food is more snack-style than dinner, but good enough to keep you going. It’s a solid spot for a casual night out with a view. Read more about Octave.

Mahanakhon SkyWalk
| 78th Floor – Location: Sathorn |
Mahanakhon SkyWalk is probably the most thrilling rooftop experience you can get in Bangkok — and yes, it’s a bit expensive, but once you’re standing at the top of Thailand’s tallest building, it feels worth it.
Getting up there is half the fun. The high-speed lift zooms to the 74th floor in just under a minute, and the animated screens inside give the odd feeling that you’re flying over the city. From there, you can explore a huge indoor observation deck before taking a glass elevator (or the stairs) up to the 78th floor, 314 metres above Bangkok.
The rooftop is open-air with panoramic views in every direction, and of course, that glass floor everyone talks about. It’s hard not to get a bit nervous stepping onto it — we hesitated, laughed, tried to act cool, and took turns pretending to be brave while the other took photos. Just watching how other people react is entertainment in itself.
There’s a small bar at the top with a few seats — perfect for a cocktail after you’ve faced the glass. The views are incredible, but it does get crowded around sunset. If it’s your first time in Bangkok, this is one rooftop experience you won’t forget. Read more about Mahanakhon SkyWalk.

Nobu Bangkok
| 57th, 58th, 60th Floor – Location: Sathorn |
Nobu Bangkok is one of the most impressive rooftop venues I’ve experienced in the city, and definitely one of the most luxurious. Spread across the 57th, 58th, and 60th floors of Empire Tower in Sathorn, this is the highest Nobu in the world, with an incredible 360-degree view over Bangkok, including the Chao Phraya River, Mahanakhon Tower, and even the green patch of Bang Krachao in the distance.
Each floor has its own atmosphere. The 57th is more of a lounge space with a bar and private dining rooms — perfect for a quiet drink or a more intimate dinner. The 58th floor is where the main dining room is located, with plush seating, a long sushi bar, and the kind of elegant service you’d expect from Nobu. Just outside is the outdoor terrace, which is massive and great for cocktails and tapas before moving inside for dinner. It gets quite dark out there after sunset, so we preferred starting the evening outdoors and finishing inside.
But the real hidden gem is the 60th floor. A lot of guests don’t even know it’s there. It’s quieter, with a beautiful circular bar under a curved roof, and the view from up there is truly something else.

Le Du Kaan
| 56th Floor – Location: Silom |
Le Du Kaan is one of the most exciting new rooftop restaurants in Bangkok right now. Set on the 56th floor of Empire Tower in Silom, it’s the latest creation from Chef Thitid “Ton” Tassanakajohn, whose original Le Du restaurant — just across the street — earned a Michelin star and international recognition for its creative take on Thai cuisine.
This new venue brings the same dedication to flavour and seasonal ingredients, but in a much grander setting. The design is sleek, with warm touches of Thai heritage — gold accents, wooden textures, and a soft atmosphere that feels elegant but not over the top. The indoor dining room is beautifully done, and the outdoor terrace offers some of the best sunset views in Silom, with the Chao Phraya River in the distance and the Sky Bar, ICONSIAM, and Mahanakhon Tower all clearly visible.
After dinner, I recommend heading to the rooftop bar for a cocktail. The drinks are inspired by regional Thai flavours and served with that incredible cityscape in the background. Whether you’re a fan of Chef Ton’s restaurants or simply looking for something special in Bangkok, Le Du Kaan delivers both on the plate and through the view.
Location: Silom

Tichuca Rooftop Bar
| 46th Floor – Location: Sukhumvit |
Tichuca is one of the busiest and most talked-about rooftops in Bangkok. It sits on top of the T-One Building on Sukhumvit Soi 40 and spreads over several small floors connected by a narrow staircase. It’s a bit of a climb, but once you get to the top, you’re rewarded with some great views and one of the most unique bar settings in the city.
The first thing you’ll probably notice is the massive light installation in the middle of the bar — a glowing “tree” that lights up after sunset. It’s eye-catching and definitely made for Instagram, and it’s pretty fun to sit near it with a drink and watch the lights slowly change colour.
I found the crowd younger and more casual than at some of the big hotel rooftops. There’s a DJ most evenings, and while it can get loud, it still feels social and not over the top.
There’s no food menu worth mentioning, so it’s more of a pre-dinner or after-dinner drinks spot. If you go after 8 pm on weekends, be prepared to queue — it gets busy fast. Read more about Tichuca.

