English WikipediaTicket prices and opening hours
According to the official website, a Mahanakhon SkyWalk ticket costs 500 to 1,200 baht, and the price varies by time — sunset and evening slots cost more, daytime less. The deck is open daily from 10:00 to 24:00, with last entry at 23:00. Tickets are sold online and at the lobby desk on the ground floor.
Sold separately are the I-Tilt on floor 75 (from 450 baht, 10:00–19:00), the SkyVerse digital art show (from 350 baht) and VR rides (from 200 baht). The Sky Beach bar operates on the roof.
What is Mahanakhon?
King Power Mahanakhon is a 314 m skyscraper in the Silom business district next to BTS Chong Nonsi. German architect Ole Scheeren designed it: a glass tower that seems to be unravelled by a spiral of protruding pixel-like cubes. It opened in 2016 and was then Thailand's tallest building.
Mahanakhon SkyWalk occupies the top floors. A high-speed lift reaches floor 74 in under 50 seconds, with an indoor observatory and floor-to-ceiling windows. Then comes floor 78: the open-air Peak at 314 m and the Glass Tray floor at 310 m.
What to see
- The Glass Tray at 310 m — the city right beneath your feet.
- The Peak open-air roof at 314 m — an all-round view and sunset.
- The indoor observatory on floor 74 — floor-to-ceiling windows and interactive screens.
- Views over Lumphini Park, the Chao Phraya River and the BTS lines.
- The I-Tilt on floor 75 — a tilting glass platform (separate ticket).
- Sky Beach bar on the roof — cocktails with a view.

More tips
- By BTS to Chong Nonsi (Silom line), exit 3 — the tower is next to the station.
- By BRT to Sathorn station.
- By bus — routes 15, 16, 34, 77, 162 and 187.
- By taxi to 114 Narathiwas Ratchanakarin Road; the official website has a Thai-language address card for drivers.
- Tickets and lifts are in the ground-floor lobby.
How long do you need, and when to go?
Allow 1–1.5 hours, longer with the rooftop bar. The most beautiful time is sunset and the half-hour after, but tickets are dearest then. To save money, go up in the daytime or late in the evening — Bangkok lit up is lovely too.
In the rainy season (roughly May to October) evening downpours are common, and the open roof may close in bad weather. Check the forecast and book a clear day.
Mahanakhon or Baiyoke Sky?
| Mahanakhonyou are here | 314 m, roof on floor 78 | Glass floor at 310 m | Silom | 500–1,200 baht by time slot |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Baiyoke Sky | ≈ 304 m, roof on floor 84 | Revolving open-air deck | Pratunam | 450 baht with a drink |
Is Mahanakhon SkyWalk worth it?
Yes: it's Thailand's highest observation deck, and the glass floor at 310 m is one of Bangkok's most vivid experiences. The decks are modern and comfortable.
The YesGo take: sunset tickets are expensive and the top gets crowded. You'll have to leave bags behind, and tripods aren't allowed. If budget matters more, Baiyoke Sky is cheaper with almost the same view.

How to do it right
- On the glass floor, use the official photo area — phones aren't allowed on the glass.
- Daytime tickets are the cheapest.
- Bring a light jumper — it's windy on the roof.
- Look down on Lumphini Park — it's clearly visible from the top.
- Cheaper, with a revolving roof: Baiyoke Sky.
