You step out of the elevator and the city opens — concrete streets shrink into a pattern of lights and canals, and the Chao Phraya River threads the view like a bright vein.

Rooftop wind can feel cooler than ground level, so pack a light jacket even on warm days.

Stable footwear helps on observation decks and when stepping onto glass panels.
