15 Best Rooftop Bars in Bangkok: Best Views, Drinks & Price
From 300 THB casual sunset spots to 1,000+ THB bucket-list cocktails
Bangkok's rooftop scene spans three real price tiers, from 300 THB casual sunset spots to over 1,000 THB "bucket-list" cocktails at the city's most iconic bars. Here are 15 real options, each with the view, the drink, and the price.
1Mahanakhon SkyWalk (Sky Beach Bangkok)
78th floor, Silom, BTS Chong Nonsi. The highest rooftop in Thailand at 314 metres, with 360-degree views and a smart-casual, deep-house atmosphere. Average cocktail runs around 480 THB.
2Sky Bar at Lebua
63rd floor, Silom (State Tower). Specifically called "the granddaddy, the legend," the most dramatic river view of any bar on this list, but the price reflects it. Expect 500 to 700 THB per cocktail, and book ahead Friday and Saturday, walk-ins are accepted Tuesday through Thursday.
3Vertigo & Moon Bar (Banyan Tree)
61st floor, Sathorn. Consistently ranked the best rooftop overall, panoramic 360-degree views and well-crafted cocktails paired with a strict dress code, jackets required for men. Cocktails start around 1,100 THB, specifically pitched at couples and conversation rather than a party crowd.
4Octave Rooftop Lounge (Marriott)
45th to 49th floor, Sukhumvit/Thonglor. A party venue first, a view venue second, and the expat favourite for years running. Cocktails run around 450 THB, with 50% off signature cocktails during happy hour, usually 5 to 7pm.
5Above Eleven
33rd floor, Sukhumvit Soi 11. Works better as a dinner reservation with drinks than a pure drinks stop, the Nikkei menu is genuinely the draw here. Cocktails start from around 380 THB. The tradeoff is the noisy Soi 11 street level below, which the rooftop only partially absorbs.
6Red Sky
55th floor, Siam (CentralWorld). A convenient after-shopping stop given its CentralWorld location, panoramic skyline views over Bangkok's retail heart.
7Akara Sky Hanuman
61st floor, Ploenchit. The second-highest rooftop in the city, specifically noted for a better atmosphere than some of the more crowded, tourist-heavy spots at a similar altitude.
8Amorosa (Arun Residence)
Low-rise, Old Town. The specific draw here is the direct view of Wat Arun across the river, a genuinely different perspective from the high-rise towers dominating most of this list, and a strong pick for couples.
9Seen (Avani+ Riverside)
26th floor, Riverside. A solid option if you're staying riverside and don't want to trek across the city to Silom or Sathorn for a rooftop experience.
10Tichuca (The Jellyfish)
T-One Building, Phra Khanong (Sukhumvit 40). Genuinely viral on TikTok in recent years, walk-in only with no reservations accepted, worth knowing before you plan your night around it.
11Pastel Rooftop Bar & Mediterranean Dining
Sukhumvit Soi 11 (Aira Hotel). A Mediterranean party atmosphere in the middle of Soi 11's chaos, cocktails run 340 to 650 THB, alongside crudo, seafood, and a solid wine selection.
12Escape Bangkok
5th floor, Phrom Phong (EmQuartier). Doesn't have the altitude of the taller bars on this list, but makes up for it with a tropical beach-club vibe. Cocktails run 340 to 380 THB, with a buy-one-get-one happy hour from 5 to 7pm.
13TRIBE Sky Beach Club
5th floor, Phrom Phong, BTS Phrom Phong. An infinity pool beach club with daylife park views, average cocktail around 425 THB, though a minimum spend of 2,000 to 5,000 THB applies after 5pm.
14CRU Champagne Bar
58th floor, Siam. An exclusive, champagne-focused experience, a distinctive pick if bubbles specifically, rather than cocktails, are what you're after.
15Baiyoke Sky Tower
84th floor, Pratunam. The tallest building on this entire list, with a genuinely distinctive rotating open-air deck, a rare feature among Bangkok's rooftops.

Quick reference by price tier
| Tier | Cocktail price | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Value | 200–350 THB | Escape Bangkok, RedSquare, Cielo |
| Mid-range | 350–500 THB | Octave, Above Eleven, TRIBE Sky Beach |

Practical tips
Book Vertigo, Octave, or Above Eleven in advance for weekends, all three specifically fill up and turn away walk-ins during peak hours.
Check Tichuca's walk-in-only policy before planning your night around it, no reservations means no guaranteed table on a busy evening.
Time Octave or Escape Bangkok for happy hour specifically, both offer meaningful discounts, 50% off and buy-one-get-one respectively, between 5 and 7pm.
Dress smart casual as the baseline everywhere, and check Vertigo's stricter jacket requirement for men specifically before you go.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming every rooftop bar on this list charges bucket-list prices. Value-tier spots like Escape Bangkok and Pastel run as low as 300 to 400 THB per cocktail.
- Showing up to Sky Bar or Vertigo on a Friday or Saturday without a reservation, both specifically recommend booking ahead on weekend nights.
- Treating TRIBE Sky Beach Club as a casual, no-commitment stop. The minimum spend after 5pm is a real cost to factor in before you sit down.
- Overlooking lower-altitude options like Amorosa or Escape Bangkok in favour of only the tallest towers, height isn't the only thing that makes a rooftop worth visiting, Amorosa's direct Wat Arun view is a genuinely different draw.
