Mahanakhon Skywalk – 2025 Guide to Bangkok’s Best Rooftop Experience
Bangkok’s tallest building, worth it for the awesome views
The Mahanakhon is a skyscraper in Bangkok that features a unique pixelated look. The rooftop of this building has some of Bangkok’s best views and an area with a glass floor that lets you look straight down to ground level — terrifying if you’re afraid of heights but really cool!

Mahanakhon Skywalk ticket prices
Mahanakhon Skywalk adult tickets are a bit cheaper before 3:30 pm. If that’s the only time you have to go, it’s worth doing, but sunset is the best time to be up there. The prices below are not a verified current tariff: the SkyWalk operator and The Standard hotel list different rates (checked 6 September 2026). Check the price and entry time for your chosen ticket before booking. You can avoid the ticket queue when you arrive by buying tickets in advance from Klook. We recommend this option to save time, but check the cancellation terms for the ticket you choose.
Sunset in Thailand is basically between 5:30 and 6:30 pm year-round. If you’re only going for drinks at Sky Beach Bar and arriving later than 6:30, don’t buy advanced tickets, you have to pay when you arrive.
| Adults | Children 3-12 years* | Seniors 60+* | |

Location and directions to Mahanakhon Skywalk
The Mahanakhon is located right at the Chong Nonsi BTS (Skytrain) station which has one exit that drops you literally in front of the building. This part of Bangkok gets pretty bad traffic so we strongly advise taking the train here. If you still want to take a taxi, any driver should know the Mahanakhon building.
Restricted items
The operator’s policy refers to carry-on items, but check with Guest Services about your bag and storage before visiting.
The operator lists tripods, food and drink among its restricted items. Its published policy bans pets but makes an exception for guide dogs assisting visually impaired visitors. If you will have larger items with you, there are some coin-operated lockers nearby at this location.
Getting the most out of your visit
Once inside, you queue for an elevator ride to the top. There is a very cool panoramic CGI show in the lift on the way up and down so have your phone ready if you want to record any of it. Once at the top, start exploring around.
There are indoor 360-degree panoramic views on the 74th floor. An escalator will take you up one floor to a very cool glass elevator that takes you the rest of the way to the outdoor roof.
Note: Outdoor areas may close in bad weather. Check the closure and refund terms for your ticket before booking.
Once on the rooftop, you can get drinks and check out the glass floor. If you’re afraid of heights it is pretty scary, but if you’re not it’s fine. You need to wear cloth covers over your shoes and place all of your belongings into a padded cloth bag that you can take with you onto the glass. They are very strict about not allowing any cameras or phones on the glass. If you want that Instagram Gold, you will have to get a friend to take it from off of the glass while you are on it.
Staying in the hotel at Mahanakhon

If you want to stay in the area, The Standard Hotel is located in the Mahanakhon building and is one of Bangkok’s best hotels. It’s in a great location as well. Highly recommended if it’s in your budget.
Is the King Power Mahanakhon Skywalk worth it?
Bangkok has plenty of nice rooftop bars without entry fees so the money you spend at Mahanakhon could go towards a couple of drinks or some food elsewhere. That said, there is something to being the highest, and the views from the Mahanakhon Skywalk are pretty fantastic. The price does feel a bit high for what it is, but it’s not that unreasonable either. If this is your kind of thing, then definitely go for it. If you’re on the fence, head to a rooftop bar instead.
King Power Mahanakhon Skywalk drink prices
Drink prices are pretty steep up here, as you would expect. The December 2018 menu below listed soft drinks from 180 Baht, beers from 270 Baht, mixed drinks at 440 Baht, and glasses of wine at 540 Baht. These are historical prices, not current quotes.
Exit through the gift shop
One thing you might find amusing or annoying, on your way out the elevator drops you on the 4th floor of the King Power duty-free mall. There is no signage pointing to the exit so you’re left to wander past all the displays, looking for escalators to escape. It seemed to take around ten minutes for us to find our way out. This might just be the longest “exit through the gift shop” experience anywhere in the world.
