Bangkok Nightlife 
Night View X Dinner Cruise X Night-market Nightclub 



1. Sirocco (Sky Bar) website

Sirocco is a restaurant and "sky bar", on the 63rd floor of the State Tower in Bangkok. Overlooking the city skyline from Sirocco, Bangkok’s restlessness and energy dramatically presents here all over. It was ranked as the world highest open-air and one of the three world-biggest city view restaurant famous worldwide. And it was awarded as "Hot Nights and Hot Tables" by Condé' Nast Traveler. Besides, you may notice it was prominently featured in “The Hangover2.”

2. Baiyoke Sky Hotel(Sky Walk)website

It is located on the 84th floor owing 360-degree rotating rooftop with enviable skyline city view.Up on a 83-floor building, there is a rooftop bar you may enjoy the drink and the view. 
Buffet (fair price) is provided in the hotel; however, it is not highly recommended. It is old- fashion compared with others and not close to BTS. 

Note: 300 baht per person before 18:00, 490 baht per person after 18:00 (both include a drink)
Transportation: 20 minutes walking from Chit Lom BTS Station/ Near PratuNam  

3. Red Sky  website

Red Sky, high on the 55th floor with 360-degree panoramic view, is similar to Sirocco but the appearance is more modern with fancy electric light. The pricing is also more friendly. Located on the most lively district, Siam, it is a highly recommended place to relax after shopping.

Highlight: 
Dress code: Smart Casual, no singlets, flips flops, sport shorts 
Transportation: Chit Lom BTS Station

4. VERTIGO AND MOON BAR  website

It is on the 61st floor of Banyan Tree Bangkok situated in the heart of Bangkok. Compared with other bars above, customers traveling in group are fewer and the atmosphere is very nice with fare price and a gorgeous view of Chao Phraya River.

Note: without minimum order and basic drinks are around 2-300 baht
Transportation: 10 minutes walking from Lumpini MRT subway station/ Taxi to Banyan Tree Resort

5.Octave Bar & Lounge website

Octave, located on the 45th floor of the Bangkok Marriott Hotel Sukhumvit, is the newest and the hottest one so far in Bangkok. The round-shaped bar is similar to the one in Sirocco; however, Octave is not as crowded as Sirocco. It is a must-visit bar here in Bangkok.

Highlight: buy one and get one free from 17:00 to 19:00. 
Transportation: 3 minutes walking from Thong Lor Skytrain Station

6.The Speakeasy  website

Although it is not situated as high as bars mentioned above, definitely it is a good romantic decoration of the restaurant. The Speakeasy Rooftop Bar offers an elegant and sophisticated atmosphere overlooking the city skyline. The entrance of The Speakeasy is a gorgeous fresco. You can only get in by pushing the secret door. ( Like Harry Potter. The Fat Lady in the painting that conceals the entrance to the Gryffindor common room :)
Outside of Speakeasy, the domed roof building from the Middle East and the green grown makes the atmosphere  

360-degree gorgeous night view, the night is lighting up with live DJ music. This is absolutely highly recommended for lovers and bestie. Besides, their cuisines are also recommended with many people. 

Note: Without minimum order. Basic drinks are around 200 baht and meals are around 300 baht.
Transportation: 5 minutes walking from Chidlom Station

7.ASIATIQUE THE RIVERFRONT 

After Suan-Lum Night Bazaar is closed, the newest and the hottest is this, Asiatique The Riverfront! This 2012 newly-opened riverfront is one of the top 10 attraction in Bangkok. It is located beside the Chao Phraya River with obvious landmark of Farris Wheel. This riverfront is divided into ten districts  with clear routes. After shopping around all the unique stores, spend one night enjoying a meal and relaxing with the live music. 

8. Jatujak Green

One out of 10 must-visit places in Bangkok is Chatuchak weekend Market. These is a new Jatujak Green Market opening from morning to night everyday. How can we miss the when visiting Thailand! There are more than 150 stores with well-designed products, second-hand clothes, furniture…etc and restaurant&bar. People who are passionate about Thailand are highly suggested for a visit to know more about Thai people’s creative thought.

Transportation: Jatujak MRT Station/ Mochit BTS Station

9.RCA

There are many famous nightclubs like BED SUPPERCLUB、HOLLYWOOD、MOS…etc. But if you plan to go clubbing only for one night, I suggest you visit RCA to experience the very Thai nightclub. Thousands of nightclubs are gathering here in RCA, ROYAL  CITY  AVENUE. Every night is full f people! Every night, the music style is different. The idealist nightlife you are looking for is here!

10. Chao Phraya River Dinner Cruise

Chao Phraya River is also known as Maenam River. This is a famous attraction for travelers. Wat Pho, Grand Palace, Wat Arun and other famous attractions are along the Chao Phraya River bank. Normally people visit ere during the day. However, when everything lights up at night, it shines on Chao Phraya River. Unbelievably beautiful.
Strongly suggests people leaving one night relaxing on the cruise and having one wonderful meal with such an amazing view along the river.
