Best Places in Bangkok and Phuket for a Sundowner
"Bangkok definitely looks it’s best from high up, and The Loft at the Waldorf Astoria is here to prove so. Although the only spot on this list isn’t outdoors, the glitzy 56th-floor bar with floor-to-ceiling windows still does a good sunset justice. You’ll bask in extreme views of the city with bustling Siam Square below and a partial view of the Chao Phraya River and Wat Phu Khao Thong (The Golden Mount) in the distance, all of which is even more impressive as the sun peaks away behind the horizon. Looks and views aside, it’s bartender Michele Montauti, who steals the show with tipples based off The Old Waldorf Astoria Bar Book, written in 1935. Find a seat at the window and sip on The Waldorf, which mixes Michter’s Bourbon with Thai basil, Mancino sweet vermouth, chocolate bitters, coriander and maple, as the sprawling capital gets cast in shades of orange." - Veronica Inveen
