Balancing tradition with urban flair, Bangkok stands tall, quite literally, when it comes to vibrant nightlife. While temples, floating markets, and centuries of rich culture offer plenty to explore by day, it’s the city’s rooftop bars that steal the spotlight after dark. From luxe lounges perched atop glittering skyscrapers to relaxed terraces with river views, Bangkok’s skyline is dotted with elevated escapes that blend Thai hospitality with sophistication. Whether you're sipping craft cocktails under the stars or watching the sun set behind temple spires, the city delivers high-altitude experiences that are as unforgettable as its street food. Raise a glass at any (or all) of these rooftop bars in Bangkok.
Sky Bar at Lebua State Tower
Sky Bar, one of the world's tallest rooftop bars, is located 820 feet high on the jutting edge of Lebua State Tower. It is more than just a Bangkok icon – it's about glamour and sophisticated mixology. The bar's iconic cocktails and stunning vistas of the Chao Phraya River are still popular among locals and tourists, thanks to its popularity gained from its use in filming scenes in The Hangover Part II. While Hangovertini is Sky Bar’s classic go-to option, there are inventive seasonal cocktails infused with Thai flavours, crafted to leave a lasting impression. The cocktails are the stars, but the bar’s commitment to fine dining and attentive service has earned it numerous awards over the years.
Tichuca Rooftop Bar
Tichuca isn’t just another rooftop bar in Bangkok — it’s a complete sensory escape high above the city streets. Set beneath a glowing, LED-lit tree canopy that pulses with colour, the atmosphere is always electric. The DJ keeps the energy alive, the cocktails keep you swaying, and the whole space feels like a tropical holiday. Enjoy the visual drama with jungle-inspired concoctions that blend unexpected ingredients with flair — think fruity infusions, layered flavours, and Instagram-worthy presentations. And while it’s the sweeping skyline views that draw you in, it’s the laid-back vibe, fun crowd, and imaginative drinks that make you want to stay all night.
