Bangkok: Baiyoke Observation Deck with Lunch/Dinner Buffet

Experience the Height of Bangkok with Baiyoke Observation Deck and Buffet

Imagine stepping into one of Bangkok’s tallest buildings, the Baiyoke Sky Hotel, and being greeted by sweeping views of the city from the 77th and 84th floors. For just $24 per person, you get a 2-hour dining experience featuring a buffet of international, Thai, seafood, and more, along with access to the Observation Deck and Revolving View Point. Whether you’re a foodie keen on sampling diverse dishes or an adventurer eager to see Bangkok from above, this experience offers a compelling mix of culinary delight and visual spectacle.

What we particularly appreciate is how the buffet highlights seafood specialties, sushi, salads, and even interactive stations like stir-fried dishes and Teppanyaki—perfect for those who love a broad selection. Plus, afterward, the 360-degree revolving viewpoint on the 84th floor offers some of the most breathtaking city panoramas you can find in Bangkok — all while sitting comfortably at a height that makes everything look like a miniature cityscape.

A potential consideration is the time limit of 1.5 hours for the buffet—if you’re a slow eater or want to linger over your views, you might find the schedule a little tight. But for most visitors, the combination of good food and spectacular sights makes up for it. This tour is especially well-suited to travelers craving a convenient, all-in-one experience that combines a remarkable view with a satisfying meal—perfect for first-timers or those wanting to tick off the Bangkok skyline in style.
