Best Rooftop Restaurants in Bangkok, Ranked

Sky Bar sits on the 63rd floor of the State Tower in Bang Rak, next to the restaurant Sirocco, and became globally known after appearing in the 2011 film The Hangover Part II. The open-air, ring-shaped bar has no walls between guests and the 247-meter drop to Silom Road below. It draws the largest crowds of any venue on this list, which means longer waits without a reservation.

Best for: Iconic sunset views and film-location fame

Vertigo and Moon Bar occupies the 61st floor of the Banyan Tree Bangkok on South Sathorn Road, split between an open-air lounge (Moon Bar) and a full outdoor grill restaurant (Vertigo). Tables at Vertigo sit under a canopy roof with no glass barrier, giving a 360-degree view over Sathorn and the Chao Phraya River. It has repeatedly featured in international roundups of the world's best rooftop bars.

Best for: Open-air fine dining with a 360-degree skyline view

The King Power Mahanakhon SkyWalk sits on the 78th floor of a 314-meter tower in Silom, the highest publicly accessible outdoor level in Thailand, and includes a glass floor tray for looking straight down. A bar and restaurant operate on the level, though the venue is marketed primarily as an observation deck with food and drink service rather than a standalone restaurant. It opened to the public in 2018.

Best for: Highest vantage point in Bangkok

Octave Rooftop Lounge and Bar spans three connected floors, from the 45th to the 49th, atop the Bangkok Marriott Hotel Sukhumvit on Soi 57 in the Thong Lo area. The top level is fully open-air and wraps around the building for a genuine 360-degree view, unusual among Bangkok rooftop venues that typically face only one direction. It functions mainly as a bar with a snack and small-plates menu rather than full dinner service.

Visitor note (Google Maps) "This is a rooftop bar offering a breathtaking view of Bangkok at night."

Best for: 360-degree views over the Thong Lo nightlife district

Red Sky occupies the 55th floor of Centara Grand at CentralWorld in the Ratchaprasong shopping district, one of the few rooftop venues with a direct view down onto a major retail and event plaza rather than a river or residential skyline. The multi-tiered room combines a bar area with a full-service restaurant kitchen. Its location makes it one of the easiest rooftop venues to reach on foot from Bangkok's main shopping streets.

Best for: Views over the CentralWorld shopping district

Above Eleven sits on the 33rd floor of Fraser Suites Sukhumvit, just off Sukhumvit Soi 11, and is built around a Peruvian-Asian fusion kitchen rather than a Western bar-food menu, a point of difference from most other entries on this list. The lower floor height than its competitors means a closer, more street-level view of the Sukhumvit skyline rather than a sweeping citywide panorama.

Best for: Peruvian-Asian fusion dining with sunset views

ThreeSixty Lounge sits on the 32nd floor of the Millennium Hilton Bangkok on the Thonburi side of the Chao Phraya River, the lowest floor level among the venues covered here. What it lacks in height it makes up for with an unobstructed river-level view back toward the Bang Rak and Silom skyline, since no other tall buildings sit directly across the water on that stretch of riverbank.

Best for: Riverside sunset views over the Chao Phraya
