Vanilla Sky Rooftop Bar Bangkok

Perched high above Sukhumvit on the 35th floor of SKYVIEW Hotel Bangkok, Vanilla Sky Rooftop Bar delivers effortless 360° views of the Bangkok skyline, Benjasiri Park and the EM District – all within easy walking distance of BTS Phrom Phong and the Emporium/EmQuartier malls. It’s a relaxed, lounge-style rooftop bar with comfy sofas, high tables, an outdoor deck and a vibe that’s friendly, unpretentious and welcoming.

The bar’s name comes from the mellow sunset hues that bathe the skyline here, and it’s one of the best places in the city to watch the sun dip behind Bangkok’s skyscrapers with a cocktail in hand.

Vanilla Sky Rooftop Bar Bangkok

What to Expect

Atmosphere

  • Relaxed but lively: Not a frenetic party spot, but there’s usually a DJ spinning chill or lounge tunes later in the evening.
  • Intimate feel: Smaller than many Bangkok rooftop bars, Vanilla Sky hosts fewer than 100 guests, giving it a relaxed and sociable vibe.
  • Laid-back crowd: Popular with both locals and visitors; service is frequently praised as friendly and attentive – without the pretension you might find at some flagship sky bars.
  • Outdoor only: Fully open-deck bar – beautiful when the weather’s good, but owner/server policies may close the deck in storms or heavy rain.

Views & Setting

  • 360° panorama: Offers sweeping views over Sukhumvit, Benjasiri Park and the city beyond: excellent for sunset photos and night skyline shots.
  • Lounge styling: Comfy sofas and chairs mixed with high tables; the layout encourages lingering over drinks rather than standing at a bar rail.

Drinks & Food

  • Cocktails from start from around 370 Baht: Signature and classic cocktails are the focus, and offer pretty good value by rooftop standards.
  • Beer, wine & mocktails: Options for every preference, plus a relaxed wine list and non-alcoholic choices.
  • Bar snacks/light bites: Not a full dinner menu – think smaller bites and snacks rather than mains.
