Bangkok's Best Views: 5 Must-See City Viewpoints

Bangkok's viewpoints offer unique charms, mirroring the city's vastness. From the iconic Baiyoke Sky Tower to the pixelated Mahanakhon Skywalk, the city's complexity transforms into art from above. Especially at sunset, the Chao Phraya River turns orange, and the city lights twinkle, making it a highlight of any Bangkok trip. Here are 5 ways to own the night in Bangkok with WAUG!


1. Baiyoke Sky Tower: A Classic Returns

For years, this spot has been a go-to for Bangkok's night views. The 84th-floor 360-degree rotating viewpoint lets you see the entire city without moving! Many travelers still love it. The 77th-floor indoor observatory has telescopes, and the hotel buffet is a great value dinner option.


2. Wat Saket: Old City Views from the Golden Mount

Want to see Bangkok's roots instead of modern buildings? Head to Wat Saket (Golden Mount). Climb about 300 steps to the golden pagoda and the old city views beyond. It's peaceful and serene. Watch the sunset with the temple bells and the red-tinged old city. It's truly inspiring.


3. King Power Mahanakhon Skywalk: Thrilling Heights

This is definitely Bangkok's hottest viewpoint right now. Walking on the giant glass tray 314m above the ground is thrilling and perfect for photos. Enjoy a cocktail at the rooftop bar and feel the Bangkok night breeze on the 360-degree outdoor terrace. It's a great way to unwind.


4. Wat Arun View: A Flower on the River

The temple itself is beautiful, but the view of Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn) from across the river at a restaurant or rooftop bar is stunning. When darkness falls and the temple's spires light up in gold, the silhouette reflects on the Chao Phraya River like a dream. Highly recommended for a romantic evening!


5. State Tower Sky Bar: Like a Movie Star

Famous as a filming location for 'The Hangover 2,' this rooftop bar is under a 64-story golden dome. The Chao Phraya River's curves and the city lights are all in view. It's one of Bangkok's most glamorous nights out. Dress up and enjoy a cocktail against the sparkling city for a taste of Bangkok luxury.
