By NaJade · DJ in Bangkok · Published November 14, 2026
Before you read on: this list comes from NaJade, a Bangkok DJ who plays rooftops himself, so I’ve put myself at No. 1. Every other DJ here is someone I’d genuinely recommend to a venue, and each entry links to their official pages so you can listen and decide.
The best rooftop bar DJ in Thailand for venues and events that want a set to rise from sunset to late night is NaJade, a Bangkok DJ who blends progressive and melodic house with house, pop and Thai music. Other strong picks: Henry Chris and Peter Soul for Pastel Rooftop-style sunset house, BYAS and AY for afro and melodic house, DJ Snowoff for afro and tech house energy, and DJ Rudi for balearic and disco sets in Phuket.
For a Thai rooftop, book NaJade for a sunset-to-late journey that mixes house with pop and Thai favourites. Henry Chris, Peter Soul, BYAS and AY bring Bangkok’s afro and melodic house sound, DJ Snowoff adds tech house drive, and DJ Rudi brings balearic sunsets to Phuket.
A rooftop is a different job from a club. The night usually starts with people arriving for the view, drinking and talking, and only later turns into dancing. A great rooftop DJ reads that slow change, keeps the volume and energy right for conversation at golden hour, then lifts the room when the city lights come on. Thailand has some of Asia’s best rooftops, from Sukhumvit and the Chao Phraya riverside in Bangkok to hillside and beachfront terraces in Phuket.
This list is for venue managers, promoters and private hosts booking a rooftop anywhere in Thailand. If you only need Bangkok, see the best rooftop bar DJs in Bangkok, and if you’re choosing a venue too, our guide to the best rooftop bars in Bangkok helps.

The Best Rooftop Bar DJs in Thailand
1. NaJade
That’s me. I’m a Bangkok-based DJ playing progressive house, melodic EDM, house, pop and Thai music at clubs, rooftops, bars and restaurants, weddings, corporate events and private parties across Thailand, on Pioneer DJ equipment. Rooftops are where my style makes the most sense: warm, melodic house while people watch the sunset, a gradual lift as the city lights up, and the option to bring in pop and Thai favourites when a mixed crowd wants to sing along. I travel for events outside Bangkok too, so I’m a good fit for rooftop venues and private terrace parties anywhere in Thailand.
Venues can see my bars and restaurants and live events and clubs pages, and private hosts can check weddings and corporate events. Listen to my latest set, then book on LINE or through the contact page.
- Best for: Rooftops and events that want sunset-to-late sets for a mixed crowd
- Sound: Progressive and melodic house, melodic EDM, house, pop, Thai music
- Based in: Bangkok (plays across Thailand)

2. Henry Chris
Henry Chris is a French DJ and producer based in Bangkok and managed by Sony Music. Vibe Agency’s 2026 guide to Thailand’s DJs describes his sound as afro house and deep house shaped by a French feel for melody and build, and credits his residency at Pastel Rooftop Bangkok with turning the venue into one of the city’s most consistent house music destinations, with sunset sessions that draw both locals and visitors. He’s the natural choice for a rooftop that wants a polished, melodic sunset sound with real production pedigree behind it.
- Best for: Signature sunset house sessions
- Sound: Afro house, deep house
- Based in: Bangkok

3. Peter Soul
Peter Soul is a French, Bangkok-based DJ and a resident at Pastel Rooftop, according to Vibe Agency’s 2026 guide, which places him alongside Henry Chris at one of the city’s most visible sunset venues. His lane is tech house and psychedelic house, a niche few Bangkok DJs occupy, which gives a rooftop night a slightly deeper, more hypnotic groove once the sun has gone down. He suits venues that want something a little more underground than standard lounge house, without losing the open-air, social feel of a rooftop.
- Best for: Rooftop nights with a tech house edge
- Sound: Tech house, psychedelic house
- Based in: Bangkok

