Mahanakhon SkyWalk: a glass floor 314 m above the city.
About King Power Mahanakhon
King Power Mahanakhon is the pixelated glass skyscraper on Narathiwat Ratchanakharin Road in Silom, right beside BTS Chong Nonsi. It is one of the tallest buildings in Bangkok, and its top floors are open to visitors as the Mahanakhon SkyWalk, with an indoor observation deck and an open-air rooftop high above the city.
A lift takes you up to the indoor deck on the 74th floor, then to the 78th-floor rooftop, where the famous glass tray lets you stand over a sheer drop. There is also a rooftop bar for drinks. Tickets sit at the upper end of Bangkok sights and vary by time slot, with sunset slots usually costing more; ticket sellers such as Klook, Viator and Trip.com list promotions.
It is a classic date: dramatic views, a little thrill on the glass floor and a drink at the top. Book a slot about 30 to 60 minutes before sunset to see the city in daylight, golden hour and after dark in one visit. Weekdays are calmer than weekends.
