samuiseagull Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Hi folks, Just a quickie. Can anybody suggest a decent (slightly romantic !!) rooftop bar giving decent views of the Bangkok City skyline. Nothing to fancy, just nice and casual and not too formal. I'll be based in Sukhumvit 5 so hopefully not far from there please. Cheers!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tw25rw Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Not actually rooftop, but there's a bar at the top of Baiyoke II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveBKK Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Vertigo and Sirocco are both quite nice and hard to beat for the view, but both on the pricey side and a bit upscale and pretentious. For something very close to you, on Sukhumvit 11, there's a new rooftop bar at the LeFenix hotel. Also, what used to be the Soi 1 complex....kinda has an arabian/moroccon theme. Neither are spectacular birds eyes views, but they are pleasant and relaxed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poolie Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 ^ Agree with Dave. Went there last week and its pretty chilled out, drink prices not too expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfchandler Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Sin Bar, I believe, is on Soi 4 near the Nana Hotel... As mentioned above, Vertigo and the other are high priced...higher style places... and pretty far from Suk Soi 5... In addition to the other suggestions, here are two more: Above the Foodland grocery store on Soi 5 is a rooftop bar that stays open very late...usually...until the wee hours... I've been there for that one... Also, Hanrahan's Pub a bit further down on Soi 4 also supposedly has an open rooftop section... But last time I went there a couple months ago, it was closed at the time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveBKK Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 is it Gazebo? Yeah that's it I think....Gazebo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabaijai Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Gazebo is correct. Stays open late most nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloudbusting Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I was looking to bring friends out to somewhere similar tomorrow night. Something not quite as formal as Vertigo but also not quite like Gazebo, Sin Bar and the others around Sukhumvit. Baiyoke II might be the best idea if nobody can think of any other suggestions.

Jimjim Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Besides those expensive Vertigo and Sriricco, many hotels have bars quite high or near the top. I always noticed what looked like a bar at the top of Dusit Thani Hotel but never went up there. It's indoor but top floor, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rinrada Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Theres is I believe one above Foodland but I have never managed to make it upstairs.. so cant really say too mut... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryHacker Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 V9 bar on the 37th floor of the Sofitel Silom, not over classy but I could imagine it would be quite romantic for the right kind of girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiechick Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Unico Grande Silom (opp Sofitel) has rooftop bar - live music, laid back. Not too expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfchandler Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Aussie...I believe the Unico Grand Silom used to be the Tower Inn??? If I'm thinking of the same place, they have a rooftop swimming pool and adjoining that, an open air BBQ restaurant with widely spaced out tables, where you can sit and have a nice meal right at the edge of the roof looking out. Last time I was there, the Thai food was pretty good and not expensive. But it really was more of a restaurant setting... They had a small bar/counter area.... but the only people I ever saw around there were folks coming for dinner. Are we talking about the same place???

aussiechick Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 jfc - Yes was Tower Inn. I usually go for a drink there when I am in Bangkok as it is relaxing and not expensive. I think the view is great - taken lots of visitors there for the same reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
