About this tour
When Jake from our team tried the Baiyoke Sky observation decks with a buffet meal, we found ourselves 88 storeys up in one of Bangkok's most recognisable towers. You get access to two viewing levels — the enclosed 77th-floor deck with historical displays and floor-to-ceiling glass, plus the 84th-floor open-air platform that slowly rotates to show you the whole city. Lunch or dinner at the international seafood buffet is included, along with both viewing areas. The experience runs 1–2 hours depending on how long you linger over food and views. It's a straightforward booking: pick your meal time, collect your ticket on the lower floors, and head up.
Highlights
- 84th-floor rotating deck spins you 360 degrees of Bangkok skyline.
- Enclosed 77th-floor observation deck stays comfortable in heat or rain.
- Live cooking stations and fresh seafood spread across the buffet.
- Views stretch across the entire metropolitan sprawl without obstruction.
- Ticket collection is quick — just give your name at the desk.
- Wheelchair-accessible throughout, including both decks and dining area.
- Meal time confirmed 24 hours prior so no surprise scheduling.
What to expect
You'll collect your ticket on the 18th or 19th floor by stating your name — straightforward admin. Then it's a lift ride to the dining area where the buffet is laid out across multiple stations. The seafood selection and international dishes are the main draw; quality varies but it's generous and fresh enough. Dining time is flexible within your booked slot, so you can eat first and view after, or vice versa.
The real highlight is the 84th-floor rotating platform. It's genuinely open-air, so you feel the heat and wind, and the slow 360-degree rotation gives you time to snap photos from every angle. The 77th-floor deck is more sheltered with better lighting for daytime visits. Both offer uncluttered views of the sprawl below — power plants, canals, residential blocks, the lot. It reads like Bangkok, not a filtered postcard.

Good to know
You're paying for convenience and height rather than culinary excellence. The buffet is adequate, the views from 84 storeys up are genuine and free of obstruction, and the rotating platform is a fun novelty. Families with kids under 80 cm get free entry, and the whole operation is wheelchair-accessible. Daytime visits work well for sightseeing; evening shots are moodier but hotter and more crowded.
Drinks cost extra, which adds up if you're thirsty after the buffet. The meal quality is hotel-standard buffet rather than restaurant-quality, so manage expectations there. Weather can be a factor on the open-air 84th floor — Bangkok heat is intense at midday, and rain or air quality on smoggy days dulls the views. It's popular with tour groups, so lunch and dinner slots can feel packed. Infant pricing rules are strict (under 80 cm free, 80–120 cm child rate), so check measurements.
Bring your confirmation email for quick ticket collection. Wear comfortable shoes for standing and walking. Public transport is nearby; there's no hotel pickup included. Peak times are lunch and sunset; shoulder slots tend to be quieter. The experience suits all ages and fitness levels, but small kids might find the queues tedious.
