Axis & Spin Rooftop Restaurant & Bar (38th floor)
Come for the sunset, stay because nobody's hurrying you along. This is the rooftop on top of The Continent Hotel on Sukhumvit, 38 floors up, working as bar, lounge and restaurant at once. The view runs right across the Bangkok skyline, and the hour where daylight goes and the city lights come up is the reason most people book. Get there before that happens rather than during, because the early evening slots fill.
What comes through in the reviews, over and over, is the staff. Guests name them individually. Birthdays get a cake and a song. That sort of thing isn't in any brochure, but it tells you more about a place than the cocktail list does. Food gets consistent praise too, plated with some care, and there's a breakfast service if you're staying in the building. Skyline guests at the hotel get a lounge sitting from 5pm to 7pm with a couple of small dishes and drinks included, which reads as genuinely good value.

Reviews from Google
I was a Skyline guest at the Continent hotel, and I have to say Axis & Spin Rooftop Restaurant & Bar is an absolute standout. The Skyline lounge experience from 5-7 pm is a fantastic value: two small, incredibly delicious dishes crafted with love and creativity, plus complimentary drinks during the same time window. It’s a very valuable offer that sets this place apart. The staff are genuinely amazing. A special shout-out to Ms. Magic, who cared for me in a perfect, thoughtful way and made me feel right at home. It’s rare to encounter such warm, attentive service — Ms. Magic embodies what hospitality should feel like: personal, attentive, and genuinely kind. The views from the rooftop pair beautifully with the inventive menu; each bite felt like a small culinary celebration. If you’re visiting, make sure to take advantage of the Skyline lounge timing and enjoy the exemplary service. Axis & Spin is now firmly on my must-visit list whenever I’m in town.
It was nice breakfast. It was my daughter’s birthday and staffs servered a cake with singing for her. Special thanks for Khaw, Jam, Oil, Som. Foods were good and beautifully decorated. The view from high floor was also nice.
Very good atmosphere with a panoramic view of Bangkok. Good drinks, chill vibes and the staffs Feb and Aem are very nice. Always a good choice to come and hang out after a long day.

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food
Learn the Spice Scale
Say 'mai pet' for no spice, 'pet nit noi' for a little spice, or 'pet mak' if you want it Thai-hot. Most cooks will default to a toned-down version for foreigners unless you specify otherwise.
Follow the Crowds
The busiest street stalls are almost always the best — high turnover means fresh ingredients and a recipe that locals vouch for. An empty restaurant at dinner time is a red flag.
Ice Is Safe
Factory-made tube or cylinder ice (used in virtually all restaurants and stalls) is made from purified water and is safe to consume. You don't need to skip the iced Thai tea.
