As soon as we stepped onto the 46th floor of T-One Building on Soi Sukhumvit 40, we knew that this rooftop bar would be a hit—and we were right. Tichuca initially opened in December 2020 but, unfortunately, had to close down when the government imposed restrictions on bars and entertainment venues a few months later. With those restrictions now lifted, Tichuca has started welcoming guests craving an after-hours escapade after months spent in lockdown.
The bar features tropical decor—greenery, bar and tables made of wood—which is nothing new for Bangkok. A massive “tree” composed of shining polychromatic LED lights, however, is what puts Tichuca in a different league. Looming over the bar, it can be set to bathe the entire place in one color or to light up the rooftop venue in luminescent pastels.
Serving booze is still taboo, so on our visit we were treated to delicious mocktails based on Tichuca’s signature alcoholic drinks. Cosmo Mary (B240) is the hybrid adaptation of the Cosmopolitan and Bloody Mary, while Yuzu Colada (B260) is a new take on the piña colada, but flavored with the Japanese citrus fruit. Coco Spritzer (B260) blends coconut water and jackfruit for a sweet, low-key drink, and the coffee-infused Berries Cold Brew Tonic (B240) is perfect if you’d like a shot of caffeine. Food isn’t a priority for Tichuca right now but a few small bites are available for order.
Try to get a table during dusk so you can have both the brilliant colors of the sunset and the LED tree as a backdrop.
