Sky Bar Tours & Excursions

The Basics

The Sky Bar is open daily from 6:00 PM to 1:00 AM, with last orders taken at midnight. The dress code is smart casual, and there is a minimum spend requirement, especially in the evenings when the bar is busiest. A wide range of cocktails, wines, and snacks are available, with signature drinks like the Hangovertini named after the famous movie. Though the drinks are on the pricier side, the breathtaking views and the luxurious experience make it a must-visit for many travelers.

Things to Know Before You Go

Due to the Sky Bar’s popularity, it’s recommended to arrive early to secure a good spot, especially during sunset. Be prepared for high prices, as it is a premium venue with upscale offerings. While casual attire is acceptable, flip-flops, shorts, and sleeveless tops for men are not allowed. There is also a no-photo policy in some areas of the bar, so be mindful of this when taking pictures. It can get crowded, so patience is required when waiting for a table.

How to Get There

The easiest way to get to the Sky Bar is by taking the BTS Skytrain to Saphan Taksin Station, then walking to the Sathorn Pier. From there, you can take a 10-minute walk to the Lebua State Tower. Alternatively, you can opt for a taxi or ride-hailing service like Grab. The Lebua State Tower is a well-known landmark, so it’s easy to find. Once inside, take the elevator to the 63rd floor, where the Sky Bar is located.

When to Get There

The best time to visit the Sky Bar is at sunset when you can enjoy a view of Bangkok’s skyline transitioning from day to night. Weekdays are generally less crowded, but the weekends can offer a lively atmosphere. If you prefer a quieter experience, aim to visit before 7:00 PM. The bar is open until late, so it’s also a great spot for late-night drinks with a view.

Day Trips from Bangkok

Combine a visit to the Sky Bar with a day exploring Bangkok’s historical and cultural landmarks. Start your day with a visit to the Grand Palace and Wat Pho, both located within a short distance of the Lebua State Tower. Afterward, explore the nearby Chao Phraya River on a boat tour, or visit the vibrant streets of Chinatown for lunch. End your day with cocktails at the Sky Bar while enjoying breathtaking views of the city at night.
