16 Best Hotels in Bangkok With Rooftop Pool (+ Epic Views)

Bangkok is one of my favourite cities in Southeast Asia. There are just so many things to see in Bangkok, so many places to visit, so many things to do. Get lost in temple hopping, visiting museums, haggling at the many markets, have endless fun with the electrifying nightlife, and who could forget the insane shopping!

I'm not at all complaining, but being up adventuring can take a toll on you. And then all you want to do is end your day with a sumptuous Thai meal (Pad Thai for me please!), a nice view and a refreshing way to beat the heat and sweat of the whole day. How about a cocktails overlooking the rooftops?

Good thing Bangkok's skyline is made up of so many skyscrapers because that's exactly what you need: an awesome hotel pool sitting on top of one of those high rises. And some of these pools are really to die for.

Best Areas To Stay In Bangkok

If you are unsure where to stay in Bangkok, I recommend the following areas:

• Bangkok Riverside: The best area for staying at a 5-star hotel in Bangkok. Lots of history and famous landmarks so it's a great area to stay in Bangkok for sightseeing. However, a little away from the main shopping areas and there is no MRT which means you need to go around by boat or taxi/tuk-tuk.
• Sukhumvit: The best area to stay in Bangkok if you want a bit of everything. Nice restaurants, big shopping malls, markets, bars, hotels for all budgets and a thriving nightlife. Things are quite spread out but the MRT and BTS Skytrain connects you easily. It is further to get to the historic parts of Bangkok for sightseeing.
• Siam: The best location to stay in Bangkok for shopping. Here you'll find the famous MBK, Central World and Siam Paragon which will keep you busy for days. It's in the heart of the city and you can access other parts of Bangkok easily by Skytrain.
• Silom: The best area to stay if you're in Bangkok for business. Also boasts a thriving nightlife and centre of the red light district. It's a very accessible area where you can easily walk anywhere but it lacks culture and authenticity.
• Khao San/Banglamphu Area: The best place to stay in Bangkok for nightlife. Lots of hotels and great for backpackers. Happy hour day and night!

That’s a ton of hotels with amazing rooftop swimming pools to choose from. Good luck selecting which to enjoy. Whichever you choose though, you'll surely have fun in all of these 14 Bangkok rooftop pools. Take a dip and enjoy the view, perhaps with a cocktail in hand from the near bar. Maybe even have your dinner by the pool. Bangkok will surely delight you from dusk till dawn.
