The Best Rooftop Wine Bars in Bangkok
Five rooftops that take the grape seriously — a 250-label cellar, champagne at 59 floors and Riviera terraces above the park.
Siam · Floor 59
An all-white deck on the 59th floor, reached by its own private lift and billed as one of the world's highest Champagne bars — a serious Veuve Clicquot selection by the glass (from around ฿600–800), champagne cocktails from the circular central bar, Caspian caviar and oysters alongside, and an illuminated arch that cycles colours over the 360° skyline. For pure occasion-in-a-glass, nothing in Bangkok touches it.
If rain rolls in, staff relocate you to the covered Red Sky bar below — the evening survives.
Silom · Floor 37
The serious cellar of the list: over two hundred labels organised by grape rather than region, on the Pullman G's 37th floor, with staff who know the collection well enough to steer you without a script. The Michelin Guide-recognised kitchen runs modern French with dry-aged Charolais, Angus and wagyu, and it's been one of Silom's best-value high-end nights for over a decade. Floor-to-ceiling windows inside, open terrace outside — either way the list is the star.
Tell them what you like and let them roam the by-grape list; the cheese and charcuterie boards are the right companions.
Silom / Lumphini · Floors 29–30
A French-Italian Riviera lifted 30 floors above Lumphini Park, split three ways: Iris, the elegant glass-house dining room where Chef Enrico Pantorno cooks seasonal Riviera plates; the open-air Iris Terrace with its sweep of park green; and Wild Iris above, where sunset aperitivo drifts into DJ sets. Good wine, house-baked stone pizzas and the most holiday-feeling golden hour in the city.
Aperitivo at Wild Iris, then drop to Iris when you're ready to order properly.
Sukhumvit / Phrom Phong · Floor 27
Progressive Thai cooking built on the owning family's own farm produce, with genuine wine pairings — still a rarity for Thai food — in one of Sukhumvit's sleekest rooms. The four-course tasting menu at sunset is the play, and the balcony's famous circular glass floor drops your gaze 27 storeys straight down to the street (genuinely unnerving in daylight). Elegant, quiet and firmly a date-night room rather than a party deck.
Do the wine pairing with the tasting menu, save the glass floor for after the second glass — and don't skip the mango sticky rice.
Silom / Lumphini · Floor 39
Three levels crowning the rebuilt Dusit Thani, where the illuminated golden spire — a tribute to the beloved original hotel's landmark — glows directly overhead as a backdrop. The cocktails come from the team behind award-winning Tropic City, but the wine list with freshly shucked oysters, Thai-inspired tacos and wagyu kofta on the open top deck is why it makes this list. Lumphini Park spreads out below; prices run high-side, and it earns them.
Book the top open-air deck a few hours ahead — the spire glowing overhead is the whole show.
