I think it's definitely still worth it, free cocktail in the bar with your ticket, and it's a great revolving view from the top. I suppose many would go to the trendier Mahanakhon Tower nowadays.
It's definitely worth it! Last September, I spent my first night in Thailand at the Baiyoke, I wanted to start my holiday from there. The rooms need some renovation, but the view from the platform above is absolutely fantastic, you can stay up there for hours watching the entire city and never get tired
Baiyoke Tower used to be the tallest building in Thailand for many years before it was toppled by Mahanakorn. There is an annual vertical running event upto the top viewing area. Google for date.
Thanks for the update. I went there myself last time I was in Bangkok, spend some 5-6 hours up there since I also wanted to wait for the sunset. Can’t complain about the views, they are spectacular, but the tower does feel pretty dated.
Congrats.....you will hit 50K very soon.....👍👍One of my favorite hotels, stayed at Baiyoke Sky many times, a bit outdated but always get good deals and it's worth every cent, always good service and very friendly staff, one of the padlocks on the metal railing of the revolving platform is mine. I know the area very well, many good markets and malls in the area, and a bit of everything to do, great video Jeroen.
A Blast from the Past! But… which blast? We used to go to the Baiyoke Tower beginning 90’ies on Sunday early evenings to have a beer & snack at the roof top restaurant. Hold on… Baiyoke Tower??? Yes, it is called now Baiyoke Suites. But in those days it was one of the tallest buildings! And free entry , pre-selfie era. Revolving restaurants? Well, I staid at the Narai on Silom rd , had a revolving restaurant with stunning views. But with more higher concrete around it, they closed it. Now demolished for a new and higher hotel . Always still surprised about the green Makkasan railway yard. When you drive by on the railroad link and look from above, you see the very old buildings and old carriages. Now middle of Bangkok, in those days a swampy area outside town. Nice vlog with funny reactions - that the Sky hotel is a bit old 😅😅😅. Means that I am a senior citizen now.
Hi Jeroen, Nice video!! You made my memories fresh, as on my visit to Bangkok in 2018, I stayed in Hotel Citin Pratunam near to Baiyoke Tower. If possible, make one video on Indra Square also.
A week ago I was at the gym in my building (upper floor) and wondered what this tall building was so I google imaged it. Learned it was the Baiyoke hotel but did not look further into it. Now I have another destination! Thanks
Great video, as always! Another great way to enjoy the Baiyoke Tower views is to come in the morning, pay 450 bahts (per person) for a full breakfast and enjoy the views for 2 hours or so! IMHO, better value than the 389 bahts for a drink!
I stayed at the hotel about 10 years ago. The toilet stuck at about 11:00 pm. The maintenance guys came and fixed it and by the time it was done, it was 2:30 am.
I went in the morning back in June. Disappointing, especially that noisy revolving floor. And i have been a few times over the years. I think your timing is better - 4:45 to sunset. Thanks for sharing.
Was it noisy really? I didn't hear anything when I visited as they decided to switch it off an hour earlier for maintenance they told me when I went to complain 🤣
Thanks for the review. Going to Thailand for first time and this is great. Should i get ticket early? I've been seeing rise in tourism and I think they might be sold out or crowded in specific time (sunset)
Is it really the highest bar in bkk?? Is the bar in the mahanakhon not at 310m and then up the stairs gets you to 314m. Looks cool though might have to add it to my plans in March
It is a minimum buffet. The only thing is that they have is the view. The buffet is not exceptional. It is average except for Peking Duck.You have to paid extra for the wine. Arriving after 8 PM and the offers are running out.

Definitely will add in our trip in BKK in January. Thanks! 👍
Music in your videos now are really relaxing this may have something to do why I enjoy watching again jereon
I never been up there in that rooftop bar, just realized from your video how huge is Bangkok.
Baiyoke Tower used to be the tallest building in Thailand for many years before it was toppled by Mahanakorn. There is an annual vertical running event upto the top viewing area. Google for date.
Thank you very much for these amazing views from that giant !!!!!

