DRINKING & NIGHTLIFE
Riverside
SKY BAR
(
www.lebua.com/sky-bar
;
63rd fl, State Tower, 1055 Th Silom; 6pm-1am; Saphan Taksin exit 3)
Allegedly
one of the highest alfresco bars in the world, Sky Bar, located on the 63rd floor of this up-
market restaurant compound, provides heart-stopping views over Chao Phraya River. Note
that the dress code doesn't allow access to those wearing shorts and sandals.
BAR
VIVA & AVIV
BAR
(
www.vivaaviv.com
; ground fl, River City, 23 Th Yotha; 11am-midnight; river ferry Tha Si Phraya/River City or
shopping centre shuttle boat from Tha Sathon, Central Pier)
An enviable riverside location, casual open-
air seating and a funky atmosphere make this restaurant-ish bar a contender for Bangkok's
best sunset cocktail destination. Expect a pun-heavy menu (sample item: I 'foc'cat cia'
name!) of pizzas, meaty snacks and salads that really is no joke.
Silom
MAGGIE CHOO'S
BAR
(
www.facebook.com/maggiechoos
;
basement, Novotel Bangkok Fenix Silom, 320 Th Silom; 6.30pm-1.30am;
Surasak exit 1)
A former bank vault with a Chinatown opium-den vibe, secret passageways and
lounging women in silk dresses; with all this going on, it's easy to forget that the new Mag-
gie Choo's is actually a bar. But creative yet expensive and somewhat sweet house cock-
tails, and a crowd that blends selfie-snapping locals and curious tourists, are reminders of
this.
