Propose to the Love of Your Life in These Five Scenic Spots in Bangkok
When it comes to proposing to the love of your life, there is no single, fixed way of doing it. Marriage proposals are as special as they are personal and meaningful, but not something you should seriously overthink. While some prefer to propose at home or somewhere quiet like a secluded park, others propose in romantic, unique, and scenic areas or in locations that have a special meaning to the couple.
If you're thinking of where you can propose to your significant other in Bangkok, here are five spots you should consider!
Sirocco
Rooftop fine dining restaurant Sirocco, located on the 63rd floor of luxury hotel lebua at State Tower, is one of the most romantic and picturesque spots you can choose to propose to the love of your life! The setting already sets the mood for a proposal. As you emerge from the golden dome of lebua, you are met with a live jazz band and taken on a Mediterranean gastronomic journey by Sirocco's dedicated staff. Dine and propose to your love with a view of Bangkok's skyline and its glittering lights as your backdrop. Don't believe us? Sirocco has been regarded consistently as one of Thailand's best restaurants by Thailand Tatler and among Asia's leading hotel rooftop restaurants and bars by the World Travel Awards in 2020, among others.
Location: Sirocco Restaurant, 63rd Floor, State Tower Bangkok, 1055 Silom Road, Bangrak

Asiatique Sky Ferris Wheel
If you want a little bit of privacy but still have breathtaking views in your marriage proposal, the Ferris wheel at Asiatique Sky should be top of your list! Marvel at the beautiful night skyline of Bangkok 60 metres off the ground in one of the 40 gondolas of the Asiatique Ferris wheel. The Ferris wheel is open from 5 PM to midnight every day, with admission tickets priced at THB500. The VIP cabin, which is good for one to five people, will run you THB5,000.

King Power Mahanakhon Skywalk
The Mahanakhon Skywalk is one of the most iconic attractions in Bangkok for locals and tourists alike. Offering indoor and outdoor 360-degree panoramic views 314 metres off the ground, the Skywalk is considered as the highest observation deck in all of Thailand. Plan a breathtaking and thrilling proposal for the love of your life right on the skywalk's glass trays on the 78th floor (granted that they aren't scared of heights), as these offer a bird's eye view of the city's beautiful skyline. This location is perfect for taking photos during and after the proposal!
Location: King Power Mahanakhon, 114 Narathiwas Road, Silom, Bangrak
Lumpini Park
You'll often see Bangkokians of all ages jogging, playing, and practicing tai chi in the multi-functional Lumpini Park, also known as Lumphini or Lumpinee. Its relaxing atmosphere and lush greenery are heaven on earth in the middle of a bustling city like Bangkok and it's also a secluded and intimate location for you to propose to your significant other. Your proposal can start off with a fun paddle around the lake in one of the rental row boats in Lumpini Park. Then, set up a picnic under one of the trees as you and your partner indulge on your favourite fares. Pop out a bottle of wine, pop out a sparkling engagement ring... You know the rest!
Location: Lumpini Park, 192 Witthayu Rd, Lumpini, Pathum Wan