Hi-So Bar at So/Bangkok
| 26th Floor – Location: Sathorn |
HI-SO Rooftop Bar is one of the few places in Bangkok where you get a full view of Lumphini Park from above. I’ve been a few times, and that mix of greenery and skyline always makes this rooftop feel a bit more special, especially in the late afternoon when the sun starts dipping behind the city.
The bar is on the 29th floor of SO/ Bangkok, just off Sathorn Road. It’s not one of the highest rooftops in town, but the view is wide and open. I usually head straight for one of the tables near the edge to look out over the park. The atmosphere can vary — sometimes there’s a DJ playing chilled music, sometimes it’s quieter — but it never feels overwhelming.
The drinks menu has a good mix of classics and house cocktails. I tend to go for something simple here — maybe a gin and tonic or a local beer — and just enjoy the breeze and the view. It’s a nice place to meet up with friends or take a break after a walk through Lumphini. It’s casual enough that you don’t need to dress up, but it still feels like a treat.

ThreeSixty Millennium Hilton
| 32nd Floor – Location: Sathorn |
ThreeSixty at the Millennium Hilton is one of those rooftop bars that often gets overlooked, which is surprising considering how good it actually is. It’s located just next to ICONSIAM, and the view over the Chao Phraya River is truly fantastic — especially around sunset when the boats are moving slowly below and the city lights start to come on.
At first glance, it might look like the bar is entirely indoors because of the big glass cupola. But the best part is actually behind it — a proper open-air terrace with plenty of space, big comfortable sofas, and its own dedicated bar. I’ve sat out there a few times, and it’s one of the few places in Bangkok where you can enjoy a rooftop view in a peaceful, comfortable setting without being elbow to elbow with the next table.
The drinks menu is solid, with a good wine list and classic cocktails. Prices are what you’d expect for a 5-star hotel, but not unreasonable. What I like most is how calm it feels compared to places like Sky Bar or Vertigo. And taking the little boat across the river to get there just adds to the charm.

Eagle Nest at Sala Rattanakosin
| 5th Floor – Location: Old City |
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, and just behind you is Wat Pho. When the sun starts to set and the lights come on, the view becomes quite special.
I usually come here after a walk through the old city or following a temple visit. It’s a great way to wind down with a drink and a bit of quiet. The space is small — just a few tables and a bar — but that’s part of the charm. There’s no loud music, no flashy design, just a peaceful view and a nice breeze from the river.
The drink menu is simple. I often just order a beer or a glass of wine and enjoy the view for as long as I can. If you can, time your visit around sunset — it’s worth it. Eagle Nest may not be well known to most visitors, but for me, it’s still one of the most memorable rooftop spots in the city.

Yao Rooftop Bar
| 32nd Floor – Location: Silom |
Yao Rooftop Bar, located on the 32nd floor of the Marriott Bangkok Surawongse, combines modern sophistication with Chinese-inspired decor. The bar offers stunning views of the city skyline and the Chao Phraya River, making it a popular spot for sunset drinks. The menu features Asian-inspired cocktails and light bites, blending traditional flavors with contemporary twists. With its elegant ambiance and spacious layout, Yao is ideal for both casual evenings and special occasions. Accessible via BTS Chong Nonsi, reservations are recommended for prime seating near the edge. Read more about Yao Rooftop Bar

