Tichuca Bangkok

Is Tichuca worth it?

Tichuca Bangkok is the party rooftop on top of the T-One Building: busy, loud and built for the photo, and the best start to a night in Thonglor. It's one of the city's best-sited dance terraces, with a younger, more dressed-up crowd than the classic hotel rooftops.

Get there at 5, take the photo at the tree, stay for the sunset, then move on to dinner. It's not a quiet cocktail lounge. Go for the energy.

Tanner's pick: first night in Bangkok with the boys? Start here, finish at a club table in Thonglor.

Which level at Tichuca is best?

Tichuca spreads over three floors of jungle-themed space from the 46th floor of the T-One Building, with greenery, wooden furniture and 360-degree views. The tree deck is the photo. The higher decks have the view.

Insider tip: the upper terrace is the better one for photos, but it has no tables, only a narrow glass ledge. Grab the shot up there, then come back down to the tree to settle in.

Ask Tanner which deck suits a group your size.

How much does Tichuca cost?

Entering is free of charge, Tichuca's own FAQ says, and event nights are ticketed. Drinks are priced on the bar's own menu, plus service charge, and the bar takes cash, cards and QR payments.

Ask Tanner to have the first round waiting when you get up there.

Do you need to book Tichuca?

It's 20 or over only. Foreign guests need an original passport: copies, photos and digital versions are turned away, and every bag is checked at the door.

There are no reservations for small groups: Tichuca only accepts walk-ins, its own FAQ says. Arrive at 5pm for a buzzer, then wait nearby until it goes off. The Tichuca Bangkok dress code is relaxed: sneakers and a nice tee are fine. Most people still dress up for the photos.

Insider tip: the lift in the T-One Building only goes to the 40th floor. You change to a second lift for the last few floors, so allow a few minutes.

Ask Tanner to have our host in the queue before you arrive.

When should you go to Tichuca Bangkok?

Go at 5pm for the sunset: Tichuca Bangkok opens at 5pm daily and runs till late, its own FAQ says. The DJs build from sunset chill to a full floor by about 10pm.

For the sunset and the photo, come at 5. For the party, come after 9. Event nights are ticketed and change the picture, so ask Tanner what's on.

It's an open-air rooftop, so weather matters. Our host checks on the day and moves your plan if the sky turns.

Ask Tanner what's on the night you land.

Tichuca or Octave?

Tichuca is the photo and a party crowd. Octave, a short ride away, is a 360-degree view with a seat.

Want the party? Tichuca. Want a seat? Octave. Ask Tanner which suits your group.

Getting there

Tichuca sits on top of the T-One Building at 8 Soi Sukhumvit 40, about 320 m from BTS Thong Lo.

From Siam or Asok, ride the BTS Sukhumvit Line east to Thong Lo and walk. With a group, a van to the lobby is easier, and it's waiting when you come down. After sunset, the Thonglor bars and clubs are a short ride away: see our Thonglor guide and the full Bangkok nightlife guide.

Ask Tanner to have the van at the T-One lobby for 7.

Your evening, planned

Sunset at Tichuca, dinner in Thonglor, then your own table at a club.

Your car waits at the T-One Building, and our host has your name on the list at the next stop. For the bar run after, see our best bars in Bangkok. Getting around is the luxury van for up to 4, from ฿6,500 for 10 hours.

Plan it with Tanner.
