Are you heading to Bangkok soon and looking for great spots to go out and experience the electric atmosphere of Thailand’s capital? There’s nothing better than gaining some height at a rooftop bar. The Asiajet.com team, based in Bangkok, shares its top 5 best rooftops in Bangkok for going out, enjoying a drink, having dinner, and above all, soaking in breathtaking views of a city that never sleeps!
Vertigo & Moon Bar
We begin with a very well-known rooftop — but one that remains absolutely unmissable for anyone wanting to be truly amazed. The rooftop restaurant Vertigo and its Moon Bar, located on the 61st floor of the Banyan Tree Hotel, are famous for their 360-degree panoramic views and prime location in the heart of the city’s skyscrapers. It’s a popular spot among travelers and locals alike, especially after work. Often crowded, we recommend booking in advance if you plan to have dinner there. Our favorite? The ultra-fresh seafood platter!
Brewski Rooftop Bar
A more relaxed rooftop bar in Bangkok, located atop the Radisson Blu Hotel in the Sukhumvit district, Brewski is the perfect place to unwind at the end of the day while sampling one of their many craft beers. The view is wide open and the atmosphere laid-back and unpretentious — ideal for those who want to enjoy the skyline without the party vibe.
Above Eleven
A trendy décor sets the tone at this rooftop located in Sukhumvit’s business (and nightlife) district. Our team knows this address well, as we often go there ourselves. We especially love the fusion of flavors, with a menu inspired by Peruvian-Asian cuisine for a truly original experience. This venue perfectly reflects Bangkok’s eclectic spirit, where there is truly something for everyone, and it is considered one of the best rooftop bars in Bangkok!
Red Sky Rooftop Bar
One of the more recent rooftop bars in the Siam district, Red Sky is just steps away from major shopping malls and the vast Pratunam Market. While it doesn’t necessarily offer river views, its terrace is surrounded by towering buildings, giving you the sensation of being at the very heart of a sprawling megacity — which Bangkok certainly is!
Roof 409
For our final recommendation, this is not one of the highest rooftops in Bangkok, but rather a friendly and welcoming address where many locals come to enjoy a glass of wine after work. Located just steps from Chitlom BTS station, Roof 409 is nestled among several shopping malls, yet offers a surprisingly beautiful sunset view. It’s also far more affordable than many other rooftops — perfect for travelers who want to experience a Bangkok rooftop without overspending. A good enough reason to include it among the best rooftops in Bangkok!
There are countless rooftops in Bangkok, and this selection is far from exhaustive. We hope you enjoyed it!
