We bought our tickets online through the official homepage, which is something I’d definitely recommend. That way we could totally skip the main queue inside the building and could head straight through. We had to store our bags downstairs, which is free, and also you’re not allowed to use any tripods up there. I was allowed to bring my DSLR camera with me and also use my Gimbal, but I asked the team beforehand through their social media and confirmed the use of the Gimbal right then and there.
Then we passed an area where you could get some photos taken before we headed to the lift. It takes you up incredibly quickly and then you step onto the first area (The 74th floor) – this part is completely inside with a windowfront allowing breathtaking views over Bangkok.
From here you take an escalator up to another area, from where you can either walk up or take another lift to the top floor. And that part truly is stunning! There’s a bar, a glass floor and an even higher area with seats.
The main highlight of the King Power Mahanakhon Sky Walk is undoubtedly the awe-inspiring 360-degree panoramic views it offers of the sprawling city below. The glass-floored observation deck provides a unique perspective, allowing brave souls to step onto the transparent floor and feel the cityscape beneath their feet. You have to wear shoe protection and you’re not allowed to bring your phone or camera onto the glass floor. So, if you want photos of you on there, you need someone to stand behind the line and take them.
We headed there for the sunset and this was the best decision ever - Bangkok is just truly stunning from above!