CRU at Centara Grand
| 58th Floor – Location: Siam |
CRU Champagne Bar is one of Bangkok’s most exclusive rooftop experiences — and definitely one of the most memorable. Located on the 58th floor of Centara Grand, it’s just a few floors above the more casual Red Sky Bar, but the change in atmosphere is quite dramatic. Up here, it’s all about Champagne, panoramic views, and a refined, high-society vibe.
The name CRU comes from the French wine classification system and is pronounced “crew,” not C.R.U. It’s designed for people who enjoy their bubbles in style — and yes, the Champagne menu is extensive, with options ranging from around 600 to 1,000 baht a glass. Once in a while, it’s a nice treat.
What surprised me most was how just three extra floors above Red Sky could change the whole perspective. The view is truly 360 degrees, and on a clear evening, you can pick out many of Bangkok’s landmarks. It opens at 5 pm, which gives you the perfect chance to catch sunset light with a glass of something special and music playing in the background.
Getting there is half the fun. First, take the lift to the 23rd floor, then switch to another lift up to 55, climb a short staircase to 56, and finally take a small lift to 58. You’ll definitely be ready for a drink by the time you arrive — and it’s worth every step. Read more about CRU Rooftop.

Red Sky at Central World
| 55th Floor – Location: Siam |
Red Sky has been around for a while, and it’s still one of the better rooftop bars in the Siam area. Located on the 55th floor of Centara Grand at CentralWorld, the 360-degree view is all around you — not quite as high as some others, but central enough that you get a wide-angle look at Bangkok’s skyline.
What makes Red Sky stand out is the curved design of the rooftop. The layout gives every table a good view, and there’s a glowing arch overhead that lights up in different colours as the night goes on. It adds a nice touch, especially in photos.
I’ve stopped here several times after shopping at CentralWorld — it’s a good place to take a breather before heading out again. The atmosphere is relaxed but a little more refined, so I usually make sure to dress up just a bit. Prices are what you’d expect for a rooftop in a central mall hotel — not cheap, but not outrageous either.
Cocktails are nicely made, and the wine list is decent. There’s also a restaurant here if you want to stay for dinner. It’s a convenient rooftop if you’re already in the area, with a great design to make it worth a stop. Read more about Red Sky.

Char Rooftop Bar
| 27th Floor – Location: Ploenchit |
Char Rooftop Bar is on the 26th floor of Hotel Indigo in the Wireless Road area, and while it’s not one of the tallest rooftops, it has a cosy atmosphere that I’ve always liked. It feels more personal than many of the big hotel bars, and the location gives you a nice view over the Ploenchit skyline, with a mix of city towers and tree-lined streets below.
The rooftop is split into two levels, and I usually go straight to the top floor to grab one of the corner seats. It’s especially nice just before sunset when the light hits the buildings around Sukhumvit. There’s music playing in the background most nights, but it stays soft enough to have a conversation.
The menu mixes Thai and Western dishes, and the drinks list has all the classics, plus a few house cocktails. I tend to keep it simple and enjoy the quieter vibe compared to some of the louder rooftops. Read more about CHAR Rooftop Bar.

ABAR at Marriott Marquis
| 38th Floor – Location: Sukhumvit |
ABar Rooftop is one of the largest rooftop bars I’ve visited in Bangkok, and it definitely leaves an impression. Sitting high on the 38th floor of the Bangkok Marriott Marquis Queen’s Park, this place is all about space, skyline views, and cocktails — especially gin.
The rooftop is enormous, with a clever layout that makes it feel both open and private at the same time. There are cosy two-person tables tucked along the edges and a central area filled with comfortable sofas, separated by hedges for a bit of privacy. If that wasn’t enough, there’s also access to another wing of the hotel with even more space, sometimes used for private events.
The bar is known for its massive gin collection — over 50 varieties, including a lot of lesser-known craft options. I’ve tried a few of their signature gin cocktails over the years, and the staff is happy to recommend something based on your preferences. You could easily come here several times and never have the same drink twice.
The view is another highlight. On one side, you can spot Benjasiri Park and the luxury malls along Sukhumvit, and on the other, you get a clear look over Benchakitti Park and the expanding Bangkok skyline. Read more about ABAR.

