The Drink Rooftop Bar

Our take

An eighth-floor pool deck at the Vince where retro styling meets funk and soul on the speakers, Baiyoke looms as the token skyscraper, and a hundred-odd drink options run from Thai craft beers to cocktails built on local OTOP spirits. It's a shopper's decompression chamber more than a destination, and it knows it. After a day at Platinum Mall, it's exactly enough.

Insider tip

Weekends add live folk sets in the early evening — the sweet spot between daytime pool calm and night mode — and the two-for-one window lands right on sunset. Come up in your shopping bag; nobody minds.
