what it's like at the top

Distil is definitely one of Bangkok's Must-Try Bars. Located at the 64th floor (the elevator was an ear-popping ride especially for sinus-challenged me), it shares the floor with Sirocco and Mezalluna. The view was breathtaking, and the ambience definitely worth the trip and make-up.

Separating Distil from Sirocco are glass walls and a glass door so we easily slipped into Sirocco to take in the view. Fortunately, it was not a rainy night so we had a 360 degree view of the city - although it had a grey tint since Bangkok's pollution never really clears up.

Distil had great music but expensive drinks. At 350+ for a martini, or 150+ for a cup of tea - it was insane - we must have paid for the view and the furniture. The resident DJ provided good music - not the kind that's too loud for Friday chit-chat, but loud enough to be appreciated by nodding your head to the beat.
