Akara Sky Hanuman Rooftop Bar Bangkok

Overview

Akara Sky Hanuman is one of Bangkok’s most ambitious rooftop experiences – a multi-level sky bar and cultural destination that blends traditional Thai arts with modern nightlife atop the new One City Centre tower. While not as old as classics like Lebua, it’s quickly become a must-visit for visitors looking for atmosphere, views, and a uniquely Thai twist on the skyline bar concept.

The bar is located on Level 61 (around 276 metres) with panoramic 360° views of the city – including the Chao Phraya River, Old Town temples, and the modern skyline – making sunset a particularly good time to arrive.

Why Go

Skyline Views & Sunset: Unbeatable city vistas from one of the highest bar floors in Bangkok.
Thai Culture Meets Nightlife: Live performances including traditional Thai dance and Muay Thai-inspired theatrical shows add cultural flair to the evening.
Multi-Zone Experience: Includes open terraces, DJ sets, immersive art installations, a night market, and lounges.

Inside the Space

Hanuman Sky Bar & Rooftop Garden
The central attraction: a stylish bar with indoor-outdoor seating, DJs, skyline views and a stage for cultural performances.

Immersive Art & Installations
Projection mapping across the iconic Hanuman statue and mirrored “Bangkok Reflection” zones give visitors plenty of photo moments and interactive art.

Sky Night Market
A lively section with Thai street food stalls and mini-games: part market, part entertainment.

Lounges & Galleries (Lower Levels)
Includes Baan Hanuman (chilled pavilion terrace), Siam Societies (cocktail salon with Thai/Western influence), Virtual Loy Krathong and Virtual Sky Lantern immersive rooms – great for pre-sunset exploration and Instagram moments.

Pricing & Entry Passes

There are multiple ticket/pass options, often structured as a sky entry fee that can be used toward food and drinks. Typical price tiers include:

  • The “Sky Pass”: (from 1,000 to 1,500 Baht depending on date/time).

We are going to avoid deep pricing breakdowns here because there are quite a few different packages and promotions available – but generally speaking you get very good value through all the inclusive shows, installations, and skyline access.

Note that if you purchase a pass through the official website it will include membership (for future visits): something that you may not get if you purchase a deal from websites like Klook. Compare offers to see what offers the best value for what you want.

Tips for Visitors

  • Best Time: Arrive around 5pm or so to secure prime sunset spots before golden hour.
  • Shows: Cultural performances (Thai dance, Muay Thai-themed entertainment) typically start in the evening (8pm onwards).
  • Views: The west-facing terrace is ideal for sunset photos – especially with the skyline behind you.
  • Stay Longer: Once inside, you can stay through the night (which is part of the appeal of this venue compared with single-drink rooftops).

Verdict

Akara Sky Hanuman isn’t just a rooftop bar – it’s a complete nighttime destination mixing Thai culture, art, gastronomy, and skyline lounging. While experiences can be more immersive and theatrical than the ultra-chic hotel rooftops, its blend of culture-meets-nightlife makes it a standout pick for visitors wanting something distinctly Bangkok. If you are looking for somewhere you can relax and enjoy the evening without feeling you are going to booted out once your glass is empty, this is a great option.
