How much does the Mahanakhon SkyWalk cost?

As of 2026, tickets for the indoor and outdoor observation decks are approximately ฿880 per adult. The glass tray experience on the 78th floor outdoor deck is included in this price. Prices change periodically - check the official King Power website or Tiqets before booking.

Is the Mahanakhon SkyWalk worth it?

If you want Bangkok's best 360-degree panorama and the glass-floor experience, yes. On a clear evening the view stretches from the Gulf of Thailand to the northern suburbs. The rooftop bar is genuinely good for a sundowner. Budget travellers may find the price high relative to other Bangkok viewpoints.

Which BTS station is closest to Mahanakhon?

Chong Nonsi BTS station on the Silom Line. From there it is a 5-minute walk following the signs for King Power Mahanakhon. The building is impossible to miss - it's the one that looks like a pixelated skyscraper.

Do I need to book in advance?

Advance booking is recommended, especially on weekends and public holidays when the observation deck sells out. Booking through Tiqets or the official site also means you can choose a timed slot, avoiding the longest queues.

Mahanakhon SkyWalk Tickets | The Thailand Guides

At 314 metres, King Power Mahanakhon is Bangkok’s tallest building, and its SkyWalk observation deck is the most dramatic viewpoint in the city. The combination of indoor gallery, outdoor rooftop, and glass-floor tray - with the Bangkok skyline stretching in every direction - makes it one of the few paid attractions in the city that genuinely justifies the price. Here is everything you need to know before you go.

Tickets and prices

As of 2026, the standard adult ticket costs approximately ฿880 and covers:

72nd floor indoor observation deck (Edge) with panoramic windows, seating, and exhibits
74th floor outdoor rooftop with open-air 360-degree views
Glass tray experience on the outdoor floor - a 3-metre transparent glass section you walk on at 300+ metres

Discounts apply for children under 100 cm (free) and children 100–140 cm (approximately 50% off). Verified pricing is available at the official King Power Mahanakhon site before you book.

You can book Mahanakhon SkyWalk tickets through Tiqets to lock in a timed entry slot and skip the on-site queue.

The glass tray - what to expect

The glass tray is the headline feature. It is a recessed section of the outdoor deck with a transparent floor, giving an unobstructed view 300 metres straight down to Sathorn Road below. You step onto it, you look down, and Bangkok traffic looks like toy cars. Most people find it exhilarating rather than terrifying - the glass is thick structural safety glass, not a novelty - but anyone with a serious fear of heights may want to skip it.

Staff are on hand to photograph you on the tray; a single printed photo is available for purchase separately.

The rooftop bar

The 77th floor hosts The Bar at Mahanakhon, which operates in the evenings (roughly 17:00–midnight, verify current hours before visiting). Entry to the bar requires a paid observation deck ticket or a minimum spend.

Cocktails run approximately ฿400–700, beers from ฿300. Sunset is the peak crowd time - arrive by 17:30 if you want a seat facing west. The bar gets busy on weekends and with private events; on quiet weeknights it is genuinely relaxed and the views from table level are better than you expect.

Opening hours

Daily 10:00–24:00 (last admission 23:00) as of 2026. Hours may change on public holidays - always confirm on the official site before your visit.

Getting there

By BTS Skytrain: The fastest option. Take the Silom Line to Chong Nonsi station (S3), exit 3. King Power Mahanakhon is a 5-minute walk south along Narathiwas Road. The building’s distinctive pixelated facade is visible from the station.

By MRT: The nearest MRT stop is Lumphini on the Blue Line, about a 15-minute walk. BTS is quicker.

By taxi: Tell the driver “King Power Mahanakhon” - every driver in Bangkok knows it. From Siam, expect approximately ฿80–120 depending on traffic. From Sukhumvit Soi 11, approximately ฿120–160.

By tuk-tuk: Possible from the riverside or Silom area for roughly ฿100–150 for a short hop, but BTS is faster and cooler.

Skip-the-line tips

Book timed slots in advance through the official site or Tiqets - weekends sell out
Arrive at opening (10:00) for the clearest daytime visibility and minimum crowds
For sunset, aim for arrival 30–45 minutes before golden hour - the outdoor deck and bar fill up fast
The glass tray closes in heavy rain or strong winds; the indoor deck stays open

What else is in the building

The base of King Power Mahanakhon houses King Power Mahanakhon CUBE - a duty-free and lifestyle shopping complex with restaurants, a food hall, and a cinema on lower floors. If you are visiting in the early evening, arrival for dinner at one of the ground-floor restaurants before heading up for sunset is an efficient use of time.

Combining with other Bangkok viewpoints

Mahanakhon is the best single viewpoint in Bangkok, but if you want a comparison:

Lebua State Tower (Sirocco rooftop bar): dress code required, drinks expensive, no observation deck
Vertigo at Banyan Tree: outdoor rooftop bar, good views, approximately same price for drinks
Baiyoke Tower II: older building, lower, less impressive - skip in favour of Mahanakhon
