At least ten new rooftop bars are slated to open across Bangkok before the November high season, hotel groups have announced. The newcomers range from a jungle-themed deck above Thonglor to a 70th-floor champagne lounge in Silom. Industry watchers say the boom reflects record tourist arrivals and the city's enduring love affair with a sunset view.
