Bangkok Balcony Premium
Sky Box Private Zone Version
Hello,
Baiyoke Sky Hotel is not only a popular choice for accommodation among both Thai and international tourists who want to enjoy stunning views of Bangkok from the highest hotel rooms in Thailand, but it is also a top destination for foodies seeking a diverse range of culinary delights with breathtaking panoramic views of the city. The hotel boasts a variety of restaurants, each with its own unique charm. This review will focus on the Bangkok Balcony restaurant on the 81st floor, specifically the Bangkok Balcony Premium. To see what makes it so special, watch the special video from 3 Sa Pa Saep, followed by a detailed photo review by Doe. Let's take a look!
As mentioned, the hotel has over ten restaurants, offering a wide variety of options. For this meal, we will be heading to the Bangkok Balcony on the 81st floor.
The restaurant contact point will be located on the lobby floor (18th floor), separated from the tour groups, which will be arranged on another floor, providing excellent privacy. And I must say that the Bangkok Balcony restaurant does not accept any tour groups. So you can say goodbye to the worries of chaos.
The Bangkok Balcony Premium is a special outdoor area located on four corners of the building: North Balcony, South Balcony, East Balcony, and West Balcony. This exclusive area prioritizes privacy and is accessible only to premium service users.
Enhancing the exclusivity, the space is limited to only 20 guests per corner. The recommended corner is the south corner, offering stunning views of the sunset, the towering skyscrapers of Thailand's major business district, and the graceful curve of the Chao Phraya River. This corner captures the essence of Bangkok, providing an unparalleled experience.
For the Bangkok Balcony Premium, meals are served in sets with dedicated staff providing attentive service throughout. Here is the extensive menu of dishes that will be served.
This is a paragraph with a simple and short sentence.
Before the meal begins, please enjoy a complimentary glass of white or red wine.
Cold Appetizers
Roasted Beef, Parma Ham, Ham Leg, Liver Pâté, and Drunken Chicken are served as individual bites. The ingredients are of high quality and flavorful, demonstrating a good standard.
Hot Appetizers
This course features hot dishes such as Norwegian Salmon with Passion Fruit sauce, Scallop with Cafe de Paris sauce, and Prawn with Italian sauce. The focus is on fresh seafood, with generous portion sizes and flavorful sauces. The overall standard is high.
‘Sashimi’
Fresh, high-quality fish, cut into thick slices for a satisfying bite. Highly recommended.
Caesar Salad
Fresh, crisp vegetables tossed in a flavorful Caesar dressing.
The soup options include Shark Fin Soup, Tom Yum Goong, and Lobster Bisque. I recommend the Shark Fin Soup, which features tender shark fin, generous crab meat, and a well-balanced flavor profile.
Baked Rice with Crab – The rice is well-fried and seasoned, topped with large crab claws. Recommended.
Steamed Rice with Seafood & Chili Fish Sauce – The rice is well-fried with a mild aroma, not too strong. Recommended.
Spaghetti Carbonara – The pasta is cooked to perfection and seasoned with a familiar creamy flavor. Standard.
Spaghetti with Tomato Sauce – The pasta is cooked to perfection and the sauce is a classic sweet and sour tomato flavor. A good standard.
New Zealand Mussel Pancake with Pad Thai – This dish features freshly fried, large New Zealand mussels with a crispy texture and a flavorful seasoning. The mussels are served on top of a bed of chewy Pad Thai noodles that are stir-fried to perfection, resulting in a delicious and satisfying combination. Highly recommended.
Choose between **Sliced Ribeye Beef in Waterfall Soup** or **Pork Nam Tok Soup**. Both options feature thinly sliced meat for a tender texture. The generous portion size ensures a satisfying bite. However, the key highlight of this dish is the flavorful and aromatic broth, boasting a rich and authentic taste. Highly recommended.
‘Jumbo River Prawn’
Large, fresh river prawns, split in half and cooked to perfection. The prawns are seasoned with a rich and familiar Thai sauce. Highly recommended.
Grilled Seafood Set
This set includes rock lobster, scallop, blue crab, New Zealand mussel, Pacific white shrimp, and Areola Babylon. All seafood is fresh and clean, with good texture. The accompanying seafood dipping sauce is flavorful and well-made.

Dessert of the Day
Freshly made daily, our selection of desserts offers a variety of sweet treats to satisfy your cravings.

Top off your meal with fresh fruit and traditional Chinese desserts, accompanied by your choice of coffee, tea, or ginger tea.
The food set will be served to you by the staff. If you are still hungry after finishing the set, you can walk inside to continue enjoying the international buffet, which is normally limited to 2 hours. However, for customers of **Bangkok Balcony Premium**, you can enjoy unlimited time, from the restaurant opening at 5 pm until closing at 11 pm, a total of 6 hours.

Soups
The restaurant offers a wide variety of soups, including a seafood tom yum soup with unlimited toppings, a spicy waterfall soup with sliced rib-eye and pork, and a seafood hot pot egg custard. All soups are made fresh to order. The spicy waterfall soup and seafood hot pot egg custard are highly recommended, as they are packed with flavor.
Dessert
A wide variety of fruits and desserts, both Thai and foreign. However, the most outstanding are probably the Thai desserts such as sticky rice with durian and mango sticky rice.
The price of food does not include drinks, but with such a beautiful view and such a full meal, it would be a big mistake not to order your favorite drink to go with it.
