Rooftop bars and restaurants in Bangkok 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.

For revelers who would rather float through the midnight hour than standstill, a Chao Phraya River tour is the ultimate way to ring in the New Year. Guests step onboard barges and set off on the River of Kings feeling like royalty, too. Numerous resources sort out these grand experiences, so if one happens to be booked, there are others from which to choose.


Champagne, cocktails, gourmet dining and white-glove service are the order of the night as beautifully-dressed revelers glide past sites that include Wat Arun, the Rama VIII Bridge and the Grand Palace while listening to live music. Once midnight approaches, fireworks are the true stars of the night during what tourists often call a “once in a lifetime” way to usher in a new year.
