QUICK ANSWER

Which Bangkok rooftop bar should you choose?

Choose Sky Bar at Lebua for bucket-list fame, Vertigo & Moon Bar for panoramic drama with more breathing room once it reopens, Red Sky or ThreeSixty for strong views without Lebua-level pricing, Bar.Yard, Tichuca or ANJU for a younger night out, Above Eleven when dinner matters as much as the view, and Baiyoke Sky when budget and altitude come first.

BANGKOK AFTER DARK

A skyline made for rooftop nights

Bangkok’s rooftops range from riverside landmarks to Sukhumvit and Thonglor nightlife towers. Sunset gives way quickly to a fully illuminated city, so arriving before dusk lets you experience both.

HOW TO PICK

Match the rooftop to the night you want

If you only have one night, Sky Bar at Lebua is the obvious choice when its fame matters and premium prices do not. Vertigo & Moon Bar is the alternative for panoramic drama, subject to its 2026 renovation status. Red Sky and ThreeSixty balance view and value; Bar.Yard, Tichuca and ANJU suit a livelier, younger evening; Above Eleven is strongest when you want a real dining experience; and Baiyoke Sky is the budget choice.

BEFORE YOU GO

Check opening hours and dress codes

Hours, menus and prices change frequently. Several venues use smart-casual dress codes, so confirm the current rules and opening status with the venue before travelling. Silom/Sathorn and Thonglor each make sensible clusters; crossing Bangkok repeatedly in one evening can lose a lot of time to traffic.
