Chiang Mai’s Highest Bar to Glow with Pride This Month
CHIANG MAI, Thailand (2025) – Meliá Chiang Mai’s 360-degree rooftop bar will reopen on June 28 with “Glow Up! A Black Ruby Pride Party” featuring a dazzling drag queen show, DJ sets, cocktails, a best costume competition and more. To mark the legalisation of same-sex marriage in Thailand and Pride Month, MAI The Sky Bar will host the glittering event “to celebrate love in all colours” from 6pm until midnight.
Perched on Meliá Chiang Mai’s 22nd floor, MAI The Sky Bar offers spectacular views of the Ping River to the city’s east and famed Doi Suthep Temple on the mountaintop to the west. The remarkable venue features rooftop terraces at varying heights, with a spectacular glass bridge connecting the bar’s highest seating areas.
The party under Chiang Mai’s starlight skies will be underpinned by a drag queen show by the city’s BLOW Entertainment and the bar’s resident DJs spinning the decks.
Bar-goers are encouraged to wear their loudest and proudest attire, with the winner of the best costume award to score a complimentary one-night stay at the hotel.
Entry to the event is THB 500 (USD 15.50) and inclusive of one “Black Ruby” cocktail. The first seven table bookings receive a complimentary special cocktail basket.
Drawing on Meliá’s Spanish roots, the bar menu offers up a variety of tapas and pinchos, grazing boards and desserts. Local sustainable and organic farming underscore a variety of dishes.
In addition to cold cuts, the menu features mixed grill skewers, croquetas, fresh summer rolls comprising vegetables in fresh spring roll wrap and sweet tamarind dip, and salmon tiradito with mango passion fruit dressing, avocado mousse and pickled onion. Rich chocolate mud cake with berry compote and biscotti, and a jar of tiramisu with creamy sweetened milk and lady fingers are among the dessert options.
The dishes are designed to be accompanied by the bar’s vast array of spirits, cocktails, mocktails, wines, beers, coffees, signature tea concoctions, smoothies and shakes, fresh juices, and soft drinks.
