My 10 Favorite Bangkok Rooftop Bars

Starting strong is View Rooftop Bangkok, rated 4.8/5 from over 2,190 reviews – super popular for good reason! What makes it stand out? It opens at 10:00 AM every day, which is quite unusual for a rooftop bar. This means you can enjoy a Mediterranean lunch or an early afternoon cocktail with those great city views from the 9th floor of the Novotel Bangkok Platinum Pratunam. It's not the highest bar, but the relaxed vibe and convenient location at 220 Thanon Phetchaburi make it a fantastic choice if you’re exploring the Pratunam area. Price varies, so call to confirm, but it’s a solid pick for any time of day.

Above Eleven is a real crowd-pleaser, with a 4.6/5 rating from a massive 6,476 reviews. This place is famous for its Peruvian and Japanese fusion cuisine, making it more than just a bar – it’s a full dining experience. Located in Fraser Suites on Sukhumvit Road, it's open from 5:00 PM to 2:00 AM daily. If you plan to eat, definitely try their sushi or a Peruvian dish with your cocktail. It gets busy, especially around sunset, so arriving a bit earlier might snag you a better spot. This Bangkok rooftop bar offers lively vibes and great food.

For those seeking panoramic views, Octave Rooftop Lounge & Bar is a classic choice, boasting a 4.4/5 rating from 6,201 reviews. You'll find it on Sukhumvit Road, open from 5:00 PM to 2:00 AM daily. It's known for its stunning 360-degree cityscape, which is truly something to see as the city lights up. While it can feel a bit like a tourist hotspot due to its popularity, the sheer scale of the view makes it worth a visit. It’s a great spot to bring friends who are new to Bangkok to show off the city's dazzling skyline.

Bangkok Heightz Rooftop Bar, with its impressive 4.8/5 rating from 3,351 reviews, offers a delightful combination of great views and delicious Thai food. Located on the 39th floor of 413 Sukhumvit Road, it's open from 5:00 PM to 2:00 AM. If you're looking to enjoy authentic Thai cuisine alongside your drinks and views, this is a fantastic choice. The higher floor means sweeping vistas of the city. It’s a good alternative to places that only offer Western bar snacks, letting you enjoy local flavors in a sky-high setting.

Here's a unique one: Tulum Skybar, rated 4.4/5 by 1,395 reviewers, is open 24 hours a day! Yes, you read that right – 24 hours! This means you can catch a sunrise drink, a late-night cocktail, or even a super early breakfast with a view. Located at 559 Soi Sukhumvit 63, it serves as both a restaurant and a cocktail bar. If you have an unusual schedule or just want to see Bangkok from above at an unconventional time, Tulum Skybar has you covered. It's a truly flexible Bangkok rooftop bar experience.

Paradise Lost Bangkok brings a moderate price level and a solid 4.6/5 rating from 417 reviews. This bar and restaurant on Rama I Road is open from 5:00 PM to 1:00 AM. With fewer reviews than some of the giants, it might offer a slightly more relaxed atmosphere, which can be lovely if you want to avoid the biggest crowds. It's a great spot to unwind with friends, grab a casual dinner, and enjoy the city lights without feeling overwhelmed. Think of it as a friendly, welcoming Bangkok rooftop bar option.

Tichuca Rooftop Bar, despite having the most reviews (7,166!) and a 4.2/5 rating, is one of the most talked-about spots. It's a moderate price level cocktail bar on the 46th floor of T-one Building, Soi Sukhumvit 40, open 5:00 PM to 1:00 AM. Be warned: its popularity means it often gets very crowded. If you don't mind a lively, bustling atmosphere and are ready to stand, the unique tree-like light installation makes for a cool backdrop. Go early if you want any chance of a seat.

For a truly special evening, consider SIN Rooftop Bar Bangkok. It boasts the highest rating on our list at 4.9/5 from 1,377 reviews. However, it’s also listed as "Very Expensive." Located at the Avani+ Riverside Bangkok Hotel, it's open from 5:00 PM to 1:00 AM.
