đ Above Eleven â A Sky-High Experience That Hits All the Right I arrived with high expectations, having been recommended this place by friends and fellow travelers. And let me tell you â not only were my expectations met, they were effortlessly exceeded. đ The View: A Symphony of Light The perspective from Above Eleven is both humbling and inspiring â as a person who has spent countless nights writing songs that have become hits around the world, I know the feeling of capturing something magical. This view is pure magic. đ˝ The Food: Peruvian-Japanese Fusion Masterpiece The ceviche was as fresh as if the fish had just been caught. The acidity was bright, the seasoning was spot on, and it danced on my tongue like a well-produced hook line in a hit song.
The cocktail list was equally impressive, with creative concoctions that balanced sweet, sour, and bitter with elegance. The mixologists clearly know what they are doing â they create drinks with layers, much like the best songwriting.
đ The Service: Pingpong â The True Star of the Evening But what elevated the evening beyond the already sky-high standards was the exceptional service, and in particular Pingpong, who redefined what it means to be a perfect host. She wasnât just friendly â she was attentive, thoughtful, and sincerely caring. Throughout the night, Pingpong checked in at just the right moments, always with a smile that felt genuine. She anticipated our needs before we even had to ask. She didnât just serve us â she took care of us. She made us feel like we belonged there, like we were more than just customers. Itâs easy to have a beautiful venue. Itâs easy to have good food. Itâs harder to have a Pingpong â someone who leaves you with a personal memory. Pingpong â if you read this, know that you made the evening exceptional. As someone whoâs been blessed to write songs that have resonated with millions of people around the world, I know the importance of crafting an experience that hits the heart. Above Eleven did exactly that. Itâs not just about being at a beautiful place. Itâs about how that place makes you feel. Above Eleven made me feel inspired. Maybe for a new hit song. Made me feel like I was in exactly the right place at exactly the right time.
And thatâs why this is not just another rooftop bar â this is a Bangkok essential. Whether youâre a traveler, a local, or a fellow creative soul chasing the next magical moment. Would I recommend Above Eleven? Without hesitation. Iâll be back â maybe with another hit song in the making, maybe just for another night that feels like it belongs in the highlight reel...

A part of the reason we booked this place for Valentines was that they promised a âcomplementary glass of Champagneâ when we made the reservation and paid the deposit. The waiter welcomed us and said we would receive our âglass of Prosecco.â I pointed out that the two were not the same and referred to the email. She understood but seemed a bit taken aback and said she would check with the manager.
Time passed, and we sat there for 35 minutes with only water. After a few polite reminders, the manager arrived, and his response shocked me. He stubbornly insisted that he couldnât understand why we expected Champagne. I showed him the email, which he dismissed.
âBut itâs signed by Janeâisnât she your employee?â I asked.
âYes,â he reluctantly admitted. âBut when did you book?â
I explained that it was yesterday but didnât understand why that was relevant. At this point, I struggled to hide my sincere disappointment. His argument now was that they couldnât afford (!) to serve Champagne with this menu and that their New Yearâs menu, which did include real Champagne, was much more expensive. I explained that it wasnât our problem that they had promised and sold something they couldnât afford to provide.
His ability to push his own problems onto us as customers was unparalleled and extremely arrogant. However, we all wanted to salvage the evening, and the compromise was two glasses of white or red wine instead of the one we had originally been promised. Note that we had paid a 2500 baht deposit beforehand, and I spent a significant amount of time transferring it via Wise. I was reluctant to both the amount and the method, which is not very professional or smooth, but went through as my girlfriend really wanted to dine there.
When the waiter returnedâwho was very kindâI calmly explained how I felt about the situation and that we would never have stayed if we hadnât already paid the deposit. That we had been promised and paid for a BMW but were given a Skoda instead. She agreed. I hope the owners of the place will read this.
The food was fine, especially the lamb chops, which were very tender. View is clearly amazing, ambience good, and cocktails great. However, it was steep at around 160 USD for two people...

From the moment we stepped into this chic, classy setting, we were captivated by the breathtaking panoramic view of Bangkok. The skyline, lit up against the sunset sky, felt like a scene straight out of a movieâa perfect backdrop for a memorable evening.
The Peruvian cuisine was memorable and truly unique to Bangkok. Every dish, crafted by their talented native Peruvian chef, was of flavors and textures that triggered my taste buds - Sabrosa!!! From the perfectly prepared chicken to the savory salmon with herbs and avocado, every bite was an exquisite journey through authentic Peruvian gastronomy. It was a delightful and unexpected culinary experience right in the heart of Bangkok!
