Bangkok's Moon Bar: A 'Sex and the City' Experience

Moon Bar is one of Bangkok's renowned sky bars, known for its 'Sex and the City' vibe. Located on the rooftop of Banyan Tree Hotel, it offers a 360-degree view of Bangkok's nightscape, making it a worthwhile visit. No reservation is needed; just purchase a ticket upon arrival. To get there, take a taxi to Banyan Tree Bangkok, 21 Tban on Sathon Tai, Bang Rak. If dropped off outside, walk through to the temporary parking lot, enter the lobby, and take the second elevator to the 59th floor. If you're not staying at the hotel, the entrance fee is 800 THB per person. Hotel guests can charge drinks and food to their room deposit. Note that the entrance fee is non-refundable, and any shortfall must be paid. Drinks range from 400-700 THB per glass. We ordered four drinks and snacks, paying some extra cash. Payment can be made by credit card. The bar operates from 5 PM to 1 AM. For photos, wear bright, flashy, or contrasting outfits. Dress code prohibits flip-flops and overly casual attire. The stairs between the 59th and 60th floors are narrow and steep, so it's advisable to bring flats along with heels. The drinks were average, and the snacks were reheated frozen items, not very tasty. The main attraction is the photo opportunity. The bar is on the left and the dining area on the right on the 60th floor, which requires separate dining orders. Note that Bangkok is currently in the rainy season, with sudden downpours. We experienced rain during our visit and had to take shelter in the downstairs bar. Fortunately, the rain stopped by 10 PM, and we resumed our photo session. For the best shots, visit when the rooftop is less crowded. We had to rush downstairs when it started raining, even before finishing our drinks and snacks. Arrive early for the best window seats. #Bar #HiddenGemRestaurant #BangkokTravel #BangkokFood #BangkokSkyBar
