Usually I hate "touristy" attractions, which is why I have waited so long to do this. But it was cool. The typical long lines were present, to be expected but...what the heck. So my wife and I went and we tried to time it for sun set and we did. Long lines, can't remember what we paid to go but... More

The entry was 300 bath and it covered the entry to the 77th and 84th floor plus a free soft drink on the 84th floor. The lift is nice as it goes rather slowly up and you can see Bangkok underneath you. The 77th floor is large and views are great, we went in the evening and could see the... More

It is certainly worth going to the Baiyoke Sky Hotel and up to the 77th floor to the Observation Deck, as well as fantastic views there are multi media kiosks, telescopes and all the info on the building of the hotel. There is also a revolving viewing deck with great photo opportunities on the 84th floor, this is Thailand's first... More

Great view of Bangkok. There is a revolving floor so you get to see a 360 degree panoramic view. We went late afternoon: we were there when the sun was setting and a little later the evening tower lights came on. Nice to see. I see that some of the reviewers were disappointed with the food at this place. We... More

This place is something very horrible. And that's one of the worst places I have ever visited. Other rewiews already said everything- very dirty and smells of sweat and old food, the windows are dirty and has no open terrace, there are long cues, lots of people, unfriendly staff and a complicated system to go up.. Moreover- outside you will... More

My title sums this place up. I would avoid this place like the plague unless you really want to take in some stunning views at night. But be warned. The elevator system is very poor. The place is dirty and the staff are unfriendly and the food is pretty dreadful. This place caters to the bottom end of the market. More

No one in these reviews seems to have mentioned the Bangkok Balcony restaurant, situated on the 81st floor. Nowadays they do a set dinner at 1,250 baht nett and the view is magnificent. There is no roof so it must not rain ! There is a menu but they will serve you everything on it with just your choice of... More
