Thailand Flights To Bustling Bangkok

See the year out with a big, big, bang in Bangkok, hailed as one of the top ten destinations to see in the New Year. For over a decade this vibey city has been the subject of world broadcasts centered around the brilliant fireworks, pyrotechnics and live shows on Old Year’s Eve and the New World Lantern Festival.

Submerge yourself in the brightly lit excesses of the nightclubs or hit the roof at any of the rooftop bars and parties overlooking the Christmassy city lights.

Dip your toes into the badlands of Bangkok’s Khao San Road. Here it is customary to get down to the beat in one the clubs along the strip, chomp on scorpions, and overindulge in buckets full of booze.

Nearby, Sanam Luang offers a far more sedate approach to the event with prayers and a subdued lantern ceremony.

All along the Chao Phraya River, the party is on; with bands, solo artists and a whole lot of mingling with the crowds. For a relaxed meal with a view of the action, there’s no shortage of eateries along the waterfront offering fine dining or casual eats. A romantic alternative includes cruising along the waterway with a live band in the background and a buffet for picking at. 

Lantern Festival Chiang Mai

For a quiet(er) night out Chiang Mai offers a smaller scale version of the Bangkok countdown and candle-lit lantern ceremony.

The festivities centre on the Tha Pae Gate area where live music acts will be pumping all night long, with a lengthy fireworks display to end the evening. Restaurants, bars, and a nightclub add to the celebratory atmosphere around this part of town. 

Ko Phangan Full Moon Party

In the fine tradition of Spring Break everywhere, Haad Rin beach is packed with partygoers eating, drinking and making merry until the sun comes up.

All around Thailand, plush resorts offer up their own versions of a New Year’s bash away from the crowds. Patrons will be spoiled with awesome eats and live vibes until late into the night. 

Party in Phuket

Likewise, Surin Beach in Phuket is a party haven of barbecues, live music and gala dinners.

Nearby, Bangla Road has become synonymous with good times thanks to its thumping club scene. 

Hit the Road in Pattaya

Grab the bevvy of your choice and take a stroll around Walking Street in Pattaya. Things can get interesting along this 1 kilometre stretch with its many clubs and restaurants.