Wow.. it's just amazing..
I stayed there in August 2022. Good hotel, great buffet food.
I enjoyed the views!!!
Greetings from Dubai 🙋❤️
Beautiful bar and I'm glad it's covered by glasses coz I'm really scared of hights 💚
Hi Jeroen, Nice video!! You made my memories fresh, as on my visit to Bangkok in 2018, I stayed in Hotel Citin Pratunam near to Baiyoke Tower. If possible, make one video on Indra Square also.
The tallest hotel building back in those days, glad it is still hanging tough amid the progress of BKK skyline!
A week ago I was at the gym in my building (upper floor) and wondered what this tall building was so I google imaged it. Learned it was the Baiyoke hotel but did not look further into it. Now I have another destination! Thanks
It's cool to go up there and search for your building.
Thanks i go there in Feb 2024 (2 nights), great tour
What was your gear for shooting at night for 360° ??
Great video, as always! Another great way to enjoy the Baiyoke Tower views is to come in the morning, pay 450 bahts (per person) for a full breakfast and enjoy the views for 2 hours or so! IMHO, better value than the 389 bahts for a drink!
New Camera is amazing
My husband ate up there years ago with friends. Hopefully I’ll have a chance to go up, I was sick with heat exhaustion the last time he got to go.
If you need to choose, I would go to the king Power Tower.
The most beautiful view point in Bangkok is Baiyoke Tower 2.
I stayed at the hotel about 10 years ago. The toilet stuck at about 11:00 pm. The maintenance guys came and fixed it and by the time it was done, it was 2:30 am.

@@sandro63 😆 I made a video, and it was like a construction site. I will upload it with music. They did stop it, and i enjoyed it more.
Thanks for the review. Going to Thailand for first time and this is great. Should i get ticket early? I've been seeing rise in tourism and I think they might be sold out or crowded in specific time (sunset)
I just went there and there where not so many people. I think you will be fine.
Awesome video!
Scott, Patt contacted me and I will be there.
@@globaltravelmate My family and I are excited to see both you and your wife. There will be plenty of food and beer!
Hi, Is there a BTS station near to Baiyoke ? Which station is the nearest, in walkable distance ? thank you
bangkok is sooo big city but the traffic jammed a bit scary at the same time huhu
Thankyou for exploring this building, now i don't have to do it anymore, because I am afraid for rights lol, 🤣🤣
Hey mate. What’s the camera you used here? Planning to go to bangkok and looking to invest on a gimbal camera or action camera
From thís vdo, i saw the view, i heard siren (ambulance) cleary from 88 th floor, i feel have to see Die hard 1 , i already have its DVD, real DVD.
We where there a month ago...just way too crowded. Oh well.
When did you go. When I was there, there where not to many people.
I think u r wrong , in southeast asia the tallest building is Pitronas building in KL-Malaysia
Hmm, I dont think I said its the tallest building in South East Asia, its not even the tallest in Bangkok.
This building and all area belong to my friend Baiyoke family.
I was sure Four Seasons Kuala Lumpur is the tallest hotel in SE Asia, but it seems to be mixed-use so not on the list
Mahannakhon is also taller and indeed mixed use.
@@globaltravelmate Can't wait for One Bangkok to be completed. It's gonna change a lot on the list of the tallest buildings in Bkk and even SE Asia.
from the view it seems like this is the tallest building in bangkok
It's just a few meters lower then the King Power Mahanakhon and Magnolias River Front.
And the most beautiful in evening of Bangkok is TRAFFIC 😅.
Is it really the highest bar in bkk??
Is the bar in the mahanakhon not at 310m and then up the stairs gets you to 314m.
Looks cool though might have to add it to my plans in March
It is a minimum buffet. The only thing is that they have is the view. The buffet is not exceptional. It is average except for Peking Duck.You have to paid extra for the wine. Arriving after 8 PM and the offers are running out.
View point on this tower is more high
The viewpoint at the Mahanakhon is higher. at 314 meters.
😁🙏
Is there anything to eat halal?
