Yào Rooftop Bar

4.6(692 reviews)

Perched on the rooftop of the Bangkok Marriott Hotel The Surawongse on Surawong Road, Yào occupies a prime position in the Silom area, offering sweeping panoramic views of the Bangkok skyline alongside cocktails and dining in a polished, upscale setting. The venue draws both hotel guests and city visitors looking for a sophisticated evening out in central Bangkok. The atmosphere leans stylish and refined, consistent with what guests expect from a high-end rooftop bar in this part of the city. The focus is on craft cocktails and food served against the backdrop of the city lights, making it a natural fit for sunset drinks, dinner, or a late-night outing. The venue operates every evening from 5pm to 1am, giving visitors flexibility across the full evening. A few practical points worth noting: arriving closer to opening at 5pm is a good strategy for catching the sunset and securing preferred seating before the crowd builds. Smart casual attire suits the setting well. For larger groups or special occasions, contacting the venue in advance through the website at yaobangkok.com is advisable, as rooftop capacity can be limited and table reservations may be recommended on busier nights.

Tips for Visiting Nightlife & Bars

Carry Your Passport or a Copy

Clubs and some bars check IDs strictly, especially in Bangkok's Thonglor, RCA, and Sukhumvit areas. A photo of your passport info page on your phone usually works, but carrying a laminated photocopy is safer.

Know the Closing Times

Legal closing time is 2 AM for most venues, though enforcement varies. In Bangkok's designated entertainment zones (RCA, Silom Soi 2/4, Khao San), some clubs stay open until 4 AM. Islands tend to be more relaxed about hours.

Buy Bucket Drinks Cautiously

Island bucket drinks (mixed spirits in a small bucket) are cheap and fun but notoriously strong and inconsistent. Stick to one, stay hydrated, and never leave your drink unattended at beach parties.