Bar.Yard Rooftop at Kimpton Hotel
| 40th Floor – Location: Ploenchit |
Bar.Yard is a rooftop I really enjoy for its personality. Perched on the 40th floor of the Kimpton Maa-Lai Hotel, it’s not the highest in Bangkok, but it stands out for being fun, casual, and very different from the usual sleek rooftops. The terrace doesn’t face west, so you won’t get a sunset view — but the wide angle over Ploenchit and Wireless Road makes up for it.
The outdoor area isn’t huge, and it fills up quickly, so it’s best to book in advance if you want a table outside. From the terrace, you can spot the CRC towers, Central Embassy, the Okura, and even the gardens of the US Ambassador’s residence right at the foot of the building — a rare green patch in this part of town.
The menu is casual and well-priced for a rooftop. I was honestly surprised by how good the tacos were — the pork rib and brisket ones in particular. There’s also a long list of bar food, from sliders to skewers, and a creative cocktail menu to go with it. Bar.Yard is not about views alone — it’s about atmosphere, food, and a bit of playful character. A great spot to unwind without the formality. Read more about Bar.Yard.

Pastel Rooftop
| 22nd Floor – Location: Sukhumvit |
Pastel Rooftop is a charming addition to Bangkok’s rooftop scene. Perched on the 22nd floor of the Aira Hotel on Sukhumvit Soi 11, it’s a mix of Mediterranean restaurant and rooftop bar, and the setting is every bit as inviting as the food.
It’s not a fully open rooftop — only one side is exposed — but the space is wide, breezy, and well designed. The light decor, umbrellas, and soft colours give it a real holiday feel. There are four rows of tables, with the edge seats naturally being the most popular, so booking ahead is a smart move if you want the best view of the skyline.
We came just before sunset and started with sangria and prosecco, watching the soft light fall over the buildings in front of us. The open space across from the hotel creates a surprisingly wide view, and the low-rise surroundings give the skyline plenty of breathing room.
The food was the real highlight. The menu is full of fresh, Mediterranean-style dishes — tapas, raw seafood, appetisers, mains, and desserts — all made with care and served without any unnecessary pretension. It’s refreshing to find a rooftop restaurant that puts food at the heart of the experience. The staff were attentive, friendly, and made us feel welcome from the start. Read more about Pastel.

TRIBE Sky Beach Club
| 5th Floor – Location: Sukhumvit |
Tribe Sky Beach Club is one of the most unexpected rooftop bars in Bangkok. Located on the top floor of the new EmSphere shopping mall on Sukhumvit Road, it feels like someone lifted a beach club straight from the islands and dropped it in the middle of the city. The space is huge, bright white, and made for fun. It’s not your usual laid-back rooftop – Tribe is all about the photo moments and the party vibe. It starts off chilled in the late afternoon and slowly picks up energy as the sun sets.
Cocktails are creative (and a bit expensive), and the crowd is a mix of locals, expats, and visitors who came for the view and stayed for the atmosphere. Tribe gets busy around sunset, especially on weekends, so it’s best to come early if you want one of the good tables near the edge. It may not be for everyone, but it’s definitely a new and fun take on Bangkok nightlife with a tropical twist.

Above Eleven
| 33rd and 34th Floors – Location: Sukhumvit |
Above Eleven has been around for a while and is still one of the best-known rooftops in Sukhumvit Soi 11. I’ve been a few times over the years, and it always has a good energy — lively but not chaotic, and with a view that stretches across the city from the 33rd floor of Fraser Suites.
The design is playful, with metal frames shaped like trees, giving the rooftop a bit of a park-in-the-sky feeling. It’s not a huge space, but there’s enough room to find a quiet corner if you arrive early. Later in the evening, it fills up fast — especially on weekends — so I usually try to be there before sunset to grab a good spot.
Above Eleven is known for its Japanese–Peruvian (Nikkei) menu, which adds something different to the usual bar food. I’ve tried a few of the small plates, which are always well done and easy to share. Drinks are creative but not too fussy, and the bartenders are usually happy to recommend something. It’s a great place to start the night if you’re planning to explore Soi 11 afterwards — or just stay put and enjoy the view with good music and a relaxed crowd. Read more about Above Eleven.

