What to do for\u00a0New Year’s Eve in Bangkok ?<\/h2>\n

This year, the Temple of Dawn, or Wat Arun<\/strong><\/a> if you prefer, will be the\u00a0New Year celebrations center in Bangkok. Although the renovation of the temple should continue until the end of March, the scaffolding will be exceptionally removed for the occasion. The 2016\u00a0countdown at Wat Arun<\/strong> will be chaired by the Thai Prime Minister in person. This great celebration will also\u00a0commemorate the 88th anniversary of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej and the 84th anniversary of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit.<\/p>\n

The show will begin with 9 minutes of fireworks with over than 5500 fireworks. Then there will\u00a0be 45-minute display on the\u00a0“Chronicle of the Land”<\/em> presented by a multi-media performance of lighting and projection mapping on the stupa of Wat Arun together with music by the Mahanakhorn Philharmonic Orchestra and Usa Asil, the first multi-cultural ASEAN music ensemble.<\/p>\n

Across the river, the 300-metre stretch from Maharaj Road \u2013 at the section where the Nagaraphirom Park is located \u2013 to Chetuphon Road will be turned into a walking street with the theme of an ancient Thai-style market, selling GI (geographical indication) products from across the country, the one-tambon-one-product (OTOP) selections from TAT\u2019s 24 hidden gems and plus destinations, and famous products from 50 districts of Bangkok. The special three-day market also features a stage for contemporary and cultural performances. Thai and international tourists are able to come and celebrate this festive event together from 29 \u2013 31 December, 2015, during 17.00 -22.00 while the walking street extends to midnight on New Year\u2019s Eve.<\/p>\n

Even if the big show will be held on December 31, it will be possible to see the rehearsals on 29 and 30 December 2015 from 21.00 to 22.00 from Nagaraphirom Park. The celebrations will also be broadcast live on www.youtube.com\/Thailand<\/a>\u00a0and various television channels on December 31.<\/p>\n

It is perhaps more than ever a\u00a0god moment\u00a0to book\u00a0a dinner cruise on the Chao Phraya River. Most companies offer a special New Year’s Eve menu and will be keen to make you enjoy the different fireworks.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, Central World in Bangkok will host\u00a0a great countdown party with live music and DJ and fireworks of course on December 31. This is usually the biggest party\u00a0in the capital.<\/p>\n

Asiatique The Riverfront<\/a> will also organize\u00a0a great live concert with many Thai pop music stars and a countdown and a few fireworks.<\/p>\n
