Baiyoke Sky Tower, Bangkok, Thailand

Since we like skyscrapers and viewing platforms we went to the Baiyoke Sky Hotel during our stay in Bangkok.

There are three floors open to the public.

Tickets can be bought on the ground floor and cost 600 THB (ca. 15 Euro or ca. 19 USD) for two.

Downstairs photographs are taken of the visitors before an express lift whisks up guests to the 77th floor.

Beside stunning panorama views over Bangkok and sometimes even to the Gulf of Siam there is also an exhibition of the "old" Thailand.

Another set of lifts goes up to the 83rd floor, where a bar is located and steps lead up to the 84th floor.

The observation deck is rotating. It's interesting to see the skyline from an even higher vantage point, but wouldn't recommend it to people with walking difficulties or who have balance problems.

We will be definitely back next time round when in Bangkok. A very memorable experience and views.
