Jasper Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Tickets to the skywalk is 1,050 baht! http://www.khaosodenglish.com/featured/2018/11/16/bangkoks-tallest-building-opens-skywalk/ BANGKOK — The nation’s tallest skyscraper now has the highest rooftop bar and skywalks in the kingdom. The MahaNakhon Skywalk, sitting 314 meters up the King Power ManaNakhon skyscraper, opens to the public today. The skywalks are located on the 74th, 75th and 78th floors. The 74th floor is an indoor observation deck that offers augmented reality looks at tourist attractions in Bangkok. The 75th floor has a glass elevator which leads to the rooftop and an outdoor observation deck on the 78th floor. Visit the the topmost floor and step onto the Glass Tray, a transparent floor for heartstopping views straight down. Up another flight of steps sits The Peak, a platform offering a 360-degree view. Have a drink to calm your nerves at what’s billed as the highest rooftop bar in Thailand. MahaNakhon Skywalk is open to the public 10am to midnight daily. The MahaNakhon building is located on Narathiwas Road at BTS Chong Nonsi. Tickets to the skywalk? They come at two levels: 850 baht tickets offer access to the 74th floor, while 1,050 baht tickets offer access to all the three floors (74th, 75th and 78th). King Power MahaNakhon, formerly MahaNakhon, opened in 2016 and became the tallest skyscraper. It exceeds the Baiyoke II Tower by 10 meters to become the tallest building at a height of 314 meters. Its claim could be short-lived, however, depending on if and when the Rama IX Super Tower is completed, which would dwarf MahaNakhon at 615 meters.

PeterRS Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 I have had drinks and dinner at Vertigo and at the top of a couple of other tall buildings in Bangkok. I simply cannot see their attraction. Bangkok is dead flat. There is virtually nothing of interest to see except lots of lights. Go to the top of Taipei 101, the bar at the top of the Ritz Carlton in Hong Kong or other tall buildings in Tokyo, San Francisco, Rio and many other major cities and you get a fantastic perspective of the city below and the hills on which they are built or which surround them. It is the topography which makes them interesting. Bangkok from above is visually just boring and not worth the price to get up high.

Jasper Posted November 18, 2018 Author Share Posted November 18, 2018 I heard Bangkok bar girls already started asking customers to take them to the skywalk. No doubt some boys would do the same in order to update their Facebook or Instagram. lol vinapu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are various places of interest, mostly temples for me, all around Bangkok that you could spot from a high point. I would go at least an hour before sunset to have natural light. After darkness I can't see the point of being in a high point. vinapu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the difference between night and day, Christian; the sun in the day, the stars and the Moon at night. Also too hot to be outside in the daytime, but pleasant at night. vinapu and witty 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
