Spire Rooftop Bar

The lush greenery and Bangkok night view will be burned into your memory

Dusit Thani Bangkok, a representative Thai hotel that first opened in 1970, underwent a five-year renovation and reopened in September 2024. This rooftop bar takes advantage of its prime location, right in front of Lumpini Park, Bangkok's largest park. The seating arrangement was designed to allow guests to take in the park's greenery from any seat.

Climbing the stairs one floor further, you'll find the hotel's iconic "Spire." It's lit up at sunset, creating a completely different atmosphere. Cocktails are created by a dedicated team and pair perfectly with the Thai fusion cuisine. Visit before sunset to enjoy the greenery and fully experience the magic hour.

Spire Rooftop Bar offers a panoramic view of Lumpini Park and the skyscrapers.

Sanctuary

Find peace of mind in this urban sanctuary

Taking the elevator to the 34th floor of the InterContinental Bangkok Sukhumvit Hotel and passing through a dark corridor, you will come across an impressive bamboo roof that envelops the entire bar counter. It took craftsmen approximately two years to assemble the roof, which is scheduled to open in March 2025.

The idea behind the building was to create a relaxing sanctuary in the city. The design, which allows a view of the sky from the rooftop, represents a connection with nature. It is a sister store of the popular rooftop bar Tichuca, which is visible from the bar, but this is a more mature and relaxed space. At night, the bamboo roof is lit up, creating a magical atmosphere.

Tulum Skybar

Immerse yourself in the Mexican passion that fills the dance floor

This rooftop bar is based on a Mexican concept. The bar's iconic goddess statue is modeled after the "Ven A La Luz (Come to the Light)" statue in Tulum, Mexico. The food menu includes tacos and ceviche, and cocktails made with mezcal, all with a Mexican feel, while also incorporating a local flavor.

To allow guests to enjoy the lively Mexican atmosphere, the bar hosts fire shows and salsa shows performed by captivating professional dancers several times a day. The shows further heighten the excitement inside the bar. Although the bar is a little difficult to access on foot from the nearest station, it is bustling every day.

Electric Sheep

Relax and enjoy a drink on the rooftop of a warehouse!

Located on the fourth floor of the complex THE WAREHOUSE TALAT NOI, this restaurant has an underground atmosphere. The interior is inspired by the movie Blade Runner and exudes a futuristic 80s feel. The rooftop bar on the rooftop feels like a secret hideout. There are seats with large cushions, making it a casual and relaxing place.

The restaurant is run by a duo of chefs from J'AIME, a Michelin-starred French restaurant in the resort hotel U Sathorn Bangkok, who also serve dishes made with homemade fermented foods. They also have a compost pile on the rooftop, which is environmentally friendly.
