Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

If you only visit one observation deck in Bangkok, make it this one. The Mahanakhon SkyWalk is located atop the 314-meter-tall King Power Mahanakhon, the pixelated tower on Naradhiwat Rajanagarindra Road, and is Thailand's highest observation deck. While the building itself lost the title of Thailand's tallest to the Magnolias Waterfront Residences at ICONSIAM in 2018, nowhere else can you stand so high above the ground. The elevator, designed like a scene from a music video, reaches the 74th-floor observation deck in under 50 seconds, and the open-air roof on the 78th floor offers breathtaking views through 63 square meters of glass at 310 meters above street level.

Wear disposable overshoes on the glass and keep your phone and other loose items away from the tray. The photo of the floor was taken by the staff photographer. The i-TILT on the 75th floor lets you lean up to 65 degrees over the edge for 450 baht (in addition to the SkyWalk ticket) from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Once you're at the top, there's no time limit. Enjoy the sunset and then stay to admire the lights. The drinks at the Sky Beach Rooftop Bar are adapted to the altitude.

The SkyWalk is open daily from 10:00 AM to midnight, with last entry at 11:00 PM. On the tower's website, adults pay 1,000 baht from 10:00 AM to 3:30 PM and 1,200 baht from 3:30 PM to 7:00 PM (sunset time). Children aged 8 to 12 and visitors over 60 pay 500 and 600 baht, respectively. Tickets are valid for a specific date and time, are non-refundable, and do not allow re-entry. Therefore, book sunset tickets one day in advance for weekends. Exit 3 of the Chong Nonsi BTS station is just a short walk from the entrance.
