We went at Dusk so go to see the best of both worlds (well worth it) I would expect to spend 2 hours here. We ate at the bottom and again it was reasonably priced. A Lot of fun we can now say we have been to the highest building in Bangkok which is surprisingly not that big at all! At first we couldn’t make up our mind whether to do it but am glad we did”
