What to Expect at Mahanakhon Skywalk

One of the highlights of Mahanakhon Skywalk is the elevator ride itself. When it’s time to ride, you’ll be ushered in small groups to the high-speed elevator. It’s spotlessly modern, well-lit, and efficiently managed by staff ensuring order and safety. As soon as the doors close, a 360-degree multimedia show begins, turning all four walls, including the ceiling, into a digital canvas. You'll feel like you're blasting through the clouds, passing by temples, skyscrapers, and street scenes, all within the elevator. It climbs to the 74th floor in under 50 seconds, making it one of the fastest elevators in Thailand. As the elevator doors open, you’re suddenly 734 feet above the streets of Bangkok. The contrast between the chaotic city below and the serene atmosphere of the observation deck is striking.

The indoor observation deck on the 74th floor offers floor-to-ceiling glass windows for uninterrupted views of Bangkok. On a clear day, you can see all the way to the Chao Phraya River, the Grand Palace, and even distant mountain ranges. There are helpful graphics on the windows that show you what you’re looking at, offering insights into the neighbourhoods below. All this is set within a climate-controlled space, making it equally enjoyable by day or after dark. It’s a surreal way to grasp the sheer size and diversity of the city. To enhance the experience, the deck features interactive digital touchscreens and telescopes that identify landmarks and share cultural insights. It’s perfect for curious travelers and families who want to learn more about what they’re looking at. 

The most thrilling part of the Skywalk is the Glass Tray on the 78th floor. Suspended 310 meters above the ground, this clear glass platform lets you walk—or crawl—right out over the city, giving you the dizzying sensation of “walking on air”. You can take the dedicated escalator or the exciting hydraulic glass lift from the 75th floor for a quick ride to the 78th floor, emerging into an unobstructed panorama of Bangkok’s skyline. For many, the glass tray is the most adrenaline-charged part of the experience—look down if you dare and snap a photo that makes it seem as though you’re floating above Bangkok’s swirling streets. Staff are always present to supervise and reassure. Before stepping on, guests must wear protective shoe covers and follow staff instructions for safety.

This is the highest point open to the public in Thailand. Lean against the crystal-clear railing, feel the wind, and take in 360-degree vistas extending to the horizon. The view, especially at sunset, is both humbling and exhilarating—a viewpoint few city attractions in Asia can rival. From this height, visitors can observe the sprawling cityscape blending modern skyscrapers with historic neighbourhoods, all bathed in the warm glow of fading daylight. The fresh breeze and expansive panorama make The Peak a must-visit spot for those seeking a memorable and peaceful moment high above the bustling streets below. Whether during the day or evening, this vantage point offers stunning photo opportunities and a unique perspective on the city’s vibrant life.
