Bangkok Heightz Rooftop (Restaurant & Bar 39th floor)

4.7(2,413 reviews)

Perched on the 39th floor of The Continent Hotel on Sukhumvit Road, Bangkok Heightz offers panoramic views of the Bangkok skyline alongside a food and drinks programme that goes well beyond the typical rooftop experience. The kitchen takes Thai cuisine as its foundation, applying modern techniques and presentation that respect traditional flavours while giving them a contemporary edge — making it a genuine dining destination rather than simply a venue chosen for its altitude. The atmosphere is polished but relaxed, with attentive staff regularly noted by visitors as a highlight of the experience. The rooftop setting comes into its own after dark, when the city lights spread out across the horizon and the open-air environment shifts into a more atmospheric evening mood. The venue functions equally well as a dinner spot or a late-night bar, drawing a steady crowd across all seven nights of the week. Good to know: Bangkok Heightz opens daily at 5 PM and stays open until 2 AM, covering everything from early sundowners to late-night drinks. Smart casual dress suits the upscale rooftop setting. Advance booking is recommended, particularly on weekends or if a table with a direct city view is a priority. The Sukhumvit Road location puts it within easy reach of the BTS Skytrain network, making it straightforward to reach from most parts of Bangkok.

Visitor Reviews

Dining on the 39th floor at Bangkok Heightz feels less like a rooftop stop and more like a carefully staged culinary experience above the city. The value here is not only the view: the real strength lies in the quality of the ingredients, precise preparation, and thoughtful plating. The kitchen delivers a flavor of Siam with western notes, balancing fragrant herbs and subtle spice with clean, structured techniques. Textures are handled with care, from crisp, lightly charred edges to tender, juicy interiors, and the sweet, spicy, and acidic elements are calibrated so each bite feels composed rather than loud. Aromas of lemongrass and citrus rise gently from the plate, and the presentation shows attention to detail without overcomplicating the dish. Service is attentive and well paced, with staff explaining components clearly and maintaining smooth timing between courses. The atmosphere is refined yet relaxed, allowing the skyline to frame the evening without overshadowing the food. Book a table around sunset for the best light and reserve in advance, especially on weekends, to secure a spot near the edge.

Bangkok Heightz Rooftop Restaurant is a true revelation for Thai cuisine. This place reimagines traditional Thai food with a modern execution that respects the classics while elevating them with innovative techniques and presentation. Each dish felt like a thoughtful conversation between tradition and contemporary flair, delivering bold flavors and refined textures that lingered on the palate. The cocktails deserve a special shout-out. They’re super delicious and presented in creative, unique ways that instantly elevate the dining experience. It’s clear the bar team crafts not just drinks, but little works of art that complement the menu perfectly. My dinner was fantastic, and the staff were incredibly attentive from start to finish. They anticipated needs, offered great recommendations, and made the evening feel effortless and special. If you’re looking for a rooftop setting with standout Thai cuisine, inventive drinks, and stellar service, Bangkok Heightz is a must-visit. Would highly recommend to friends and anyone celebrating a special night out.

It was the final rooftop bar we visited during our stay in Bangkok—and it certainly delivered a memorable experience. From the moment you step into the lobby, the staff are incredibly attentive and welcoming. After a quick elevator ride up to the 38th floor, followed by a short walk up one more level of stairs, you arrive at a stunning rooftop setting that immediately impresses. The cocktail menu is creatively inspired by Bangkok’s train system, which adds a unique and playful touch to the overall concept. The presentation of the cocktails is exceptional—truly a 10/10. Each drink is crafted with care and served with smooth, friendly service. With its relaxed atmosphere and spectacular views, it’s the perfect place to watch the sunset over the vibrant, bustling streets of Bangkok while enjoying expertly made cocktails.

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.
