5 Best rooftop bars in Bangkok
1. Speakeasy Rooftop Bar, Muse Hotel
Nestled on the 24th and 25th floor of Hotel Muse, the Speakeasy Rooftop Bar may not be overly high. However, it does offer panoramic views of the gigantic skyscrapers around it. True to its name, this award-winning rooftop bar has a bit of a ‘speakeasy vibe.’ It has an opulent and sophisticated ambience, with stunning American 1920s-prohibition-era-inspired decor. Besides the fantastic views and unique vibe, the classic vintage cocktails are also incredible. They have an extensive selection of fine wines and gin. In addition, you can choose gin, tonic, and add-ons to make your own gin-tonic configuration. Compared to most other rooftop bars in Bangkok, the drinks are really cheap.
Opening hours: Open daily from 6pm to 12am.
Address: Hotel Muse Bangkok, 55/555 Langsuan Road Lumpini Pathum Wan, Bangkok 10330.

You can both relax and enjoy the sunset here or experience the city’s lively nightlife to its fullest. With 3 floors to choose from, you can pick the one that best suits your mood. The lounge on the 1st level has a chic and relaxing atmosphere.

Lebua State Tower, with its beautiful golden dome, is home to Bangkok’s most famous rooftop bar. Sitting on the 64th and 65th floor, Sky Bar by Lebua is a fabulous place with breathtaking city and river views. Its popularity is due in part to its feature in the film Hangover II, which is why it’s on many tourists’ to-do lists. If you can withstand the crowds, this rooftop bar is possibly the best place to watch the sun setting over the Chao Phraya River. In addition to the magnificent views, the cocktails here are well-made and creative.
Opening hours: Open daily from 5pm to 12am.
Address: Lebua at State Tower, 1055 Si Lom, Silom, Bang Rak, Bangkok 10500.

Another famous rooftop bar in Bangkok is the Vertigo and Moon Bar. It is actually a double setting; the restaurant is called Vertigo, while the bar is called Moon Bar. Situated 61 floors above the bustling streets of Bangkok, it is one of the few rooftop bars in Bangkok where nothing else is above you. Therefore, you can get a breathtaking bird-eye-view of Bangkok spreading as far as your eyes can see. On a clear night, you can see the setting sun light up the river as well. It is very similar to Sky Bar at Lebua, however, it is much more relaxed and quieter. You can actually sit and enjoy the views here, instead of competing for a place to stand.
