Vertigo and Moon Bar Rooftop Bar and Restaurant

Take in the stunning views  of this vast city from 61 floors above (also my favourite and dare i say the best Bangkok rooftop bar)!

Banyan tree’s Vertigo and moon bar provides a unique experience, where guests are welcomed by a fresh light breeze (which is a lovely surprise on a humid night) and a nice icy cold, freshly made cocktail by the roof top open-air bar.

Vertigo is one of my favourite rooftop restaurants in Bangkok, as you can dine on a set or al a carte menu and there’s no shortage of Western or Thai options plus you get a cute little flashlight to read the menus as the lighting isn’t the best ( it’s so you are able to enjoy the views better).

The Moon Bar’s speciality cocktail is a “Vertigo Sunset” which is made up of Malibu, pineapple juice, cranberry juice and lime juice. 

If you are unfortunate enough to be caught in the rain, the restaurant and bar will not be open, instead you will be relocate to one of their other restaurants which (don’t worry!) still has a great view of the city.
