Hi friends! Do you also love to enjoy a great city panorama at night? Then Lebua Sky Bar is the perfect place for you if you’re in Bangkok! We went there to have a great evening out in Thailand’s capital and were definitely not disappointed!
In case you’re wondering what the view looks like at daytime: You have seen the movie Hangover 2, right? Remember the part in the skybar where Mr Chow got arrested? That’s exactly the place.
If you can’t remember, here’s the scene again ;):
So as you can guess, Lebua Sky Bar is anything but boring!
Let’s start with some key facts about Lebua Sky Bar:
- Sky Bar is located inside Lebua State Tower, Thailand’s second tallest building (Bang Ran Disctrict)
- With a great view from 64th floor, it is the world’s highest open-air bar
- the best part is the 360-degree city panorama view including Chao Phraya River and Bangkok’s skyline
- Lebua Sky Bar has been featured in the movie Hangover II as mentioned above

What do you need to know for visiting Lebua Sky Bar?
- You should definitely consider their dress code which is similar to any elegant bar’s or restaurant’s required attire
- The prices of cocktails start at approximately 500 Baht (12,50 Euro), there’s also an amazing choice of fine wines and different beers
- In my opinion it’s the easiest to go there by taxi or Tuktuk. However, it’s also possible to take the boat until Sathorn (Taksin) and walk for 10 minutes to get there
- opening hours are from 6pm to 1am daily
Our fun evening out at Lebua Sky Bar
So why should you visit Lebua Sky Bar?
There are many different sky bars in Bangkok but we chose Lebua because of its superlatives (highest open air bar, featured in Hangover II, voted best sky bar several times) and were absolutely impressed.
The amazing view
It’s certainly amazing to see the view at daytime but we wanted to have the full night panorama experience. Have a look at the amazing Chao Phraya River view and Bangkok’s glamorous skyline:
Look at those glimmering city lights!
Enjoy the view at Chao Phraya river…
…and the colorful boats at night!
Watch Bangkok’s crazy traffic from above and relax…
There is so much to see!
The delicious cocktails
While we were busy enjoying Bangkok’s colorful panorama at night, we tried different signature cocktails at Lebua Sky Bar. They are definitely more on the pricier side but totally worth it!
Cocktails are generally served with a delicious snack of smoked almonds. However, we also chose to have some little snacks like baby calamari on the side which were to die for!
What I really liked about the cocktail menu was the unique mix of ingredients and the combination of different flavors. In addition to that the visual presentation of the cocktails was absolutely on point. See for yourself:
One of my favorites: Devil in Red
My fiancé’s choice: A Wasabi infused cocktail
Delicious Berry Cocktails + Fire and Ice (An iced chili infused drink) – So good!
Our conclusion
We were so excited about visiting Lebua Sky Bar and it has far exceeded our expectations! The view was absolutely breathtaking, the cocktails unique and delicious and the overall location simply magnificent.
Furthermore the staff was very polite and attentive which is always an important aspect on my personal check list. We’d definitely come back to Lebua Sky Bar!

The pictures are awesome, glad you shared details from the movie Hangover , my favorite skybar was in Vegas
Too bad i missed this when i went to bangkok last time. But im coming back next year! But how much is the average price for the cocktails though? I love the hangover reference, i was really curious where they shot that. Thanks for sharing. Now i know!
Brilliant post!
Bangkok is no doubt an amazing place. I wasn’t aware of Lebua skybar. I didn’t know hangover scene was shooted over there. I would have definitely visited this place. The pictures are fabulous with great views.
I remember this from the Hangaover movie! I love seeing places from movies – makes it surreal! Your pictures are amazing, especially of the Chao Phraya River from above! Great post Karo!
Your photos are absolutely stunning! What a fantastic view. The cocktails looked pretty good too sounds like you had a wonderful night
The views of bangkok from the sky bar are amazing! The cocktails at the bar look fantastic. When we visited Bangkok a few years ago, we had dinner and drinks at the Red Sky bar. We will definitely visit Lebua sky bar when make a return trip.
All in all, it sounds like the atmosphere and being able to see all of Bangkok is worth it. We are gonna be heading back out that way in a few months and will definitely stop by!