Seen Rooftop Bar
| 27th floor – Location: Thonburi |
SEEN is one of the rooftops I like to bring people to when they want a break from the city centre and something a little more relaxed by the river. It’s on top of the Avani+ Riverside Hotel, directly across from Asiatique The Riverfront, and the view over the Chao Phraya is wide open and really beautiful, especially just before sunset.
The rooftop itself is immense, which makes a big difference. There’s space to move, no sense of being crammed next to other tables, and the seating is genuinely comfortable. I usually go straight for one of the large sofas near the edge — perfect for a long catch-up with a drink in hand while watching the lights come on across the river.
It’s a stylish place, but it doesn’t feel too formal. There’s usually a DJ in the evening, setting a relaxed mood without overpowering the space. The drinks menu has a few creative cocktails, but I usually keep it simple — something cold, a few bar snacks, and let the view do the work.
You can also get there by shuttle boat from Sathorn Pier, which adds a nice touch to the evening. It’s one of those rooftops that feels well-designed, spacious, and easy to enjoy. Read more about SEEN Rooftop Bar.

Throwback Rooftop Bar
| 9th floor – Location: Silom |
Throwback 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.

RedSquare Bar
| 25th floor – Location: Sukhumvit |
RedSquare is a small rooftop bar I’ve visited a couple of times, located on the 25th floor of Novotel Bangkok Sukhumvit 4, right in the middle of the Nana neighbourhood. It’s not very high, but the view over the city reflecting over the large infinity swimming pool is surprisingly good, especially in the evening when the skyline lights up.
What makes RedSquare different is its focus on vodka. The menu features vodkas from all over the world, including some I had never heard of, and many of the cocktails are built around them. I tried one with a mix of Thai herbs and citrus — refreshing and a bit unusual, but it worked.
The atmosphere is casual, with comfortable seating around the infinity pool that adds a nice touch to the setting. It’s usually not too busy, which makes it easier to find a seat and enjoy the view. Food is available too, mostly international bites and bar snacks.

Luz Bangkok Tapas Bar
| 34th floor – Location: Sukhumvit |
LUZ is one of the most vibrant and easy-going rooftop bars I’ve been to in recent months. It’s located on the 34th floor of the INNSiDE by Meliá Bangkok Sukhumvit, and the view over the city is wide and open, especially in the early evening when the lights begin to flicker on. The atmosphere is lively without being overwhelming. On weekdays, there’s a DJ playing easy-going tracks, and on weekends, live bands take over.
What really makes LUZ stand out is the focus on Spanish tapas. There’s a good selection of hot and cold tapas, plus paellas, pintxos, and the usual favourites. Everything is priced individually, so you can just pick a few and try something new each time. I had a few plates with sangria during happy hour (from 5 to 7 pm), and everything came out quickly and full of flavour. The decor is stylish, the seating is comfortable, and the rooftop has that nice balance of being trendy without trying too hard. Read more about Luz.

Cooling Tower at Carlton Hotel
| 34th floor – Location: Sukhumvit |
Cooling Tower Rooftop Bar is a great spot to keep in mind if you’re around Asok or Phrom Phong. It sits on the 34th floor of the Carlton Hotel, just above Sukhumvit Road, with a clear view of the city from two sides — the Siam–Ploenchit skyline on one end and long views over the Rama IV area on the other.
The bar itself is cosy and modern, with very high retractable ceilings that give it an open-air feel even when covered. The layout is smart, and the vibe is relaxed. What caught my eye was the way the BTS Skytrain line runs straight past the base of the hotel; it’s great for photos, especially if you manage to catch the train as it glides into the frame.
From the right-hand side of the bar, the skyline view is quite striking. Around blue hour, when the city lights start coming on, the buildings of Ploenchit and Siam take on this futuristic look, with the towers glowing against the darkening sky.
The drink list is varied, with plenty of cocktails, wine, and spirits. Prices are reasonable for a rooftop at this level, and the team is friendly without being formal. If you’re not in the mood for a full dinner, there are plenty of small bites and dishes to share.
It may not have the riverside charm of other rooftops, but Cooling Tower is an easy-going option for drinks with a view in one of the most convenient areas of Bangkok. Read more about Cooling Tower.

