Sato San

What is it? A Japanese-style bar with an Isan twist, perched on the 32nd floor of Moxy Bangkok Ratchaprasong. The concept sounds odd on paper but somehow works brilliantly, blending restraint with a bit of mischief.

Why we love it: Japanese minimalism meets the joyful, slightly cheeky energy of Isan culture and the result feels genuinely different from the usual rooftop offerings. The bamboo archway's the standout feature. During the day it's subtle enough, but once it gets dark the whole thing lights up in vivid red and turns into quite the photo op. Seating splits across two sides depending on your mood. The DJ booth faces Ratchaprasong if you're after something livelier, while the Sukhumvit side's quieter and doubles as the smoking area for anyone wanting a slower pace. The kitchen follows the same cross-cultural approach with an Isan meets Japanese fusion menu – combinations that shouldn't work… but absolutely do.

Time Out Tip: Golden hour specials run during sunset with bites like salmon belly and drinks like Aperol spritz starting around B150 to B300.

32/F, Moxy Bangkok Ratchaprasong. Open daily 6pm-2am
