This was our first visit to Octave, but definitely won’t be our last. We arrived around 5:30pm at the 45th floor, which is below the 49th floor rooftop shown in the picture, but had phenomenal views nonetheless. Though we did not have a reservation, the hostess graciously seated my wife and I in a prime location, after removing a ‘Reserved’ sign from the table. We ordered our drinks from the happy-hour list, and found their ‘Land of Smiles’ cocktail to taste like a delicious pina colada. The weather was perfect and the sky formed a dramatic background for the pictures high above Bangkok that our server insisted on taking. We went on to order chicken tikka and Australian beef skewers, which formed the core of a tasty dinner. All told, we spent about two hours at the Octave. Before we left we took the elevator to the roof to check out that level. While the views were unobstructed and the circular bar stylish, we were happy with our choice of the rather sedate space we had. To get to the Octave, take the Skytrain to Thonglor station, exit 3. Keep heading east from the base of the station steps, but be very careful crossing Soi 55. We waited until some locals crossed, and followed them. The Marriott is at the beginning of the next Soi (57). The elevators to Octave are hidden around a corner on the left side of the lobby.

Special coktails with 360o panoramic view of the city Bangkok at 49th floor. The best roof bar!!!
