The interiors of Cloud 36, a rooftop bar by riverside Bangkok

Sunset in Bangkok hits differently when you are watching it slip behind the mighty Chao Phraya River. The river bends, the long-tail boats keep moving, and the city lights flick on one by one across the skyline. That is the stunning moment a great rooftop bar riverside in Bangkok delivers, and it is exactly what guests find at Cloud 36 at Chatrium Hotel Riverside Bangkok.

As home to one of the city's most distinctive riverside hotel rooftop bar experiences in Bangkok, our hotel also pairs this sky-high venue with a full collection of dining concepts. Below, we walk through Cloud 36 as the centrepiece, then take you through the wider food and drink line-up at Chatrium Hotel Riverside Bangkok.

Cloud 36, Bangkok's Epic Rooftop Bar Above the Chao Phraya

A view of the Chao Phraya river during day time with a boat zooming by

Cloud 36, a beloved rooftop bar in riverside Bangkok, sits perched above the Chao Phraya on the 36th floor of our hotel. The bar offers a true 360-degree panorama, where you can watch the river traffic on one side and the city skyline glow on the other. As a rooftop bar at a riverside hotel in Bangkok with Chao Phraya views, this is the kind of vantage point you simply cannot get from a venue tucked into the city centre. Water, light and skyline meet in one wide-open frame.

The drinks concept is Spirits of the Orient. Cocktails are built around premium spirits, Asian herbs, spices and seasonal fruits, joined by a wine, champagne and zero-proof selection. Each drink takes its cue from an iconic Asian neighbourhood. For instance, the Charoen Krung Road blends gin infused with lemongrass and starfruit, lifted by triple sec, lemon and grapefruit bitters. The Yaowarat Mule channels Chinatown with bourbon infused with goji berry and honey galangal, finished with lime and ginger beer. The Kombu Margarita brings Japanese flair through mezcal infused with kombu seaweed, apricot liqueur, yuzu and a hint of wasabi spray. Each glass tells a story, best enjoyed with the skyline as your backdrop.

By day, Cloud 36 turns into a sky-high lounge for Afternoon Tea, featuring Cantonese dim sum, scones and pastries from the Michelin-starred chefs at Silver Waves by Boon, served with TWG teas. From late afternoon into the evening, the room shifts mood again. On selected evenings, live music and guest shifts add extra energy to the night.

It works for plenty of occasions. Sundowners with friends, after-dinner drinks once you have eaten downstairs, a date night with something a little more memorable, or a corporate social where the view does the heavy lifting. As a rooftop bar by riverside Bangkok with a Chao Phraya river view, Cloud 36 is open daily from 16:00 to 01:00.*
