HOMEThere are many things to do in Bangkok. One is to watch the sunset from one of the many rooftop bars in Bangkok, a tasty drink in one hand and your camera in the other.
Ok, let’s be honest: I’ve only been to ONE rooftop bar in Bangkok. But the Red Sky bar on the 55th floor of Centara Grand at CentralWorld is really breathtaking. And Red Sky is definitely the perfect name for it. You don’t have a riverside view like in some other rooftop bars in Bangkok, but you do have a stunning 360° panorama view. And when Bangkok sinks slowly into a glowing red sky, the passion fruit martini (the signature drink) starts to taste better and better and you don’t want to leave again.
Please note that there’s a smart casual dress code. NO flipflops! But Red Sky Bar is not the only roof top bar in Bangkok, where you have to change your backpacker outfit for something a little bit more fashionable. So dress up! It’s not possible to book a table or one of the gorgeous sunbeds so it’s best to be there right in time at 5pm when they open. My tip: Go shopping at Central World and then treat yourself with a nice sundowner!
Your next trip to Bangkok is not coming up soon but you fancy a sundowner now?
Comment under this post and tell me where your favourite place is for a sundowner or which rooftop bar you love.

A Grand sunset at the Centara Grand!! 🙂 We should go rooftop hopping at our next meet-up somewhere else in the world!
I think that’s a great idea for a blogtrip! A RTW rooftop bar trip 😀
Um….yes please!
Beautiful sunset!
Hey, first I love the new layout of your site!
Been to La Terazza Rose in Rome just to try Rose wine but Uggh I hated it. But I absolutely LOVED watching the sunset. So it was a worthy trip after all =)
Thanks Sylvia! The view is always the most important thing of a great rooftop bar 😀
Did you mean sunset? Or were you drinking cocktails at 06:00 a:m!! Either way we will pop in for a drink when we get back to Bangkok from Ko Lanta!
hahahaha. ups. 😀
Wow, how stunning. A bit different from the sundowners I had in Khao San Rd back in my time in Bangkok 😉
Hahah, ja, Bangkok has many faces 😀
I hope they have strong guardrails, we wouldn’t want anyone to drink too much and tip over the edge 😉
Hahah, don’t worry, there is an “enclosure” 😀
Not such a bad place to watch a sunset! The combination of a nice drink in hand with a beautiful view is always a winner. Corventito rooftop bar in Budapest has been my favourite to enjoy such a thing!
Thanks for the tip Emma! Have to check it out when I’m in Budapest!
Reminds me of the Ritz bar in Shanghai; bottoms up!
Shanghai – another place on my bucket list! 😀
ooohhhh da wünscht man sich hin <3
da ist es auch ganz schön 😀
what a nice picture… i love bangkok….reminds me back when i’m first time going there….nice place.
When I was in Bangkok last year I was at the red sky Bar. The view over Bangkok was just amazing. I am looking forward to next year. Then I plan to live in Bangkok for a few months and I can enjoy delicious food, friendly people (you are also from Germany so you know the “friendliness” of zee Germans) and I will definitely go to one of the rooftop bars again.
By the way, your blog is the first famous travel blog in English that I found from one of our fellow countrymen or countrywomen. Keep up the good work!
Und als beweis, dass ich keinen Stuss daher rede schreibe ich dir die letzten paar Zeilen auf Deutsch. Super blog, weiter so!
Haha. DANKE SCHÖN! <3 Und viel Spass in Bangkok, ist definitiv eine meiner Lieblingsstädte!
Wow, that’s a great top view of Bangkok!
Vielen Dank für die coolen Tipps. Ich werde sie auf jeden Fall ausprobieren, wenn ich in Bangkok bin!
