Bar.Yard
Bar.Yard at the Kimpton Maa-Lai hotel takes a more relaxed party vibe for the night owls. With an unmistakably playful approach at 40 floors up, the tropical garden interior theme softens the edges of the usual sky-bar experience in the Thai capital. Find a blend of Thai, Southeast Asian and Pan-Latin influences here. Peruvian chef Julio César […]
Tichuca Rooftop Bar
Tichuca Rooftop Bar offers something a tad wilder. Set on the 46th floor, it has become known for its glowing, Avatar-like lighting and jellyfish-style installations.

Spread across two levels with a more formal restaurant as well as open rooftop, it pairs skyline views with midnight dim sum and golden sweeping views over the Chao Phraya River. The atmosphere is less shouty than […]
The Speakeasy at Hotel Muse
At Hotel Muse, the Speakeasy feels like a small, stylish act of time travel. Hidden above the bustle of Bangkok’s streets, it trades on the pleasures of discovery: the hidden door, the soft lighting, the old-world tailoring of the room. Whilst many Bangkok rooftop bars can feel touristy, here its more like you slipped away […]
Sky Beach
At the top of the list, quite literally, is Sky Beach Bangkok at The Standard, Mahanakhon. Perched on the 78th floor, it bills itself as the Thai capital’s highest rooftop bar. Come here for a fresh kind of energy; the bar seems like a destination in its own right and not just a sky high viewpoint to […]
Communal Hotel Plekhanovi
Communal Hotel Plekhanovi makes the most of its 14-room scale, functioning more like a guest house where the communal atmosphere actually works. Rooms follow a postmodern approach – period architecture, vintage fixtures, bold color blocking – with each space distinct but cohesively designed. The Left Bank location in Chugureti puts guests near Marjanishvili Square and […]
