Bangkok hidden gems: Swing Bar by ChingCha

While Swing Bar isn’t exactly a hidden gem, it seems to fly under the radar for many tourists on short Bangkok stays. This local favorite offers a fantastic view of the giant swing, which unsurprisingly inspired the bar’s name. Be prepared to climb the stairs to the rooftop bar on the 6th floor – there’s no elevator here! But trust me, the breathtaking views will make the climb totally worth it.

Unlike some of the flashier rooftop destinations, Swing Bar isn’t plastered across every travel blog. It caters more to Bangkok’s residents and those expats who’ve unearthed its charm. This translates to a more relaxed atmosphere, a welcome respite from the tourist throngs.

Now, Swing Bar won’t win any awards for accessibility. Nestled on the 6th floor of Ching Cha Hostel, it requires a bit of legwork to reach. No elevator graces this establishment, so be prepared to climb a few flights of stairs. But fret not, intrepid adventurer! The reward at the top is more than worth the effort.

Swing Bar itself is a casual affair. Seating options range from comfy armchairs to playful swings (a nod to the namesake), allowing you to find your perfect perch for unwinding. The drinks menu offers a refreshing selection of cocktails, beers, and local favorites, catering to a variety of tastes. Prices are refreshingly reasonable, making it a budget-friendly option compared to some of Bangkok’s more luxurious sky bars.