Rocco Club in Khaosan
| 5th floor – Location: Khaosan Road |
Bangkok View Rooftop is a casual spot tucked at the far end of Khaosan Road, and while it doesn’t offer a dramatic skyline, the perspective over the lively street below is worth the climb. You won’t see the river or any big landmarks, but watching the action from above — the neon signs, market stalls, and the endless flow of people — gives the place its charm.
I dropped by after walking through the crowds, and it was a nice little escape. The setting is simple, with basic tables, soft lighting, and a relaxed vibe that matches the Khaosan spirit. The drinks are affordable — mostly local beers, simple cocktails, and a few easy snacks. It’s the kind of place where you sit down, cool off, and stay longer than you planned.
The crowd is mostly travellers and backpackers winding down after a day in the Old Town. It’s not fancy, but if you’re in the area and looking for a break with a cold drink and a view of the street life below, Bangkok View Rooftop is a comfortable place to do just that.
Location: Khaosan Road

Up and Above
| 24th floor – Location: Ploenchit |
Up & 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.
I’ve been there a couple of times when I was looking for a quieter spot with a view of the area. The atmosphere is refined and peaceful, with soft lighting, a minimalist design where you can enjoy a proper conversation without shouting over music.\
The drink menu leans Japanese, with signature cocktails featuring sake, yuzu, and other subtle flavours. There’s also a good wine list and a few premium spirits. If you’re not too hungry, they offer light snacks and small plates, ideal for a late afternoon catch-up or a relaxed business chat.
It’s easy to reach from BTS Phloen Chit, and once you’re up there, the whole mood changes. Up & Above isn’t about flash — it’s about comfort, quality, and a bit of quiet in the middle of the city.

Spectrum Lounge and Bar at Hyatt Regency
| 29th and 30th floors – Location: Sukhumvit |
Spectrum is one of the more polished rooftops in Sukhumvit, and I’ve always liked how it manages to feel a bit more private than some of the flashier bars nearby. Located on the 29th and 30th floors of the Hyatt Regency, it’s tucked away just a few minutes’ walk from Nana BTS, but once you’re up there, the city noise disappears.
The layout is spread across two levels — a spacious indoor lounge with floor-to-ceiling windows and an outdoor rooftop terrace with soft lighting, long sofas, and a great view over the Sukhumvit skyline. I usually skip the lounge and head straight upstairs. It’s especially nice around sunset when the city is still glowing, but the air starts to cool down.
The menu is upscale, both for drinks and food, but the service and setting usually justify it. I’ve had a couple of their cocktails, and while they lean on the creative side, they’re well made. It’s also one of the better rooftops if you’re hungry — the food here is more than just bar snacks. Spectrum is a good pick for a more refined evening out, without being too formal. A comfortable spot to end the day with a view and a proper drink. Read more about Spectrum Lounge.

Belga Rooftop Bar & 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.

Penthouse at Park Hyatt
| 35th floor – Location: Ploenchit |
Penthouse Bar + 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. I’ve stopped by more than once after wandering through the mall — it’s a perfect way to transition from retail therapy to a relaxing evening with a view.
The Penthouse is spread across three floors, and each space has its own mood. There’s the rooftop bar at the top with great views over the city, a whisky room tucked away for quiet drinks, and a dining area that focuses on grilled meats and seafood. The atmosphere is elegant, but not in a way that feels too formal. The drinks list includes premium wines, classic and signature cocktails, and a few rare whiskies.
It’s very easy to reach from BTS Phloen Chit, and once you’re upstairs, the atmosphere is calm and a bit more refined than most rooftops. If you’re looking for a place to wind down after a day around town, Penthouse is a solid choice.

