2 Incredible Cities In Thailand To Spend New Year’s Eve

New Year’s Eve is now near at hand, so you begin to wonder where the best destinations for New Year’s Eve celebrations are. We all know that it is a time for families and friends. And around the world, everyone needs an unforgettable experience. So find below the two best cities you should head to if you want a true Thai celebration.

 

Enjoy A New Year’s Experience Like Never Before In Bangkok

Bangkok is well worth the time to spend New Year's Eve. As it is the capital city of Thailand, there is something for everyone there. Everywhere you turn, there's a place to drink, dance, or see music in Bangkok. Besides, all around the city, you will find general entertainment as well as food stalls for the whole family. You can go to the Imperial Queen's Park Tower at first to enjoy the festivities. Live music will fill the air. Watch the amazing fireworks display at the Central World shopping plaza.

However, if clubbing is your thing, you can celebrate New Year's at the Royal City Avenue. You can dance the night away and enjoy live music with international Djs, bars, and dance floors. You can partake in the large street festival by going to Khao San Road. This street will be filled with live musicstreet dancing, food, and drinks. If you want to attend more nightclubs there, you can also rent a luxury car that will help you spend your NYE safely.

Want to avoid the inevitable rush of people? If so, head to Sanam Luang. You will be able to release hot air lanterns into the sky, particularly if you want to shoot off fireworks during New Year's Eve.   While going there, you will experience an amazingly different New Year’s Eve. Additionally, river cruising is one of the most popular ways to celebrate the end of the year in Bangkok. As a case in point, you can go on the Loy Nava River Cruise. It will be the perfect way to catch a glimpse of the city’s official fireworks displays and to avoid the crowds.

 

What Better Way To Ring In The New Year Than In Chiang Mai?

Situated in Thailand, there's a ton to do in Chiang Mai. You can enjoy delicious Asian dishes, watch fireworks to welcome 2017, take part in a large street party, go clubbing in the city's great clubs, and much more. You can be sure to find a wealth of festivities. There are plenty of local food stalls and drink stalls. In the event you want a quirky and cool experience, go to the Night Bazaar. You also walk the City Square near the Tha Phae Gate. This place will feature food stalls and music as well as dance performers.

Find a bench to people-watch fireworks and lanterns in Chiang Mai. If you don’t want to roam the streets on the night of December 31st? Spend your New Year's Eve at Chiang Mai’s Ping River. Enjoy some live music for entertainment. You can also experience some of the best Chinese and Thai dishes there.

On the other hand, if you are looking for a change of pace, come celebrate New Year's in Doi Suthep. There's no place that does it quite like this Temple.

Bring in the New Year around Tha Pae Gate with a show, party, and lots to eat. All in all, no matter what your idea of a perfect New Year’s Eve celebration is, Thailand gives you the opportunity to experience something different. Just make your New Year’s celebrations memorable.
