Expert Tips

Gallery
Overview
The Party:
Filled with atmosphere, energy and flavour, Bar.Yard comes with a vibrant and colorful feel, always surrounded by Afro House beats and often visited by well-known DJs. Great spot to visit for a sunset cocktail with views or a casual-elevated dinner experience, but the rooftop really turns buzzing as the night wears on, and you are sure to have a full night of fun.
Ambience:
Bold in both setting and offerings, Bar.Yard had a revamp early 2026, and now looks more striking and vivid than ever.

Tichuca
Perfect party rooftop for the younger crowd.
Photo: Tichuca
Expert Tips
- Probably the most spectacular party rooftop in Bangkok when speaking of the view.
- No reservations, be prepared to stand in line down by the street.
Gallery
Overview
The Party:
This jungle-themed rooftop, which opened in late 2020, has already made a big splash with both locals and visitors. The standout feature is definitely the LED-lit "tree" that sways behind the bar. But Tichuca isn’t just about that eye-catching tree - it’s got a whole vibe going on. The perfect party rooftop for all ages (over 20) and for both locals and tourists. Stretched across three floors, filled with lush greenery and wooden furniture, all set against stunning views of the city.
Ambience:
The jungle theme carries over to the drink menu, with refreshing tiki-style cocktails served in pineapples or coconuts. They also offer small bites, but the real draw is the drinks and the fun atmosphere. This is not the place you come to for dinner. Tichuca is all about party, views and drinks.
What we think:
After visiting Tichuca Rooftop Bar, it quickly became one of our favorite rooftop spots in Bangkok. It’s no surprise that Tichuca is especially popular with the younger crowd. Since it operates on a walk-in only basis, We’d recommend arriving early if you don’t want to wait. Even so, expect a bit of a line to get up to the top, but trust us, it’s well worth it once you’re there!
Dress code:
Casual dress code. Which means that as long as you have a clean shirt, pants and shoes on, you will be fine. And the causal dress code often says more about the vibe than the clothes per say. A sense of 'all are welcome'.

Akara Sky Hanuman
Only Thai inspired rooftop on this list.
Photo: Akara Sky Hanuman
Expert Tips
- Dont miss the Cultural Show at sunset 7:30 PM or by midnight.
- Branded as the first and highest Thai inspired rooftop bar, you'll get a big slice of the Thai culture and hospitality up here.
Gallery
Overview
The Party:
We were blown away by foremost the view but also the superb vibe. The rooftop bar offered a calm yet lively atmosphere, inspired by Hanuman, the monkey god from Thai lore. The highlight was watching the sunset with sweeping views of the Bangkok city scape. As the evening progressed, the view shifted to showcase the rivers and temples beautifully lit up against the night sky. This is a rooftop experience like no other in Bangkok. Very genuine and rare compared to most other rooftops you can visit around here.
Ambience:
The kitchen brings the river view flavours up into the sky. How about some grilled jumbo size river prawns with Thailands most famous dish “Tom Yum Goong”. Everything up here are influenced by the Thai culture and cuisine. The drinks with fruits of Thailand extracted into balanced cocktails are a must try. Not your classic signature cocktail list.
What we think:
Akara Sky Hanuman Bangkok is one of the newest additions to the Bangkok rooftop scene, and it’s definitely worth checking out. Located on the 61st floor of One City Center in Ploenchit, just across from Central Embassy, the bar offers stunning 360-degree view (almost). As the second tallest rooftop bar in Bangkok, following Sky Beach, Akara Sky Hanuman offers a much more cozy and relaxed atmosphere.
Dress code:
Smart casual is recommended if you want to blend in. But casual or upscale works fine as well. As long as you don't wear swimwear, tank tops or flip flops.
