If you are looking for things to do for New Years Eve in Bangkok, then you won't be disappointed. The city is as colourful and lively as you would expect from a bustling metropolis, with the city's top hotels and restaurants hosting a great range of NYE parties, while the stunning fireworks at midnight can be viewed for miles around, on the banks of Chao Phraya River.

Here we've collated our top recommendations on where to spend your new year in Bangkok, how to find the best fireworks views and a selection of the top restaurants hotels.

Central World New Year Party

The main focus of much of the celebratory highlights is the Central World shopping plaza. In front of it is the Central World Square, where crowds in excess of 200,000 gather from early evening to enjoy the building atmosphere leading up to the explosive fireworks at midnight.

The event includes live music and a large screen which shows the countdown from other places in the world during the buildup, so you won't miss out on seeing the spectacular Sydney Harbour fireworks among others.

Other locations with rooftop gardens where you can dine and get drinks with some of the best vantage points are Red Sky at Centara Grand and Vertigo. Also popular rooftop options are Above 11 and Cloud 47, the names of which give subtle hints as to their highlights!

Amazing Thailand Countdown 2024

The Tourism Authority of Thailand has teamed up with Iconsiam Shopping Complex to bring you an epic New Year's Eve Countdown, with a staggering firework display along the Chao Phraya River. The whole aim is to showcase Thailand as a global countdown destination and it's well on its way in doing just that! This will be broadcast live on Thairath TV Channel 32 as well as being streamed on facebook: Iconsiam

New Years Eve at Khao San Road

If you want a taste of Bangkok life, the mega busy hub of Khaosan Road is where you'll want to head for a packed atmosphere, street vendors, the sound of firecrackers and people everywhere! This is where you'll find a heady mix of backpackers from all over the world. There will be dancing, parties, street food, drinks and celebrations throughout this iconic street.

King Power Mahanakhon NYE

If you want to celebrate in style from the very top of the world (well Bangkok), the Mahanakhon Sky Bar is the perfect place this new years eve. This is the tallest building, and therefore bar and restaurant, in the city and come the stroke of midnight, you will be wowed with spectacular 360 view of Bangkok from the 78th floor.

Marquis Queen's Park Tower Rooftop Party

Elsewhere, many of the city's top nightspots will be holding events to remember. The Marquis Queen's Park usually hosts the biggest rooftop party in Bangkok with live music, food and drink in it's signature restaurants and it is certainly ideally positioned to provide superb panoramic views of the city skyline come midnight, including their very own Imperial Fireworks Show.

NYE River Cruises in Bangkok

River cruises are especially popular in Bangkok at this time of year, representing an excellent escape strategy from the omnipresent land-based crowds, one of the most popular options is the Loy Nava River cruise on the Chao Phraya River, which offers a traditional dinner by candlelight and live entertainment on board this traditional teakwood rice barge.

NYE Bangkok Restaurants

When is comes to eating out, the restaurants of Bangkok offer so much more than Thai cuisine these days, although of course there is plenty of that in evidence, especially at Michellin star Sra Bua by Kiin Kiin. International options are plentiful though, Akira Back, The Silk Road, Spectrum Lounge Bar, The Berkeley Dining Room and Le Normandie by Alain Roux Restaurant at Mandarin Oriental. For epic views you might want to visit Rang Mahal, Red Sky or Uno Mas. You can also jump on board Sirimahannop!
