There’s no better way to soak in views of Bangkok’s skyline than at one of the city’s rooftop bars. And while most usually don’t come cheap (we had to pay B800 for a Singha beer in one of the more popular addresses), there are places where you can feel like you’re on top of the world for less. Make a beeline for these loftily located bars where bird’s-eye views don’t necessarily mean sky-high tabs.
