Sirocco Roof Bar Restaurant, The Dome State Tower, Bangkok
I have no idea how the hell I missed this place! I think I’m going to have to go back to Sirocco just to dine alfresco on the sixty-third floor of Bangkok’s second tallest building! The venue wasn’t meant to be just another roof bar or restaurant but a venue for elegant atmosphere or something along these lines.
It first opened in the winter of 2003, completely reviving the dying Bangkok dining scene in many ways. This was the first of the Dome’s venues, and obviously generated a lot of buzz! I’m presuming that the biggest reason for this was simply because people were very curious to see the view from the one of the tallest buildings in Bangkok, 2nd but it does have the highest outdoor balcony.
The Sirocco roof bar restaurant is pretty breathtaking jutting into the skyline of the city like the deck of a space ship with the entrancing glow of the Sky Bar.
But I’ve since been told that more than the view Sirocco is even better for it’s food. Sirocco’s astonishing atmosphere is a complement to its excellent cuisine, not a replacement for it.
To add to this the Sirocco bar is also one of Bangkok’s best live jazz venues. Sirocco feature international performers six nights a week!
If you want to visit one of the best restaurants and bars in Bangkok and don’t mind spending a little extra give it a visit at 1055 Silom Road, Bangrak, Bangkok 10500. There are two entrances to the building and plenty of free parking if you dare to drive. Alternatively call them on +66 (2) 624-9555 and get them to give the directions to your taxi driver 😉

Hi Alex, I’d like to go here for dinner in Bangkok when my parents visit from the states… I’ve not heard anything about it but you make it sound like a great place to be – will hopefully impress the parents that Thailand is not just a place for pedophiles and drunk retirees! I’m afraid that’s what they think right now. Thanks for the tip. I’ll read more of your blog. If you like, we can swap links in blogroll. Just let me know… 🙂 Vern

Dear All,
Did some research and found out that the Sirocco (meditterranean cuisine) is the world’s largest all open air restaurant. It is located in the State Tower in Bangkok, Thailand. The restaurant opened its doors in the winter of 2003. The restaurant is located on the 63rd floor of State Tower, it features amazing views of Chao Praya River and the Bangkok city.
From their websites it would seem the ‘Tower’ also houses a hotel and other bars and restaurants on various floors, with the Sirocco being the main draw.
The Thai have a penchant for roof top venues and the latter website lists a few more great ‘places in the sky’ to visit.
Here are the details, enjoy x
981 Silom Road, Bangrak, Bangkok 10500, Thailand

Amazing view, yes that looks like a place not to be missed. I believe that is the # 1 or #2 roof top restaurants that was ranked on another travel website, forgot the name.

Looks like it’s worth a meal up there just to take in the view.

You really have good views from up there. Food is a little expensive though. There are some other great restaurants in Bangkok although none of them has the views. What do you prefer? The food or the views?

I imagine is has to be so high to escape the traffic fumes. Bangkok is one of the most traffic congested cities on the planet.
