Moon Bar at Banyan Tree Bangkok

Moon Bar at Banyan Tree isn’t just another rooftop bar, it’s a long-established Bangkok institution that helped define the city’s skyline nightlife. Perched on what was originally the hotel’s helipad on the 61st floor, its open-air design and effortless 360° vistas make it one of the most immersive city-view experiences in Bangkok.

The vibe here is understated sophistication and relaxed elegance – perfect for sunset drinks, romantic evenings, or unhurried nights above the city, without the hype or price shock of some other movie-famous rooftop bars.

Moon Bar at Banyan Tree - Bangkok Rooftop Bars

What to Expect

Views & Setting
Moon Bar offers sweeping, 360° views of Bangkok – especially atmospheric at sunset and after dark as the city lights spread out beneath you. The space is fully open-air with no roof or tall glass barriers, creating an immersive elevated experience reminiscent of a classic skyline terrace.

Drinks & Food
Expect a premium cocktail list with creative mixes and classic favourites. Cocktails generally land around 600 – 800 Baht+; wines, spirits & beers are also available. Some menus include light bar snacks, though you’ll find more substantial dining options at the adjacent Vertigo restaurant (same rooftop level).

Minimum Spend Policy
There’s typically a minimum spend (around 800 THB per person) which is charged on arrival and redeemable against drinks/food – effectively an entry requirement for non-hotel guests.

Atmosphere & Who It’s For

Moon Bar is popular with couples, travellers, and those who appreciate sophisticated city views without a nightclub vibe. It’s slightly less theatrical than some other high-profile rooftop spots (e.g., Sky Bar at Lebua), but it’s widely regarded as one of Bangkok’s most elegant and enjoyable elevated lounges. Expect:

  • A laid-back yet upscale atmosphere
  • Plenty of photo opportunities – including a distinctive glass floor walk area adjacent to the bar

Pro Tips for Visiting

  • Dress smart casual – this is enforced; staff may deny entry if not compliant.
  • Arrive early for sunset photos and prime edge seating.
