Whether you're wandering its streets and alleys or cruising its canals, the heat in Bangkok can wear you down. Thanks to two spectacular aeries you can end those sticky tropical afternoons with a breezy night high above the city in two special bar restaurants: Mezzaluna on top of the lebua at the State Tower (lebua.com) and the Bertigo Restaurant and Moon Bar atop the Banyan Tree Bangkok (banyantree.com). Both places are great for catching a meal, a drink and the best panaramic view in the city.

Mezzaluna offers an almost cinematic grand entrance to their patrons as they come off the elevator and find themselves immediately on a catwalk over the restaurant that leads to the bar. Mezzaluna is part of The Dome at lebua, a top fine dining destination with five different bars and restaurants. Now headed by the twin chefs Thomas and Mathias Suhring. Mezzaluna's menu is redesigned on a daily basis. Vertigo, located on the 61st floor of the Banyan Tree Bangkok has the feel of the top deck of a cruise ship with its multi-tiered floor suggesting a bow and a stern separated by a midships.
