Iconic / classic rooftops
Sky Bar (Lebua) — featured in Hangover 2, top of the price ladder. ฿2,000+ minimum. Vertigo (Banyan Tree) — best 360° view, premium pricing. Octave (Marriott Sukhumvit) — better value, still excellent view, less touristy.

ABar Rooftop (BTS Asoke) — quietly excellent, river view. Above Eleven (Soi 11) — Peruvian + sky view, mid-range. Char (Hotel Indigo) — newer, less crowded.
Practical tips
Dress code is enforced — collared shirts, no flip-flops. Reservations essential weekends. Sunset slot (5:30-7pm) is most desirable. Drinks ฿380-650 typical. Food often expensive vs ground-level Thai. Eat first, drink rooftop.
