Top Knot

Our take

Two rooftops joined by a spiral staircase: an air-conditioned glasshouse bistro below, an open sky-garden above with a 360° sweep over the old quarter and a slice of the Chao Phraya. The contemporary kitchen cooks local ingredients with a Thai accent at prices that undercut most river rooftops — the sharing sets are honest value, rare words in this postcode.

Insider tip

Come for golden hour and the weekend acoustic sets rather than a late night — service stops early. The upper deck is the one you want; take the spiral stairs past the bistro.