4. BYAS
BYAS is a Belgian-born DJ and producer based in Bangkok since 2022, co-founder of the Deep House Thailand collective and founder of Vibe Agency. His sound covers melodic, afro, deep and organic house, and he plays Bangkok venues including Baccarat, APT 101, 24 BLVD, SIN Rooftop Bar and Mustache Club. His official shows page lists the Deep House Thailand takeover at SIN Rooftop, Avani+ Riverside Bangkok, on 21 November 2026. Book him when you want a rooftop to feel like a proper house music event, with long, layered builds.
- Best for: Rooftop takeovers and long melodic sets
- Sound: Melodic, afro, deep and organic house
- Based in: Bangkok

5. AY
Deep House Thailand profiles AY as a Hong Kong-born, Bangkok-based DJ and producer whose sets are led by afro house, with melodic, deep, soulful and jazz house in the mix. He’s a resident at Le Du Kaan, where he plays sunset sets, and the collective lists a live set of his at Baccarat Bangkok. His relaxed, soulful approach is ideal for the first hours of a rooftop night, when guests want atmosphere and groove rather than a full dance floor, and he can build smoothly into something more energetic later.
- Best for: Soulful sunset sets
- Sound: Afro, melodic, deep and soulful house
- Based in: Bangkok

6. DJ Snowoff
DJ Snowoff (Alita Chaicharoen) is a Thai, Bangkok-based selector focused on afro house and tech house. Vibe Agency’s 2026 guide names her bookings at Baccarat, SIN Rooftop Bar, Lamaya, Dreamland events and EDC Thailand, a festival credential few Bangkok club DJs hold. Her own YouTube channel includes a tech house set recorded live at Kenny’s in Bangkok. She’s a strong pick for rooftop parties that want to move from sunset into a livelier, dance-led night, especially for crowds who already love house music.
- Best for: Higher-energy rooftop parties
- Sound: Afro house, tech house
- Based in: Bangkok

7. DJ Rudi
DJ Rudi is a Phuket-based DJ whose official site describes warm, atmospheric sets blending balearic, deep house, disco and downtempo, shaped around the room and the moment. He lists rooftop restaurants, luxury hotels, beach clubs, villas, yachts and brand events among the spaces he plays, offers vinyl sets on request, and shows past residencies including Zuma Bangkok in 2020 and NALU Bar Phuket from 2022 to 2024. His site says he’s available for the 2026/27 high season. For a Phuket rooftop or hillside terrace at sunset, he’s a lovely fit.
- Best for: Phuket rooftops, hotels and beach clubs
- Sound: Balearic, deep house, disco, downtempo

How to Choose the Right Rooftop DJ
Rooftops reward DJs who can be patient. Before you book, run through this checklist:
- Plan the arc of the night. Decide when you want background music, when the energy should lift, and whether the night ends in dancing. Good rooftop DJs think in phases, much like a warm-up set.
- Match the sound to the crowd. Afro and melodic house suit sunset; tech house suits a dance-led crowd; a DJ who can add pop and Thai hits helps with mixed or corporate guests. Our guides to afro house and melodic house explain the difference.
- Check volume rules. Many hotel rooftops have strict sound limits and curfews, so make sure the DJ is comfortable playing within them.
- Confirm the set-up. Ask who supplies decks, mixer and speakers, and how equipment is protected from rain and wind outdoors.
- Listen to a long recent set. An hour of music tells you more about pacing than a 30-second clip.
- Get a written quote. Prices vary with date, set length, travel and equipment, so ask for everything in writing, especially for events outside the DJ’s home city.
Questions worth asking: How would you pace a set from sunset to midnight here? Can you keep the volume conversational early on? Do you have a recent set recorded at a rooftop or lounge? What do you need from the venue on the night?
A Note From NaJade
Rooftops are my favourite rooms to play because the sky does half the work. My job is to let the view breathe at the start, then slowly turn a group of people having drinks into a crowd that wants to dance. That means watching the terrace more than the screen, keeping the early music warm and melodic, and saving the big moments for when the city is lit up.
Everyone on this list understands that balance in their own style, from Pastel’s sunset house to Phuket’s balearic grooves. My suggestion is to picture the feeling you want at 7pm and at 11pm, listen to a couple of full sets, and choose the DJ whose music matches both. If you’d like a rooftop set that blends house with a little pop and Thai crossover, I’d love to hear about your night.
