About this tour
When Alex from our team headed up Baiyoke Tower II, we found a straightforward way to tick off Bangkok's skyline without the fuss. You're looking at a couple of hours max — grab a spot in the Bangkok Sky Restaurant on the 76th or 78th floor for a sprawling international and Thai buffet, then ride the lifts to the 77th floor indoor observation deck (telescopes included) and the 84th floor open-air revolving platform for proper 360-degree views stretching toward the Gulf. It's busy, it's polished, and it works. Families and casual tourists pack this place, so expect crowds and a slightly theme-park vibe.
Highlights
- 84th floor open-air rotating deck delivers genuine unobstructed Bangkok views
- Live carving stations and fresh seafood spread across two dining levels
- Telescopes on 77th floor let you actually read street signs miles away
- Indoor and outdoor viewing options mean flexible weather planning
- Buffet included keeps the maths simple — no surprise drink markups
- Wheelchair accessible throughout; prams and infant seats catered for
- Grab your ticket on arrival; no pre-collection hassle required
What to expect
You'll arrive and collect your ticket from the 18th or 19th floor using your name — no faffing with pre-booked vouchers. Head straight to your assigned dining floor (notification comes 24 hours prior). The buffet spans two levels and moves at a comfortable pace; it's busy but organised. International spreads sit alongside live Thai cookery and seafood stations. After eating, you've got two viewing decks to explore: the 77th floor is air-conditioned with high-powered telescopes good for spotting detail across the sprawl, and the 84th floor is the showstopper — open to the sky, slowly rotating, and genuinely impressive on clear days. Pacing-wise, two to three hours covers it without feeling rushed. The crowd is mixed tourists and local families, so you won't feel out of place, though expect queuing at peak times.
What travellers say

Good to know
You're getting height, food, and viewing platforms in one transaction with no hidden charges (bar drinks, which you buy on-site). Works well for families with young kids — infant seats are available, children under 80cm go free, and the whole building is wheelchair accessible with lifts and ramps throughout. The revolving platform is genuinely cool and the views on a clear day stretch far.
It's touristy and crowded, especially lunch and early evening. The buffet is broad but not haute cuisine — it's quantity-first. Drinks cost extra and aren't cheap. If you're after a quiet, intimate dinner, look elsewhere. Early afternoon tends quieter. Bring cash for drinks; card payment can be slow. The final visiting time is only confirmed 24 hours out, which is tight for planning. Nearby BTS and MRT stops exist, but the walk from the station carries luggage poorly. Peak times are 12–2pm and 6–8pm.