Siwilai City Club
| 5th floor – Location: Ploenchit |
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. It’s open-air, relaxed, and never too crowded; a great place to take a break after walking through the mall.
I’ve been a few times after browsing around Central Embassy, and it feels relaxed and easy-going. The design is stylish but casual, with wooden decks, large tables, comfy lounge chairs, and some greenery that gives a beach club feel in the middle of Bangkok.
The drink menu includes a good mix of cocktails, wines, and local craft beers, and the food is just as solid; a mix of Thai and international favourites with some nice sharing plates. It’s the kind of place where you come for a drink, end up ordering snacks, and stay longer than planned.
The view may not stretch for miles, but it looks out over the Ploenchit skyline with just enough city lights to remind you where you are. Siwilai City Club is perfect for a casual meetup, post-shopping drinks, or just a quiet evening out without the elevator ride to the 60th floor.

Cielo Sky Bar
| 46th floor – Location: Sukhumvit |
Cielo Sky Bar is one of those rooftops I recommend when someone wants a great view without the high prices or the crowds. It’s on the 46th floor of the Sky Walk Condominium near Phra Khanong BTS, and even though it’s not in the usual tourist zone, the view over Bangkok’s skyline is wide and impressive.
What I like about Cielo is how open and spacious it feels. The layout is simple, with plenty of outdoor seating and a glass walkway for those who don’t mind looking straight down. It’s not too busy during the week, so you can usually pick a table near the edge without much trouble. I’ve spent a few quiet evenings here just watching the city lights come on.
The menu includes Thai and Western dishes, and the drink list is solid — nothing too fancy, but everything you’d expect. Prices are more reasonable than most rooftop bars in central Bangkok, which makes it easy to stay for a full meal or linger with a few drinks. It’s not the trendiest rooftop in town, but it’s one of the most comfortable. Read more about Cielo.

Mojjo Rooftop Bar
| 34th floor – Location: Sukhumvit |
Mojjo is a smaller rooftop bar I’ve visited a couple of times, tucked on top of the Compass SkyView Hotel, just behind Emporium Mall and close to Phrom Phong BTS. The location is convenient if you’re shopping or staying in the area, and while it’s not as high as some rooftops, the view over Sukhumvit is still great, especially at sunset.
The space is open and not overly large, but that gives it a more casual and relaxed vibe. There’s a central bar, some lounge seating, and good corners to settle in for a drink with friends. I usually go for a cold beer or one of their gin-based cocktails — nothing too fancy, just easy to enjoy while taking in the view.
There’s often a DJ playing soft house music, and the crowd is a mix of locals and travellers. It never feels too busy, and that’s part of the charm. If you’re looking for a quiet rooftop in the middle of the city where you can actually have a conversation, Mojjo is an easy option. Read more about Mojjo.

Sky on 20 at Novotel
| 26th floor – Location: Sukhumvit |
Sky on 20 is a laid-back rooftop bar on the 26th floor of the Novotel Bangkok Sukhumvit 20. Despite the name, it’s not on the 20th floor — that’s the street number — and the rooftop is a bit tucked away. Getting there is slightly unusual: you take the lift up, then face a modest fire exit door with a small sign. It feels like the wrong way until you push the door, climb a flight of stairs… and find yourself in a surprisingly spacious and well-designed rooftop.
The view here isn’t the main draw. It’s somewhat limited compared to the taller rooftops in town, but it still has a few nice angles. From one side, you get a glimpse of Benjakitti Park and the sleek Millennium Residence towers. If you look further across, you can spot Brewski on top of Radisson Blu nearby. The large retractable roof takes away a bit of the open sky feel, but it keeps things covered if rain rolls in.
The setup is casual, with big sofas facing the skyline and plenty of small tables filling the rest of the space. The atmosphere is friendly, the lighting is soft, and the staff are welcoming and speak great English. The music started off a little heavy on the club vibe during our visit, but shifted to more relaxed sunset tunes soon after. Read more about Sky on 20

