Bangkok (Thailand) – July 5, 2019 (travelindex.com) – The Mahanakhon Bangkok SkyBar, Thailand's highest restaurant and bar, has opened in the King Power Mahanakhon, Bangkok's iconic landmark. Located in the heart of Sathorn and directly connected to the Chong Nonsi BTS station, the new restaurant occupies the 76th and 77th floors of the iconic, pixelated building. Inspired by the Chao Phraya River and the concept of a multifaceted journey, the upscale, contemporary brasserie offers an exotic escape from the hustle and bustle of Bangkok. Tastefully designed indoor and outdoor seating areas, as well as exclusive VIP lounges, provide guests with a comfortable setting to enjoy world-class cocktails and unique dishes. The latest masterpiece from Wilson Associates, under the direction of Tristan Auer, the Mahanakhon Bangkok SkyBar is Bangkok's newest culinary icon.

Marc Begassat, Managing Director of King Power Mahanakhon, said: “Following the successful opening of Thailand’s highest observation deck last November, we are delighted to announce the opening of the Mahanakhon Bangkok SkyBar, Thailand’s highest restaurant and bar. This new milestone is the culmination of our passion to create an exceptional culinary destination and a major landmark in a location that uniquely honors the city. We look forward to welcoming domestic and international guests to King Power Mahanakhon and continuing to enrich Thailand’s tourism landscape with unique attractions.”

The modern brasserie offers a menu of refined Western and Asian dishes, as well as creations by chef Joshua Cameron. The worldly-wise American, who previously worked at the world-renowned New York restaurant Eleven Madison Park, draws culinary inspiration from his passion for travel and exploring international flavors. The menu is complemented by an extensive selection of classic cocktails and over 100 fine wines, with a focus on natural wines.

The journey begins the moment you step into the wood-paneled entrance hall, where French elegance blends with Thai-inspired patterns. Inside, the elegant interior features a luxurious dining area with stylish lamps and floor-to-ceiling windows offering breathtaking views. A large bull's head sculpture, French antiques, Japanese ceramics, and hand-painted vases tell the story of an adventurous yet sophisticated traveler and guide you to a white marble bar. The outdoor terrace transforms into an urban jungle, surrounded by lush greenery, creating the feeling of a forest high above the rooftops of Bangkok. Designed by Tristan Auer's world-renowned team at Wilson Associates, the Mahanakhon Bangkok SkyBar offers an oasis of calm and relaxation for the modern urbanite and cosmopolitan traveler.
