Event Information:
New
Years Eve celebrations in Bangkok
are always massive, and looks
to be no exception. There are
often public countdowns at the major
shopping centers. All hotels and
restaurants will offer special meals
for NYE, sometimes with live
entertainment, and of course massive
spectacular fireworks displays along
the river. The biggest of countdown
event in Bangkok happens in front of CentralWorld Square.
CentralWorld is a shopping plaza and
complex in Bangkok, Thailand It is
the third largest shopping complex
in the world. The complex, which
includes a hotel and office tower,
is owned by Central Pattana. With several
hundred thousand revellers expected
to attend. For some lively nightlife
before the fireworks, the clubs and
bars at RCA, Silom or Khao San Road
will be heaving with party crowds.
Finding a great vantage point to
watch the fireworks can be an issue
in a city of the sheer scale of
Bangkok, so it's definitely worth
giving some thought to
spending the evening at one of the
restaurants or hotels that have a
roof garden to offer an ideal
viewing platform. most popular
options include Red Sky at Centara
Grand, Vertigo at Banyan Tree
Bangkok, Nest Rooftop Lounge or
Sirocco at Lebua at State Tower, all
of which are offering luxurious set
menus and parties.
Bangkok has a huge and almost
bewildering range of hotels and
guest houses offering a bed for the
night, and although New Year's Eve
does tend to attract a price premium
you shouldn't have too many problems
finding somewhere to stay to pretty
much any budget. The
InterContinental Bangkok is always a
popular choice, as is the Hansar
Bangkok.
Other
popular NYE locations in Bangkok
include Sanam Luang, Bed Supperclub,
The Mandarin Oriental Hotel and The
Deck by The River, where the major
fireworks over the Chao Phraya can
be viewed. Other cities along the
Chao Phraya include Nakhon Sawan,
Uthai Thani, Chainat, Singburi, Ang
Thong, Ayutthaya, Pathum Thani,
Nonthaburi, Bangkok and Samut Prakan,
listed from north to south. These
cities are among the most
historically significant and densely
populated settlements of Thailand
precisely because of their access to
the waterway, with Bangkok alone
having a population of over 12
million. Further afield in Thailand,
beach locations such as Pattaya, Koh
Samui and Phuket are always popular
with visitors at New Year's Eve.