Brewski Rooftop Bar
| 30th floor – Location: Sukhumvit |
Brewski is a rooftop I’ve visited a few times when I’m in the Asoke area and in the mood for something casual. It’s on the 30th floor of the Radisson Blu Plaza, and while the view is good, the real draw here is the atmosphere — laid-back, friendly, and focused on craft beer rather than cocktails.
The space is split into two levels, with the main bar on the lower floor and a small upper deck for better views. It’s not impressive, but it’s open-air, comfortable, and usually has a mix of locals, expats, and visitors looking for a relaxed evening above the city.
As the name suggests, Brewski is all about beer. They have a rotating list of local and international craft options on tap, plus a fridge full of bottles. I’m not a beer expert, but it’s always fun to try something new — and the staff is happy to recommend something based on your taste. There’s a food menu with burgers, sausages, and a few bar snacks. I’ve had dinner here once or twice — nothing fancy, but it hits the spot. Brewski is perfect if you want a chilled rooftop without the dress code or loud music. Read more about Brewski.

Speakeasy at Hotel Muse
| 25th floor – Location: Ploenchit |
The Speakeasy at Hotel Muse is a hidden rooftop in the Langsuan area. It’s not the highest or the flashiest, but there’s something about its 1920s-style design and quieter vibe that makes it stand out.
Set across the 24th and 25th floors, The Speakeasy feels more like a hidden retreat than a typical Bangkok rooftop. There are a few indoor rooms with vintage décor — leather chairs, old books, and dim lighting — but the best part is the open terrace with a view over the leafy Langsuan neighbourhood and Bangkok’s city skyline beyond.
The atmosphere is calm, and the crowd is usually well-dressed but not stiff. I’ve been a few times in the early evening and always found it a nice place to relax before dinner. The drinks lean toward classic cocktails, and they’re well-made. There’s also a cigar bar tucked away inside for those who enjoy that kind of thing.
It’s not a party spot or a place to chase sunset photos, but if you like rooftops with character, The Speakeasy has plenty. I usually recommend it to friends looking for something different — a rooftop with a bit of personality and peace. Read more about Speakeasy

342 Bar
| 5th floor – Location: Thonburi |
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, Wat Phra Kaew, and the golden spires of Rattanakosin. At sunset, the whole area glows.
Getting there is part of the experience. You can take a ferry across from Tha Chang Pier or just walk from Wang Lang Market if you’re already on this side of the river. Once you arrive, the rooftop is small and simple, with a handful of tables and a casual setup. It’s quiet, relaxed, and refreshingly free of crowds.
Drinks are reasonably priced, with cold beers, a few classic cocktails, and some Thai dishes if you’re hungry. It’s not fancy — no dress code, no elaborate presentation — but that’s exactly the appeal. The real star here is the uninterrupted river view and the peaceful setting, especially compared to the more hectic rooftops across the water.

Bar 9 at Novotel Platinum
| 9th floor – Location: Siam |
Bar9 Beer Garden is a casual and friendly rooftop bar on the 9th floor of the Novotel Bangkok Platinum, right in the edge of Pratunam. It’s not very high but still offers a wide view over Ratchaprasong Intersection, CentralWorld, and the busy road below.
The view isn’t wide open like on taller rooftops, but you can see across to Ratchaprasong, with lots of movement down below. I usually come here when I want a quick break from the heat or shopping, just to sit down with a cold beer and let the noise fade out for a while.
There’s no pressure here. The menu is simple: local beers, some international options, a few cocktails, and snacks like fried chicken or spring rolls. It’s not fancy, but the setting is comfortable, and the prices are fair.
Bar9 works best as a casual break between errands, but it is ot really a destination rooftop. But if you’re in the area and want to sit above the crowd with something cold in hand, it’s a good spot to take a break.
