This bar is one of the cheapest rooftop bars in Bangkok, even though it’s only a couple of stops on the Skytrain from some of Bangkok’s most popular nightlife spots. It has impressive 180-degree views, including the river and Sukhumvit Rd. It’s less formal than other bars and has a short glass walkway that gives you the feeling that you’re floating 46 floors above the ground. It has a decent selection of classic cocktails and beers but don’t expect anything too fancy. The view is definitely worth it and with prices like these, you can afford a couple more sundowners.

Designers of rooftop bars in Bangkok definitely have a thing for New York, although it’s not immediately obvious that Above 11 is based on Central Park. The garden theme is fun, as are the cocktails, which include a selection of Peruvian and Japanese drinks.

The view isn’t half bad either, towards Siam and Bangkok’s impressive shopping district. Unlike some rooftop bars, this is definitely a place you could spend the entire evening rather than just a sunset cocktail.
