Tulum Sky Bar

Take the lift to the 29th floor of Estella Ekkamai and the city rearranges itself below you. This is Mexico by way of Bangkok: macramé, low lantern light, palm shadows thrown across concrete, and a skyline that runs to the horizon. Tulum Sky Bar plays the boho-chic jungle angle without tipping into kitsch, which is harder than it sounds up here.

Come for golden hour. Arrive around 5 PM when the doors open, claim a spot along the edge, and watch the light go amber then violet over the Sukhumvit sprawl. That first hour is the quiet one. It doesn’t stay quiet.

Drink like you mean it

The bar runs on agave. Tequila and mezcal do the heavy lifting, cut with citrus, spiked with spice, and pulled through smoky twists on the classics you already know. Drinks open from ฿450, which is fair for this floor and this view. Order the Mexican-inspired bar bites to go with them, the kind of plates built for sharing while you’re three cocktails deep and arguing about which rooftop comes next.

By mid-evening the energy turns over. Deep house, Afro beats, Latin rhythms, a crowd that came to be here rather than tick a box. It reads less like a hotel bar and more like a stylish getaway that happens to sit above the traffic.

Know before you go

Ekkamai is the move for a reason. This stretch is built for a long night, and you’ll find the full lay of the land on our Ekkamai page. Dress smart-casual, lean polished, and skip the flip-flops; if you want the specifics, Dress codes, decoded has you covered. Book ahead on weekends, because the good edge tables go fast and walk-ins get the leftovers.

Want to keep moving? The Norm Bangkok and Spire Rooftop Bar make easy next stops, and if you’re chasing that sunset window across town, 7 rooftops for golden hour maps the best of them. Tulum hits hardest late, when the music’s up and the city’s lit. Go on a weekend, stay past midnight, and let the night run long.
