Paradise Lost

Our take

Miami Vice hallucinated onto a Siam rooftop: the lower deck is all pastel pink facing National Stadium, the upper level goes yellow and opens out to the Golden Mount and Wat Arun. Beneath the aesthetic sits real substance — inventive tropical cocktails, bar snacks like braised beef pie and lemongrass oysters, and genuinely warm service. Prices stay friendly for the altitude. One of the rare Bangkok rooftops that looks like a filter and drinks like a proper bar.

Insider tip

Climb to the yellow upper level for the wider panorama — the pink deck is the photo, the top deck is the view — and make use of the long happy hour, which runs from opening until eight.
