Bangkok Glam - The Roofbar

Bangkok is a city with two faces - one face is a working class people who are busy everyday turning Thai hospitality and ambition into ends meat. The other face is one of ex-patriots, royalty, western visitors, and Thai middle and upper class alike, taking advantage of world class service and offerings available at the city's finest establishments. This is why we love Thailand. We can have a meal on the street for two of us for $15, followed by $20 drinks at a fabulous rooftop bar without changing clothes. 

Bangkok's rooftop bars are plentiful and inspiring. One of the most famous ones is sirocco rooftop bar, the filming location for the hangover II. While we have been to that bar several times, our favorite is Moon Bar, just down the street from sirocco in the banyan tree hotel. The bar (and restaurant) are on the 63rd floor (on top of the building quite literally) and are complete with 360 degree views of the city. This is important in Bangkok, as the city has no center, rather, its skyline is sprawled across many square miles. Naturally, a rooftop bar is a must for me in Bangkok - As indicated directly in the description of this blog, I love to scale tall things for unique pictures of skylines.

Not sure but I think northeast again. 

At this place we do what most people do - order and nurse one $20 drink for as long as we want to linger amongst the clouds. We don't leave without copious photos of the skyline or ourselves (we are in Asia, after all). 

These were taken by our campy, outlandish Thai waiter. 

Sawadee ka!
