Important information:
- The SkyWorX ticket at 350 THB doesn't include the observation deck. This is a digital experience on the fourth floor only. The cheapest ticket that includes going up to floor 78 is the day ticket at 1,000 THB.
- The sunset ticket is valid for entry between 16:01 and 19:00, and the day ticket between 10:00 and 16:00. These are tickets for different hours, not tiers of the same ticket.
- and this also applies to the three packages. for each package, tilt, meal, and drink, there's two versions: One for the morning and noon hours, and one for the afternoon and sunset, and the more expensive one in each pair is the sunset one. the difference is exactly 200 THB in each one, and the two times are predefined: The day version 10:00–16:00, and the sunset version 16:01–19:00. Those planning a morning visit need the cheap version, the expensive one isn't valid then.
- The glass floor isn't for everyone. Those who suffer from fear of heights will feel it there, they can stay on the opaque part of the observation deck.
- I-Tilt It's a tilting device that tilts visitors over the edge of the building. It's included only in the tilt packages.
- in the meal packages, it's about a voucher worth 200 THB, and not a full meal.
what's up there
floor 78, and a floor you can see through
MahaNakhon's observation deck sits in Floor 78, and the part because of which people come to it is the glass floor, a transparent surface that extends over the edge of the building, and whoever stands on it sees the street directly beneath their feet.
next to the glass floor there is an open observation deck on the roof, which is the highest of its kind in Thailand, and a bar on floor 74 which you enter with the drink package.

the bar on floor 74
included only in the drink packages.
SkyWorX
A digital experience on floor 4. is also sold separately, in which case there's no observation deck.
Which ticket to choose
the difference between the cheapest and the most expensive is 1,150 THB
If you only want the observation deck, the day ticket at 1,000 THB it's the cheapest one that includes it.
If you're aiming for sunset over Bangkok, the sunset ticket at 1,200 Valid for entry between 16:01 and 19:00 and also includes a digital photo. This is the requested hour, so it's worth booking in advance.
The packages each add one thing: I-Tilt the tilting device, the drink package a drink on floor 74, and the meal package A voucher of 200 THB. Each one has a day version that's 200 THB cheaper and doesn't include a digital photo.
and what you shouldn't mistakenly bring: the SkyWorX ticket at 350 THB. It isn't cheap, it's simply a different attraction, on floor 4, without the observation deck.
When to arrive
sunset is the most requested hour
the most requested hour is around sunset, when the city transitions from daylight to night lighting, and that's exactly the reason there's a separate ticket for the 16:01–19:00 window.
During daytime hours the view is brighter and clearer, and the observation deck is less crowded. Those coming mainly for the glass floor and photos, the day works great and costs 200 THB less.
the building, and why it looks like this
the pixels aren't decoration
MahaNakhon tower was inaugurated in 2016 and rises to a height of about314 meters across 78 floors. It was the tallest building in Thailand until 2018, and is still one of the most recognizable on Bangkok's skyline.
what distinguishes it is the spiral cut that runs across its face, a strip of offset blocks that looks as if pixels were pulled out of the structure. The design is by German architect Ole Scheeren, and the intent was to create a "river" that climbs around the tower.
These blocks aren't just decorative, they create Private balconies in the apartments and hotel rooms in the tower.
the tower sits in the area Silom-Sathorn, the heart of Bangkok's business district, and directly connected to the Chong Nonsi light rail station.
The transparent floor: what is it really
and who doesn't need to go up
the transparent floor is a tempered glass panel which is embedded in the rooftop terrace. You stand on it, and below you see the street directly, from a height of over 310 meters.
It isn't large, a few square meters, and there's a line for it during busy hours. the venue's staff limits the number of people who stand on it simultaneously.
those who suffer from fear of heights Will feel it here more strongly than at any other observation deck in Bangkok, because there's no barrier between the eye and the street. You can bypass it and stay on the regular terrace.
High heels are prohibited on the glass, and you must take them off or wear a cover provided by the venue. This is a safety rule, not a recommendation.
The most requested time is around sunset, and that's also when the line is longest.
