The Complete Bangkok Rooftop Bar Guide 2026

Bangkok built its reputation on the rooftop. The Sky Bar at Lebua on the 63rd floor became the most famous sky bar in the world after The Hangover Part II, and the city has not slowed since (lebua.com). Our editors track 10 Bangkok rooftops. Below they are ranked by rating, then walked through by area, so you can plan a night around where you are staying.

Riverside and Bang Rak

Sky Bar at Lebua sits in Bang Rak and rates 4.6 with our editors. It is top-end; the house pour to order is the Hangovertini. Set on the dome of State Tower above the Chao Phraya, it is the view every first-time visitor wants. It gets busy, so come early in the evening for the sunset over the river.

Three Sixty Lounge sits in Khlong San and rates 4.5 with our editors. It is upper-tier; the house pour to order is the Three Sixty Sour. Across the river at Millennium Hilton, this glass-walled lounge gives you the State Tower skyline rather than standing on it, which many regulars prefer for photos.

Sathon

Vertigo at Banyan Tree sits in Sathon and rates 4.6 with our editors. It is top-end; the house pour to order is the Bangkok 75. On the 61st floor of Banyan Tree, Vertigo and Moon Bar is open air with no walls and no roof, just the skyline below. Multiple Bangkok guides rate it the most romantic sunset seat in the city (Thailand Starts Here).

Park Society sits in Sathon and rates 4.5 with our editors. It is top-end; the house pour to order is the Lumpini Mule. At the Sofitel So overlooking Lumpini Park, Park Society pairs a green view by day with the lit skyline at night. The crowd is dressed up.

Sukhumvit, Thonglor and Asok

Octave Rooftop Lounge sits in Watthana and rates 4.5 with our editors. It is upper-tier; the house pour to order is the Octave Spritz. A three-level rooftop at the Marriott Sukhumvit, easy to reach from BTS Thonglo, with 360-degree views and a livelier crowd than the riverside bars (Tale Soup Travel).

Sky on 20 sits in Watthana and rates 4.4 with our editors. It is upper-tier; the house pour to order is the Sky Mojito. On top of the Novotel Sukhumvit 20, this is a relaxed, well-priced option for a first drink before the night gets going.

Above Eleven sits in Watthana and rates 4.4 with our editors. It is upper-tier; the house pour to order is the Above Eleven Spritz. Above Eleven blends a Peruvian-Japanese kitchen with a garden rooftop in Sukhumvit, a change of pace from the glass towers.

Zoom Sky Bar sits in Watthana and rates 4.4 with our editors. It is upper-tier; the house pour to order is the Zoom Sour. At the Anantara Sathorn end of Sukhumvit, Zoom is a smaller, calmer terrace that rarely needs a long wait.

Long Table sits in Watthana and rates 4.4 with our editors. It is upper-tier; the house pour to order is the Long Table 75. A 25th-floor restaurant bar known for its long communal table and skyline-edge pool, good for a group.

Siam and Pathum Wan

CRU Champagne Bar sits in Pathum Wan and rates 4.5 with our editors. It is top-end; the house pour to order is the Champagne Flight. On the 59th floor of Red Sky at Centara Grand, CRU is a champagne-led rooftop in the centre of the city, a short walk from the Siam shopping district.

How to get in: dress code, booking and timing

Bangkok rooftops run a smart-casual dress code. Most refuse sleeveless shirts and open-toed shoes for men, and athletic shorts are a common reason to be turned away (Our Travel Mix). Closed shoes and a collared shirt clear the door at every bar on this list.

Book ahead. The headline rooftops fill their sunset slots days in advance, and walk-ins are seated late or turned away. Aim to arrive before 6:30pm. Sunset is the view, and the crowd builds fast once the sky turns (Phuket101).

Expect a premium on drinks at the tower bars. A signature cocktail at Sky Bar or Vertigo runs well above street prices, which is the trade for the height. The Sukhumvit rooftops are gentler on the bill.
