You prob don't go much. Me neither. I have a proper balcony.

 

But where's a memorable one you've been to either in Thailand or elsewhere?

 

Do you prefer a nature view or a city view? Would you drink a craft cocktail involving dry ice and smoke?

 

In Nimman Chiang Mai, I can just about hop on one foot to 3 of them. At the Maya Mall, it's more like a rooftop park WITH a bar.

 

Here's the one I might pop into every other month:

There are a few in BKK with city views that are pretty spectacular and drinks as you describe, but I have yet to visit ones that rival CM for the more intimate city views and mountains (at least between flights out of the airport).  Have had some Mekong river places, but would not call them "roof top" bars.  I am prejudice, I love living in CM despite the 2 mo of burning that you can hop down to an island to avoid for a while.  Good luck with the search!

In BKK the nicest rooftop bars have become very noisy with stuff coming out of loudspeakers that I hesitate to call music. Sofitel on Sukhumvit near soi 13 is a nice exception with good Belgian beers. 

I quite enjoyed Bangkok Heightz at the top of the Continent Hotel a few years ago.  It wasn't loud, the food was excellent, and it had a great view of city lights looking down along Sukhumvit.

Cloud 47 on Silom Rd in the United Services Bldg is excellent. Get there at 5pm on a weeknight. Very quiet with a great view.

Also the 360 Bar stop the Hilton Millennium on the River. Easily accessible these days by getting BTS to Krung Thonburi and changing to the Gold Line.

Also atop The Marriott on the cnr of Soi 57 and Sukhumvit Rd.

I'd steer clear of Lebua/State Tower, too many people.

I went to another rooftop restaurant at a hotel right next to Centralworld but I forgot the name, Anatara?

The problem is that the magnificence of the high rise urban view of BKK in any trendy rooftop bar, is usually spoilt by the house DJ blasting his dance music at 180db and a drunk pack of noisy  expaty posers, all set in mode "look-at-me"....   howling almost as loud as the music,.

Agree, Sofitel is  usually a good choice abd very accessible, 

The China Grand at the edge of Chinatown has a revolving rooftop bar.

 

It's a terrible hotel, but the drinks are cheap. The full rotation takes about an hour.

King Power Mahanakhon.

 

Vertigo and Moon bar Banyan Tree.

 

Tichuca Rooftop Bar.

Are silver shoes part of the dress code?

Frasier Suites, waaaay down Suk soi 11 has a small one without the dreaded DJ ruining it.

 

A few floors down is the 5* Indian restaurant, Charcoal (home of the worlds biggest nan).
