Last reviewed June 25, 2026 · How we pick bars

  1. 01

    21 rooftops, in order.

    Ordered by editor consensus. The top three are the canon. The lower entries are where to go on a quieter night to avoid the cover charge and the tour group.

  2. 02

    Sky Bar at Lebua

    Rooftop Bars

    The 63rd-floor rooftop made famous by The Hangover Part II is still one of the highest open-air bars in Bangkok. The Hangovertini exists because tourists ask for it. Skip the hype, take the Champagne Flight, and sit at the gold dome at the corner of the deck. Dress code is enforced.

  3. 03

    Vertigo at Banyan Tree

    Rooftop Bars

    Vertigo at Banyan Tree sits on the 61st floor and feels like a yacht moored above Sathorn. The Bangkok 75 is the right pour. Two seatings most nights, the second is calmer. Wind permitting. Book at least two days ahead on weekends or you eat at the lower-level Moon Bar.

  4. 04

    Park Society

    Rooftop Bars

    The 29th-floor rooftop of the Sofitel So on North Sathorn Road, looking over Lumphini Park. The Park 75 is the order. Open daily from 6pm. The half-moon outdoor lounge is where to sit. Less crowded than Sky Bar on a Tuesday, and the drinks list runs deeper.

  5. 05

    CRU Champagne Bar

    Rooftop Bars

    The 59th-floor Champagne deck above CentralWorld, run by Centara. The Champagne Flight is what brings people. The view sweeps from Lumphini Park to the Chao Phraya, which is the entire skyline in one frame. Reservations strongly recommended for the outer rail seats.

  6. 06

    Octave Rooftop Lounge

    Rooftop Bars

    Three levels of open-air drinking above the Marriott Sukhumvit 57, with the top floor offering a 360-degree view. The Octave Spritz is the easy order. Cover charge sometimes applies on weekends. Less formal than Sky Bar or Vertigo, and the prices reflect that.

  7. 07

    Three Sixty Lounge

    Rooftop Bars

    The 32nd-floor lounge at the Millennium Hilton on the Thonburi side of the river. The Three Sixty Sour reads like a postcard. The view back across the Chao Phraya at sunset is the best argument for crossing the bridge. Live jazz nightly from 8.30pm.

  8. 08

    Above Eleven

    Rooftop Bars

    Above Eleven sits on the 33rd floor of the Fraser Suites on Sukhumvit 11 and runs a Latin American kitchen and bar program. The Above Eleven Mojito is the order. Open from 6pm. Best for a starter rooftop on a multi-bar Sukhumvit night.

  9. 09

    Zoom Sky Bar

    Rooftop Bars

    The 40th-floor rooftop above the Anantara Bangkok Sathorn. The Zoom 75 is the cocktail. Less famous than Vertigo or Sky Bar, which is the entire pitch. The west-facing rail catches the sunset over the river and the prices land 25 percent under the named rooftops.

  10. 10

    Long Table

    Rooftop Bars

    The 25th-floor rooftop of the Column Bangkok on Sukhumvit 16, built around a single 24-metre table. The Long Table Cosmo is the order. Open daily. The view over Asoke is the practical reason to come and the food menu is more reliable than at most rooftops.

  11. 11

    Sky on 20

    Rooftop Bars

    A 26th-floor rooftop above the Novotel Sukhumvit 20, used mostly by hotel guests and Asoke office workers. The Sky Mojito is fine. Best for an after-work drink without the queue or the cover charge that the famous rooftops demand. Open daily until 1am.

  12. 12

    Above Riva

    Rooftop Bars

    Above Riva sits on the Riva Surya Hotel roof on Phra Athit. Chao Phraya sunset seats, hours, what to order, who it is for. Reviewed barsforKings 2026.

  19. 19

    Ojo Bangkok

    Rooftop Bars

    Cooling Tower

    Rooftop Bars

    Cooling Tower tops the 34th floor of the Carlton Hotel Bangkok Sukhumvit with a wraparound terrace and retractable ceilings. Marble tables, tapas, and sunset cocktails draw an after-work crowd with two-sided city views.
