Ticket price and opening hours

According to the official website, tickets cost 450 baht and include 1 drink at the Roof Top Bar on floor 83. The deck is open daily from 10:00 to 22:00; hours may change on long holidays and event days. Packages combining dinner in an upper-floor restaurant with deck access are sold separately and cost more.

Rules: no smoking, chewing gum or betel nut, and you won't be let in wearing flip-flops or improper clothing. The open-air roof on floor 84 usually closes in rain and strong wind.

What is Baiyoke Sky?

Baiyoke Sky is the observation deck of Baiyoke Tower II in the Pratunam shopping district — an 88-storey skyscraper about 304 m tall (the hotel says 309 m), completed in 1997. The tower houses the 673-room Baiyoke Sky Hotel, and its top floors are open to deck visitors.

Floor 77 has an indoor observatory with maps, multimedia kiosks and coin-operated telescopes, about 250 m above the ground. Higher up, on floor 84, is an open-air revolving deck that slowly turns through 360 degrees. On a clear day you can see all of Bangkok and even the Gulf of Thailand.

What to see

  • The revolving roof on floor 84 — an open-air, all-round view of the city.
  • The observatory on floor 77 — panoramic windows, maps and telescopes.
  • The Roof Top Bar on floor 83 — your drink is included.
  • Pratunam and Siam below — malls and BTS lines.
  • Bangkok's lights after dark.

More tips

  1. By Airport Rail Link to Ratchaprarop station — about 10 minutes on foot. From Suvarnabhumi airport it's about 20 minutes on the train.
  2. By BTS to Ratchathewi or Phaya Thai — about 15 minutes on foot.
  3. From the Grand Palace it's about 6 km — 20–40 minutes by taxi or Grab, depending on traffic.
  4. The tower is at 222 Ratchaprarop Road above Pratunam market — you'll see it from far away.
  5. The deck entrance and ticket desk are in the hotel building; then a high-speed lift.

How long do you need, and when to go?

Allow about an hour: half an hour on floor 77 and half an hour on the revolving roof and in the bar. The best time is 30–40 minutes before sunset, to see the city both in daylight and lit up.

In the rainy season (roughly May to October) evening downpours are common, so pick a clear day. Right after opening at 10:00 is the quietest time.

Is Baiyoke Sky worth it?

Yes, if you want Bangkok from above without spending much: the ticket with a drink is cheaper than other decks, and the revolving roof is an unusual experience.

The YesGo take: the building isn't new, the interiors feel dated, and weekends bring queues. For a glass floor and a modern deck, go to Mahanakhon instead. In rain there's no point going up — the roof will be closed.

How to do it right

  • The best shots are from the revolving roof just after sunset.
  • Your drink at the 83rd-floor bar is included — don't forget it.
  • Bring a light jumper — it's windy up top.
  • Browse Pratunam market at the foot of the tower first.
  • Compare with Mahanakhon, which has a glass floor.

How we checkedThe 450 baht ticket with a drink, 10:00–22:00 hours and rules are from the hotel's official website on 08.11.2026; the page looks long un-updated, but there's no newer official price list. Third-party sites list 400–450 baht, which is consistent. Height: Wikipedia says 304 m without the antenna, the hotel 309 m; we give both. The rain closure of the open-air deck is based on guides. Walking times to stations are map estimates.
