With floor-to-ceiling windows looking out over the river, The Long Bar inside the lobby of the Shangri-La is the perfect date spot for lovers of ‘very’ impressive signature cocktails. It’s an idyllic location to end any hectic day in this chaotic city.
The W Bangkok

Tower Club at Lebua

The aptly named Vertigo and Moon Bar is the rooftop spot at the Banyan Tree Hotel. Every night, well-heeled party hoppers sip and flirt over the city’s best views. Just below Moon Bar is Latitude Lounge & Bar where on the first and second Thursday of the month there’s a DJ, fashion photo set to make your Insta-followers jealous, and a two-hour free flow of sparkling wine. Free!
Bangkok Marriott Hotel Sukhumvit
Why it made the list
It’s worth heading to the eastern side of Sukhumvit to experience the jaw-dropping views from Octave Rooftop Bar & Lounge. The bar spans the top four floors of the hotel, provides 360-degree views, and has live DJs spinning chill tunes every night of the week.
Conrad Bangkok
Why it made the list
Did someone say 4-hour happy hour? At The Diplomat Bar inside the Conrad Hotel, you’ll find yourself elbow to elbow with foreign service workers chatting about the country’s political climate while downing signature martinis with live music in the background.
Anantara Siam Bangkok
Why it made the list
If you want to hobnob with Bangkok’s high society folk (HiSo), then head to Aqua inside the hallowed halls of the Anantara Siam. This high-spirited hotspot requires reservations, so plan ahead if you want to partake in their perfect cocktail concoctions.
Mandarin Oriental Bangkok
Why it made the list
A Bangkok institution, The Bamboo Bar is a Colonial throwback with wicker furnishings and old-world charm. Known for its signature cocktails, the classic spot also has groovy nightly jazz. Keep in mind, there’s a dress code, so leave your sandals and Hawaiian shirts in your closet.
The St. Regis Bangkok
Why it made the list
The St. Regis Bar and Drawing room sits atop the 12th floor of this chic hotel and looks out over the Royal Sport Club’s grassy lawns. Head down to the bar at 6:30pm every night and you’ll witness the time-honored tradition of champagne sabering where a sword is used to pop off the top of the bottle (don’t try this at home).
