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

SkyFlyers is a giant swing at Asiatique The Riverfront, the night market on the Chao Phraya River. At 135 meters high, roughly the height of a 36-story building, it is advertised by Asset World, the owner of Asiatique, as the tallest giant swing in the Asia-Pacific region. The seats are pulled up inside the tower and swing in a wide circle, offering views of the river, the entire Asiatique complex, and the Bangkok skyline passing below.

The attraction opened on November 29, 2025, right next to Jurassic World: The Experience. Its themed name, "Wings of Garudapterus," is derived from a prehistoric flying reptile. Even the entrance is part of the show: you pass through a ticket lounge styled after the dinosaur era, a breeding ground, and a staircase reminiscent of a mine shaft, leading to a viewing platform from which you board the ride. The attraction itself was built by Funtime, an Austrian amusement ride manufacturer.

A ride costs 320 baht, the price Asset World set for the opening and which testers recently paid. There's also a combination ticket for Jurassic World starting at 999 baht. Tickets are available on-site on Level 1, while tickets booked online can be purchased directly on Level 2. According to testers, the ticket office is cashless; a digital waiver must be completed before payment, and a passport is required. Action cameras can be rented on Level 2 for 250 baht, though one tester had to wait over an hour.

Go after dark. Nighttime rides, when the city is illuminated, are highly praised by critics. Asset World initially listed opening hours as 2:00 PM to 10:00 PM daily, but Google now shows 1:00 PM to 10:00 PM, so an evening visit is definitely safe. Asiatique's free shuttle boat service from Sathorn Pier at the Saphan Taksin BTS station departs at 4:00 PM and is the most convenient way to get there.
