I looked up rooftop bars on MumbaiBoss.com and found one called Cloud 9 in south Mumbai. After walking the area in circles for over an hour I finally managed to find the place and get up to the top. I was the only person at this place and the staff showed after 5 minutes from downstairs to serve me. The view from the windows and the deck was the only reason to visit, I'd recommend getting one drink and then getting out.
I decided to visit Sunset beach just south of Pattaya, on the way there the surroundings started to look more run down like I imagined Thailand. At sunset beach I found a restaurant surrounded by bungalows for 200 a night. The view from the place was great, as it was an isolated point on the coast.
