Baiyoke Tower II Observatory and Revolving Roofdeck
Head to the Baiyoke Tower II Observatory and Revolving Roofdeck to secure your spot. The walk from the anchor is long, so arrive early to beat the queue and find a railing facing WSW.
17:18
Walk down two minutes to Indra Square. Grab a drink or snack here. It is open and close enough to keep you warm before the descent.
18:08
Baiyoke Tower II Observatory and Revolving Roofdeck
Be back at the Revolving Roofdeck. The sun sets toward the WSW, aligning perfectly with the view from this height. Watch the sky turn gold.
18:38
Walk nine minutes down to Go-Ang Pratunam Chicken Rice. It is open late and perfect for a post-sunset meal. The line is always long, but the famous chicken rice moves quickly.
Local tip
The walk between Indra Square and the tower is short, but the initial walk from the MRT station to the tower base is significant. Use the escalators inside the mall to reach the observatory efficiently.
