The Mahanakhon SkyWalk Bangkok with kids
Located in the heart of Bangkok, the King Power Mahanakhon is one of the most iconic skyscrapers in Thailand. With its impressive height (78 storey/314 meters) and modern architecture, this building attracts attention.
What makes the King Power Mahanakhon truly special is the glass platform at a height of 310 meters (!) that gives visitors the sensation of floating above the city. As you walk across the glass floor, you can look straight down and feel the depth below you.
In addition to the breathtaking views, the King Power Mahanakhon also offers a number of interactive exhibits that give visitors more insight into Bangkok’s history and culture. You can learn more about the city’s rich heritage, explore iconic landmarks and learn more about local traditions and customs.

The experience begins in the elevator, which is known for its speed and modern video theme.

You can feel the excitement as you are taken at high speed to the observatory on the 74th floor.

Once you arrive on the 74th floor, you enter the observatory, called an indoor observation hall. Here a breathtaking panoramic view of Bangkok awaits you.
If you thought the elevator will be the highlight for the kids, you’re wrong! On the 74th floor you will find the “Interactive Augmented Reality experience” and “Dynamic interactive touch screens. I find it hard to explain exactly what it is: a kind of real-life snapchat filter on large TV screens. Our kids loved it and thought it might be the highlight of Bangkok 😉

It feels very unnatural, but it is an unforgettable experience. In any case, the kids will love it; it’s nice to see that they know no fear yet and step onto the platform like that. Be sure to imitate your kids, and lie flat on your stomach for the ultimate experience 😉
Before you step onto the glass, you get some kind of “socks” around your shoes. In addition, you are not allowed to bring your phone or camera on the platform. However, the staff will gladly take your picture!

The Mahanakhon SkyWalk Bangkok with Kids – Practical Information
Opening Hours
The Mahanakhon SkyWalk is open daily from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. (last entry at 6:30 p.m.). A visit to the King Power Mahanakhon and the SkyWalk is especially enchanting in the evening hours, when the city is illuminated by thousands of twinkling lights. As the sun sets and darkness falls, Bangkok’s skyline transforms into a mesmerizing display of colors. It is the perfect opportunity to take photos and enjoy the magical atmosphere of the city.
However, we chose to go as early as possible to avoid the crowds and long queues. Early mornings or weekdays are often quieter and leave you more time and space to enjoy the view. So decide what your preference is!

Tickets can be purchased online at the official website, as well as simply at the box office. If you go during sunset or high season, make sure you have purchased tickets in advance.
In 2022, we paid 880 Thai baht per adult and 250 baht for children between the ages of 3 and 15. Children under three are free. Note that if you visit the Mahanakhon after 3:30 p.m., there is a higher fee for adults (1080 baht).
