All of those things can be romantic, but we’ve taken time to determine some of the top romantic places in Bangkok, that you’ll want to see on your visit. Read on to learn more and choose what you want to see!
1. Bangkok Tree House
Bangkok Tree House is a unique experience that is not for just anyone. It’s a beautiful place to stay, and a truly unforgettable experience to stay in a treehouse. But be sure to read the fine print before deciding to stay. The Tree House does not fumigate to get rid of insects and other bugs. The breeze from the river keeps things cool, so air-conditioning is not necessary for public spaces. Small air-conditioning units are available in the nests to ensure comfortable sleep with minimal environmental impact. Bangkok Tree House has outdoor showers in most nests. The Tree House is not reachable by car, only on foot, bike, or boat. This makes the area calm and quiet. It’s a great place to stay for those who love nature.

Visiting Bangkok
While there is so much to do in Bangkok, it can be tough to know whats best to do for a romantic outing. These sights are some top options in the city. Enjoy!
RedSky at CentralWorld
Contributed by Trip101 Local Expert, Pallavi Mandar Jadhav
This is the first rooftop bar I remember visiting, and it just seems such a world away from the traffic and noise that is synonymous with Bangkok. The bar is on the 55th floor of the Centara Grand Hotel, which is a part of the CentralWorld complex. The complex includes an office tower, multiple malls, and a hotel. When my workplace was in the office tower, RedSky was my top choice for a meet-up with friends over drinks. While groups are common, you will always find couples enjoying an intimate date night here.
The vibe is pretty chill, and the color-changing arc over the bar is quite an interesting feature. The staff has always been extremely friendly and they make some exceptional drinks. The best thing is that the prices are pretty decent as well. The bar serves food too, but you can also enjoy a meal at one of the many restaurants at the hotel before heading up for drinks.
Vertigo & Moon Bar Rooftop at Banyan Tree
Contributed by Trip101 Local Expert, Pallavi Mandar Jadhav
While the bar and the restaurant area of this place are technically different, the rooftop is generally just referred to as Vertigo. The space is designed with soft lighting and small table settings for a more intimate experience. The crowd is usually well-dressed here, as ripped jeans and shorts are frowned upon. In fact, my group was once denied entry because one person was in the aforementioned ripped jeans.
While the bar offers some spectacular views, you will hardly ever find people disturbing other patrons to click photographs. Everyone is just there to enjoy the experience and the view and go back with some memories.
Mahanakhon Skywalk
Contributed by Trip101 Local Expert, Pallavi Mandar Jadhav
This futuristic building opened just a few years back and already is a popular spot on tourist itineraries. When I visited just before COVID, we had to wait approximately 45 minutes before we even got to the elevators. The view from the top is absolutely beautiful, and the best time to get there is around 4 pm. That way, even if you have to wait in line for a bit, you do not miss the sunset. Walk hand in hand around the observatory on the 74th floor before heading up to the 78th-floor skywalk.
The best part about the skywalk is the glass bridge that extends over the building; definitely not meant for those scared of heights though! There used to be a rooftop bar when I visited, but it seems to have closed now.
