Best View of Bangkok – Where to go?
The best views of Bangkok from above can be experienced by coming to certain high places in the city. Bangkok at night is an awesome sight with its sparkling lights that looks like a busy colorful night sky below. During the morning, the city can be seen from above like a modern heavenly place with white smoke.
The following are several places where Bangkok can be best viewed with a treat of nice dining and drinking..
The Sky Bar
This bar in the 63rd floor of the State Tower is the hottest spot for tourists when they want to see the whole of Bangkok at night. This open-air bar has an amazing view of Bangkok from above.
There is a roofed lounge where guests can stay and have a good time. The bar imposes a dress code where no shorts and sandals are allowed; therefore you have to wear pants or long skirts and shoes.
Vertigo Grill and Moon Bar
This bar is located at the Banyan Tree Hotel. Beautiful Bangkok can be viewed in a 360 degrees angle at the 61st floor of the building. The bar offers great wine and a cool place to sit back and relax while listening to music. There are live bands that play soothing music until late at night.
Three Sixty Lounge
This bar is located at the 32nd floor of the Millennium Hilton Hotel. The bar offers a great view of the city and the Chao Phraya River. The place can be chilly because it is air conditioned.
Feel the rhythm of the live jazz and slow music. Enjoy the dim lights and view Bangkok while you sip some champagne. Three Sixty Lounge is a favorite bar of many returning visitors to Thailand.
The Long Table
This place sports a 75 feet long table that heads towards the lounge where guests can view the whole of downtown Bangkok. The place is a classy restaurant and guests dine at this very long yet refined table. Take advantage of the cool cocktails they offer. There is much to look at in this place both inside and outside.
55 at Central World
There are fantastic views of Bangkok which can be seen from clear and see-through fence walls. You can have fun taking photographs. Get some steak that is as soft as butter in the restaurant afterwards.
55 offers many things for shoppers and tourists. You can find numerous shopping stalls and restaurants that offer Thai food as well as Western dishes.
The Nest at Le Fenix Hotel
You can have a great view of the city even at mornings. This place is great for close friends and lovers. You can have a great time cuddling in public while looking down at the nightlights of Bangkok.
Lovers are most welcome here as the name of the place implies. Great Thai food is offered. Come with your partner and make the most of your time together looking down at the wonderful city lights.
Baiyoke Sky Hotel
The Baiyoke Sky hotel is Thailand’s tallest building. There are several restaurants and bars here that offer great views of the city. At the top of the hotel there is a revolving deck that should not be missed. Take a look at the video below to see the 360 degree view in fast motion.

All of these places are quite expensive so they might not suit everybody. And which one has the best view of Bangkok depends on who you ask. But you are sure to have a night to remember so we highly recommend visiting one of them.
You forgot to mention the new Above 11 at the Fraser Suites rooftop! 🙂
Thanks for the tip Sharin. We will see if find the time to add that to the post.
Baiyoke Sky is my favorite 🙂
Mine too Jay 🙂
