ThailandDescription and is it worth a visit
The observation deck of the Baiyoke Sky Tower, also known as Baiyoke II, is located on the top floor of the skyscraper hotel Baiyoke Sky Hotel in the central Bangkok's Pratunam district. Until recently, it was the tallest building in Thailand, the tallest hotel in Asia and the third tallest hotel in the world. Its height is 304 meters, 84 floors. But a few years ago, the palm tree in Bangkok was first "taken away" from him King Power MahaNakhon Skyscraper, which also has an observation deck, and now there is also a new building under construction Magnolias Iconsiam the height is more than 400 meters. Nevertheless, Bayok Sky is still a very interesting and exciting place to visit, because it is located very conveniently in the heart of the city, and besides, the cost of visiting compared to the new observation deck in MahaNakhon is more than twice lower, and the pleasure is hardly less. In addition, this pleasure is complemented by a pleasant bonus that you will receive in the bar on the 83rd floor.
So, the way to the Sky observation deck begins on the lowest floor of the tower from the ticket offices. After buying tickets, you need to take a high-speed elevator to the 77th floor, where there is a transition to the next elevator and a conditional exhibition dedicated to the construction of a skyscraper and the history of Bangkok. Then the second elevator will take you to the 83rd floor, where THE ROOF TOP BAR is located with a panoramic view of the city, but through glass. Here you are entitled to a free "bonus" included in the ticket price, namely, you can order any drink at the bar, including even alcoholic cocktails. We do not advise you to be modest here: order any cocktail that you are interested in, because it is free. For example, there is a famous Singapore sling, and if you don't know what to choose, we strongly advise you to try it.
But that's not all. Strangely enough, but not all visitors to Sky Bike know that it is possible to climb even higher, and limit themselves to viewing only from this site on the 83rd floor through glass. But you can get to the open rotating platform on the 84th floor. To do this, you need to find an initially inconspicuous passage to the stairs, along which you will climb even higher, and go out to a magnificent open-air observation deck in the form of a circular balcony, which slowly rotates around its axis. Here you can see Bangkok in detail and take a lot of exciting photos. Where to find this passage, we showed in our video below, be sure to check it out.
And here is our life hack for visiting Baiyoke Sky Tower. It is best to come here before sunset, and then you can see the beautiful Bangkok in daylight, and the magnificent city at night. To do this, we advise you to approach the cashier about an hour before sunset, but the sunset time in Bangkok is today:
Then climb to the very top and enjoy the daytime views of the city. Then you can go back down to the bar on the 83rd floor, order a free cocktail there, and with a glass in your hand to the accompaniment of beautiful views outside the window, spend the sun over the horizon. Well, when you "finish" the cocktail, you can go up to the open observation deck again and enjoy the night views of the sparkling lights of Bangkok.
Interesting fact! Before entering the open observation deck, there is an honor board, where photos and names of the winners of the annual high-speed walking climb to the tower are posted. At the time of our visit to the Bike, the last race was in 2020, and pay attention to the photo, who is its winner and the owner of the absolute time record. We are proud of you, Ivan!
