What this is
31 December and 1 January are consecutive official holidays. Bangkok's private countdown programmes and viewing rules are announced separately, so the holiday dates are certain while any specific fireworks venue must be checked closer to the night.
Why go
- Two consecutive official holidays
- Citywide private and public countdown activity
- New Year's Day merit-making
Plan it well
- Book river and rooftop venues only after checking the organiser's own conditions
- Expect road and transit controls in major countdown districts
