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. > **Go up for sunset** Arrive 30–40 minutes before sunset to see the city by day, then the sunset and the lights. The open-air deck doesn't run in rain, so check the forecast and pick a clear evening. Weekends bring queues at the ticket desk, so go on a weekday or buy ahead. ## 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. ## How to get to Baiyoke Sky 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. ## Baiyoke Sky or Mahanakhon? | | Baiyoke Sky | Mahanakhon | | --- | --- | --- | | Height | ≈ 304 m, roof on floor 84 | ≈ 314 m, roof on floor 78 | | Highlight | Revolving open-air deck | Glass floor above the city | | Area | Pratunam | Silom | | Ticket | 450 baht with a drink | More expensive, with sunset tickets | ## 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. ## Before you go: checklist - [ ] Forecast checked — no rain - [ ] Arriving 30–40 minutes before sunset - [ ] Closed shoes, not flip-flops - [ ] 450 baht for the ticket - [ ] Nearby: Pratunam market ## Bangkok viewpoints: compare and choose Bangkok observation decks rated by YesGo. - [Wat Arun](https://yesgo.io/thailand/bangkok/wat-arun) — YesGo score 51/100 (Yes, go) · 1 h · ≈ 200 baht - [Mahanakhon SkyWalk](https://yesgo.io/thailand/bangkok/mahanakhon-skywalk) — YesGo score 37/100 (Yes, if nearby) · 1 h 15 min · 500–1,200 baht depending on time - [Golden Mount](https://yesgo.io/thailand/bangkok/golden-mount) — YesGo score 37/100 (Yes, if nearby) · 1 h · climb ≈ 100 baht - [Baiyoke Sky](https://yesgo.io/thailand/bangkok/baiyoke-sky) — YesGo score 32/100 (Yes, if nearby) · 1 h · 450 baht incl. a drink ## Bangkok from above and below Lumphini Park by day, then the Mahanakhon SkyWalk or Baiyoke Sky at sunset.

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. ## Sources - Official Baiyoke Sky Hotel website ('Observatory Point' page) — price, hours, floors, visitor rules - English Wikipedia — Baiyoke Tower II: height, floors, completion year, rooms, bar and revolving deck - Wikidata Q804055 — coordinates - YesGo general facts for Thailand — payment, Grab --- This is the Markdown version of a YesGo page for AI assistants.
