Going out Bangkok it's a party. You have a huge choice of different entertainment venues. What you should definitely see is the Sirocco – Sky bar of the Lebua at State Tower Hotel. I guarantee that you will never forget this impressive rooftop bar.
Bangkok hotels: lebua at State Tower
Bangkok has over 1.000 hotels of which more than 70 five star hotels alone. The most striking five-star hotel is the Lebua at State Tower Hotel on Silom Road. From afar you can already see the gold-colored dome that adorns the building of a total of 67 floors.
The Lebua at State Tower Hotel is especially famous for its roof terrace, the Skybar, which guarantees a magnificent view over the Bangkok. Especially at sunset you can witness a special spectacle. The city slowly turns into a darkness with, as it seems, millions of fireflies.

Sirocco – Sky bar
There are more hotels with a roof terrace, but the Skybar of this hotel is the most impressive and also offers the best view of Bangkok. The Skybar has been chosen several times in the top 5 of the most special bars in the world. The bar was also used as a movie set for the movie 'The Hangover 2'.
Enjoy the panoramic view of the Chao Phraya River and the metropolis of Bangkok. It is the top location to have a drink and enjoy. Incidentally, the bar seems to 'float' so if you are afraid of heights, you better find a spot on one of the many lounge sofas. You can enjoy various snacks and drinks, but they are quite pricey (a cocktail quickly costs € 20).
Dress Code
There is a strict dress code for the Sky bar; Smart Casual. That doesn't mean you have to dress up, but not everything is allowed. Think of flip flops, sportswear, broken or torn clothing, short books for men, sleeveless shirts, etc. In short, dress appropriately.
