Malika Sky Bar

4.9(2,062 reviews)

Perched above Patong as part of the Kalima Resort on Phabaramee Road, Malika Sky Bar and Terrace offers an elevated open-air setting that draws evening visitors for sundowners, cocktails, and dinner against a backdrop of hillside scenery and city lights. The rooftop positioning gives the venue a distinct atmosphere that shifts naturally as dusk gives way to nightfall, making arrival around opening time particularly rewarding for those who want to catch the full transition. The setting suits couples, small groups, and solo travellers looking for a relaxed but polished evening out. As both a bar and restaurant, it works equally well for a full dinner or drinks alone, offering more flexibility than venues focused on one or the other. The open-air terrace format keeps things informal without sacrificing atmosphere, and the hillside elevation separates the experience meaningfully from Patong's busier street-level dining scene below. Good to know: Malika Sky Bar opens at 17:30 every night of the week and closes at 23:00, keeping consistent hours across all seven days. Arriving near opening time is advisable, particularly on weekends and during the high season between November and April, when rooftop venues in Patong tend to fill early. Smart-casual dress fits the setting well. Checking availability or making a reservation through the Kalima Resort website before visiting during peak periods is recommended.

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.
