Vertigo and Moon Bar (The 360-Degree Classic)

For a sophisticated "movie-star" feeling on Christmas, go to Vertigo at the Banyan Tree. This was one of the first rooftop bars in the world to utilize a completely open-air platform with no walls or roofs blocking your view. The result is an unobstructed 360-degree panorama of the Sathorn business district's glittering skyscrapers. It is quieter and more romantic than Tichuca, making it perfect for couples.

How to get there (Taxi):

• Tell the driver: "Banyan Tree Hotel, Sathorn" (Rong-raem Banyan Tree).
• Nearest Landmark: Lumphini Park.

Tip: Sathorn Road has heavy traffic. You can take the MRT Subway to Lumphini Station and take a quick 5-minute taxi or Grab from there.
