Live the high life, literally, when you visit one of the many sky bars in Bangkok. The ultimate destinations for a chic and classy night out, and let’s not forget those unforgettable views, rooftop bars can be found all over the city. For many visitors, the higher the bars are, the better, though don’t write-off those that are on lower buildings, they can be just as good when it comes to ambiance and the quality of drinks and cocktails. And remember, these are classy places so dress to impress – no sleeveless shirts for men, no sandals, and no shorts, and torn looking jeans might get you refused entry as well.
So if you’re looking for the best sky bar in Bangkok, read on as we have the Top 20 Sky Bars in Bangkok…
1. Vertigo and Moon Bar, Banyan Tree Hotel
Our number one best sky bar in Bangkok is the Vertigo and Moon Bar! Set up on the 61st floor of the Banyan Tree Hotel this is one of the highest sky bars in the city, and as the name suggests it’s probably not the ideal place to bring someone who doesn’t like heights! But, if you’re ok with the heights you’re in for an amazing night out enjoying the beautiful views over the city and the winding river. The views aren’t too dissimilar to Sky Bar at Lebua and despite the fact that this place doesn’t have a Hollywood accolade it makes number one on our list because it’s quieter and more relaxed than Sky Bar. Here you actually have the chance to sit and enjoy the views while relaxing over a cocktail whereas there you’ll be competing for elbow room. Vertigo restaurant is at one end of this completely open rooftop venue and the Moon Bar is at the other, connected together via an open-air bridge, this place really is everything what you would expect from a sky bar in Bangkok!
