King Power Mahanakhon SkyWalk

Bangkok's highest observation deck, on the 74th–78th floors of the pixelated Mahanakhon tower — including a stomach-dropping glass floor at 310m. Slick, expensive (from about 880 baht, more at sunset), and very much a manufactured attraction, but the view is legitimately the best in the city. Weather can close the outdoor deck, so check the forecast.

Key facts

Frequently asked questions

What happens if it rains during my visit?

The outdoor 78th-floor deck, glass tray, and peak close in rain or storms for safety — you'd be limited to the indoor 74th-floor deck. Check the forecast before booking, especially in the May–October wet season; afternoon storms are near-daily then.

Is sunset or daytime better at the SkyWalk?

Sunset, no contest — arrive an hour before and you get the city in daylight, the sun dropping behind the Chao Phraya, and Bangkok lighting up, all on one ticket. It's also the most crowded slot, so expect to stake out a west-facing spot early.

Mahanakhon SkyWalk vs a rooftop bar — which should I pick?

If you want the absolute highest, glass-floor thrill and daytime views, the SkyWalk. If you mainly want the skyline at night with a drink in hand, a rooftop bar like those on Sathorn or along the river gives you the view for the cost of a cocktail instead of an entry ticket.

Is the glass floor at Mahanakhon scary?

The Glass Tray juts out at 310 metres with nothing but glass between you and Silom below — most people hesitate at the edge, then love it. You'll wear provided shoe covers and bags aren't allowed on the glass. If it's raining, it closes.

What are Mahanakhon SkyWalk's opening hours?

Currently 10am to 7pm daily, with the day split into daytime (10am–4pm) and pricier sunset (4pm–7pm) sessions. Hours have shifted over the years — the official site is worth a check the week you go.

Is there a bar at the top of Mahanakhon?

Yes — a rooftop bar on the peak serves drinks at predictable skyscraper prices. Some visitors treat a cocktail up top as the reason to linger past sunset; budget an extra few hundred baht per drink.

How do I get to King Power Mahanakhon?

BTS to Chong Nonsi — the station exit connects practically straight into the tower. It's the single easiest attraction to reach in Bangkok; no taxi needed from anywhere on the Silom or Sukhumvit lines.

How much is the Mahanakhon SkyWalk ticket?

General admission starts around 880 baht for adults (about 250 for kids), and sunset-slot tickets run up to about 1,200 baht. Weekday promotions and online platforms like Klook often undercut the walk-up price meaningfully, so book ahead.
