Recommendations for sky-view fancy/romantic restaurants in Bangkok?

Sirocco at Lebua is the obvious one everyone knows, but if you want something a bit more understated with great Thai food, try Supanniga Eating Room on Charoen Krung. The river view from their rooftop is lovely and the food is proper Thai, not the watered-down stuff. For a truly special night, book the terrace table at The Penthouse Bar+ Grill on the 34th floor of the Marriott, the steaks are excellent and the city panorama is hard to beat.

sure, if u want a solid view without the insane price tag of lebua, try mahanakhon skybar. it's on the roof of the king power mahanakhon tower, drinks are pricey but not ridiculous, and the open-air deck is stunning at sunset. for food with that view, go to the rooftop restaurant there, the standard. booking is a must, especially for a weekend evening

Try the rooftop at Scarlett Wine Bar & Restaurant in the Pullman G Hotel. It's got a great view over the city and the vibe is more of a chilled date spot with good food, not as flashy as the big-name places.

Krua Dok Mai Kao is solid but I've always found their som tam a bit tame on the pla ra. If you want the real funky version, try the shophouse spots along Soi Udomsuk 26, near the night market end. They pound it fresh with fermented fish that'll clear your sinuses, and it's like 60 baht. Different style from the On Nut places, more Lao-leaning.

for som tam specifically i'd say the Isaan spots in Chatuchak are underrated, weekdays only though since the weekend crowd ruins the vibe. there's a stall near gate 2 that does tam pa with fermented bamboo shoots, super sour and funky, not something you see much in On Nut. if you're already heading north for Or Tor Kor anyway its worth the detour.

honestly the som tam at Krua Dok Mai Kao is good but what got me hooked is their nam prik pla raa dip with the raw veggies, that funk hits way harder than the papaya does. think most people sleep on it cuz they just order the som tam and gai yang. also pro tip, go before noon on weekdays, after that teh pla ra gets milder cuz they batch it for the lunch rush
