The Roof (Bangkok)
Closer
to the ground, but with views no less mes-
merising, the rooftop bar and restaurant of Sala
Rattanakosin Bangkok, a luxury boutique hotel with
17 guest rooms lies opposite the picturesque Wat
Arun (Temple of Dawn) along the Chao Phraya River.
The Roof bar and lounge provides the ideal setting for
unwinding from a long day of sightseeing as daylight
gives way to romance under the stars.

KU DÉ TA (Bangkok)
You
may be more acquainted with Singapore’s
KU DÉ TA atop the iconic Marina Bay Sands
SkyPark and the commercially unrelated Bali
establishment which carries a similar name, but
the spin-off by the former’s owners in the City
of Angels proffered Bangkok’s elite yet another
place to see and be seen in. Housed on the 39th
and 40
th
floors of the Sathorn Square Building,
the mostly-indoors anthology of restaurants, bar
and club serves a wide array of Japanese fare,
including handcrafted cocktails at Ku Bar using
ingredients from and inspired by the Land of the
Rising Sun.

Lantern (Singapore)
The
Fullerton Bay Hotel’s swanky
rooftop bar flanks a massive 25-metre
pool and affords guests sweeping vistas
of the Marina Bay waterfront. A lush
tropical ambience sets the tone for
evenings where you can just let your
hair down and groove to live sensual
Latin singing. The bar was christened
after its location’s original Chinese
name – Red Lantern Pier – where
red lanterns were erected to guide
Singapore’s first seafaring immigrants
safely to land.
