1. Sky Bar (Our Top Pick)
Wrapping our list with The Iconic Sky Bar. And seriously, I can’t think of a more iconic rooftop bar.
This place is literally on a whole different level.
It’s the highest rooftop bar in Bangkok, 63 floors up! In fact, the 3rd highest in the entire world.
That alone is a big wow!!!
And if it feels like a déjà vu, chances are you’ve probably seen it in The Hangover Part II.
But it’s way better in person. The energy, the view, the feeling of standing above it all. Literally UNREAL.
Not to mention that massive glowing golden dome, really iconic.
Moreover, there are six different bars up there, all under the same glamorous rooftop. Yet, every corner has its own vibe.
The 360 view is absolutely breathtaking. Sky bar ticks all the boxes, no doubt about it.
However, it’s probably the most expensive bar on this list, so that’s something to consider.
Other than that, it’s totally worth it for a special night. Particularly, if you’re going to splurge once, do it here.
No reservation required, just walk-in basis.
