Magical city views
Categoría: Vida nocturna en , Foto
Bangkok rooftop venues are pretty magical on any night of the year but when it’s New Year’s Eve, they add an extra dose of sparkle to their lofty surroundings. New rooftops open almost every year in the city, and as competition increases, the events become more impressive.
Lebua often does a New York-inspired ball drop, and lavish 7-course dinners are usually offered at Lebua’s Sirocco bar, Vertigo at Banyan Tree Bangkok Hotel, and many others. Standard end-of-the-year celebrations will include plenty of bubbly, excellent food, and quality entertainment. Pick a top rooftop bar out of the many in Bangkok to enjoy fantastic views of the fireworks. Más información

4. RCA in Bangkok
Late-night excitement and entertainment
Categoría: Vida nocturna en , Foto
RCA in Bangkok is a classic option if you’re partying in a group and can’t decide whether you want live music, R&B, pop, or international DJs. This nightlife complex runs from Rama 9 to Petchaburi, housing over half a dozen nightclubs, pubs, and bars. For the end-of-year celebrations, they take it up a gear, so don’t expect an early night.
Make sure you bring ID as RCA are strict on this issue. Clubs will stamp your hand upon entry, so you can pop in and out throughout the night. The crowd here is young and fun-loving, a great party spot to ring in the new year in Bangkok. Más información

5. Bangkok river cruise
Relaxation on the water
Categoría: Familias, De lujo, Vida nocturna en
A Bangkok river cruise on New Year’s Eve can be a truly romantic experience. Tours often have a special departure at 8.15 pm, spending the last few hours of the year down the river on a converted barge. View the Grand Palace, Wat Arun, and Rama VIII bridges glowing in the lights.
One of the options is dinner on the Loy Nava which usually features a 10-course Thai dinner, a bottle of wine per couple, and party favors. Ringing in the new year aboard this beautiful boat is just about the most Thai way to party, and it goes on until 2.30 am (with scheduled disembark times throughout the night for people who don’t fancy burning the midnight oil).
