11 Best Rooftop Bars in Bangkok (Updated 2024)

Bangkok is hot and humid almost every day, so when a cool, fresh breeze comes along, you won't be able to resist going out for dinner and enjoying the outdoors. Why not enjoy moments at a rooftop bar in Bangkok during your trip to Thailand?

Bangkok has many fantastic bars. Many of these are located in the city's large hotels. Unlike many other cities, where rooftop bars are only open seasonally, Bangkok's sky bars welcome visitors year-round thanks to the city's good weather.

Let's take a look at the list of the best bars with a view in Bangkok with Asiatica Travel:

1. Central Bangkok

Sky Beach at The Standard Bangkok Mahanakhon

• The Standard Bangkok Mahanakhon is certainly the highest rooftop bar in the city, with panoramic views of the entire city. Located on the 78th floor of the hotel, the modern yellow bar serves creative cocktails, accompanied by casual American dishes and a live DJ. Justly listed as one of the best hotels in Bangkok, The Standard is a visual design collection from head to toe, with bold and expressive interiors created in collaboration with Spanish designer Jaime Hayon. This rooftop bar in Bangkok is open daily from 10:00 AM to midnight and operates on a first-come, first-served basis

For drinks, head to the 35th floor, where three unique venues await: a cocktail lounge, a whisky bar, and a private room called The Mezzanine. If indoor space doesn’t appeal to you, skip it all and head straight to the rooftop terrace, where an open bar and outdoor garden await. Here you can enjoy the fresh breeze, delicious cocktails, and small bites while admiring Bangkok's skyline.

Bar.Yard at Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok

• Imagine a garden meeting with friends but with dazzling views of Lumphini Park and the sprawling skyscrapers behind, and you have Bar.Yard. Since opening in late 2020, this relaxing tropical-themed bar has become one of Langsuan’s most popular spots. Come early to grab a table on the terrace and watch the sun set behind the city skyline. The menu features BBQ and Tex-Mex specialties, and we recommend pairing them with some of the stronger rooftop bar cocktails, like the Navy Grog, which will make your head spin with its three different types of rum mixed with honey. DJs play soul, funk, electronic, and world music for a fun and lively atmosphere.

Climb to the 24th floor, where there is a stunning view of Langsuan Road and the skyscrapers. After a drink or two, look for the secret door leading upstairs, where an outdoor lawn, an elegant canopy, and panoramic views of the city center await you. Enjoy the fun of the Great Gatsby with original classics like the Manhattan or the Sazerac, or step up with exclusive drinks: just ask the bartender what’s delicious.

This is one of the most beautiful views of the temple, brilliantly lit across the Chao Phraya River. The style of the rooftop bar is modern, hippie, and informal, so feel free to come here (sweating due to Bangkok’s humidity is normal).

Local craft beers are also available at a reasonable price, with spectacular views on display. To help you speed up consumption, order sharing dishes like shrimp spring rolls or spicy seafood salad.
