Best Rooftop Bars in Bangkok 2026 – By Area, Budget & Dress Code

Pick the rooftop by where you’ll be that night, not by the most famous name. Go for sunset, dress smart casual, and expect hotel pricing.

The famous views (Silom / Sathorn)

Famous Bangkok rooftops
Bar	Area · Transit	Why go
Sky Bar / Sirocco (lebua at State Tower)	Silom · BTS Saphan Taksin	The famous one; 63rd floor, river view, strict dress code
Vertigo & Moon Bar (Banyan Tree)	Sathorn · MRT Lumphini	Open-air 61st floor; Vertigo is dining, Moon Bar is drinks
Sky Beach (The Standard, Mahanakhon)	Silom · BTS Chong Nonsi	78th floor; entry fee includes one drink
