Bangkok Rooftop Bars

These are the seven Bangkok rooftop bars I went to this year.  I am not including Mahanakhon Sky Walk and Baiyoke, which were interesting in their own right.  They were just not bar experiences.

Taking into account all my rooftop bar experiences (15 places), these are my five favorites (in no particular order):

The rooftop bars at State Tower (four now) were my first experiences, and I might return to try one or two.  However, they are way over-priced, hard to get to, have too many rules (no videos, for ex) and don't really have the best overall views.  But to be fair, I will go put this to the test next trip.

Take a look at this 360 degree video of Bangkok's skyline.  You can see why rooftop bars are popular!
