New Year is a special time of year—but it’s also kind of like Valentine’s Day in that you’ll either get bilked out of cash for a chair and a meal or end up wandering the streets angry just wanting to go home. Sure, we all know CentralWorld, IconSiam, Khaosan, and every mote of dust touching the river will have New Year events, but these are the ones to check out this year. We’ll be updating this list every Thursday until 2025. 

Fiesta Like There is No Mañana 

Kicking off at 6pm, you can expect a lot from Bangkok’s BAD Award-winning Best Rooftop Bar. Entry starts at B1,499, and you can always expect a good view from this spot atop the Kimpton Maa-Lai. More info here, Bar.Yard

Akara Sky Hanuman Countdown 

This bar may have started off with a bit of a touristy vibe, but Bangkok has really come around. And there’s no better time to see what the monkey god is doing than New Year, because the huge venue will be divided into six zones with DJs, performances, live jazz, free flow, and much more. More info here, Akara Sky Hanuman Bangkok

New Year's Eve Party Casino Royale

With tickets going for us B600, this gets you into Soi 11’s favorite spot to party. Expect DJ Pepe on the decks as well as live music throughout the night and well into 2025. VIP packages are available. More info here, Havana Social 

Stars and Spirits 

A special dinner will be followed by a countdown party at Japan-ish, the stylish downtown bar with great food. DJs will be playing throughout the night to keep the vibes going until 2025. More info here, Japan-ish

Let’s Celebrate

Tulum Sky Bar has been a big deal on the Bangkok nightlife scene this year. To end it, expect music from Violet Wautier live on stage, a fire show, dance performances, and a list of DJs. More info here, Tulum Sky Bar

Countdown Party: House on Sathorn

The House on Sathorn is a Bangkok architectural (and lifestyle) marvel. To celebrate they are putting on a party with free entry, but table packages are available. Expect a stylish venue and good tunes. More info here, House on Sathorn.  

New Year’s Eve White Party 

Above Eleven knows how to party, and to ring in 2025, they’ll be putting on a Peruvian set menu to go with the fulsome view of the fireworks and tunes from DJ Rory and DJ Ploy. More info here, Above Eleven

Dazzling New Year’s Eve at Lebua

This is definitely another one for people who really want to splash out for the New Year. Lebua is a big name on the Bangkok travel scene and this year they’re going all out to see the lasers, fireworks, acrobatics, and other live entertainment on the 64th floor. More info here, Lebua 

Grand New Year’s Eve Gala Buffet

A lot of people like to ring in the New Year around CentralWorld, so here’s your chance to get away from the crowds with an international feast featuring suckling pig, honey-glazed ham, and more. More info here, Ventisi

New Year’s Eve with a Spanish Surf & Turf at Uno Mas

If you like seafood, head down to Uno Mas for a buffet experience to kick off the New Year. With lobster, caviar, oysters, and more, this seafood feast will start at 7pm and go well after midnight. More info here, Uno Mas

New Year's Eve at Birdies

Birdies, still quite a new restaurant in Bangkok, is taking their fine dining fried chicken to new heights with the New Year, offering a Phrom Phong option with a fresh menu and champagne deals. More info here, Birdies 

Blast to the Past Rock the Clock

Expect fireworks, sea food, live cooking stations, and DJs to kick off the New Year at this spot by the River Barge Terrace. More info here, Chatrium Hotel & Residence Riverside Bangkok

Genesis: Countdown to 2025

Oskar is the bet for when you want things to get crazy—but maybe not too crazy. Their countdown will feature a series of DJs spinning from 9pm to late and they are going with an enchanted garden vibe. More info here, Oskar Bar and Bistro

Kaos 2025

Well, the Jeff Goldblum show got axed (prematurely if you ask us), but the party's still going at Aesops for the countdown. Dress for a white party of the gods. The buffet starts at 8pm, and the Kaos Cocktail Bar party starts at 9pm. More info here, Aesops Greek Restaurant and Rooftop

NYE 2025: Mustache x Flamenco

If the countdown calls you to the club, this is the one to beat. Expect Jules Blons, Aneesh Medina, Anchun, and Dalah playing tunes starting at 8pm, and the party goes inside after the countdown. More info here, Escape Glass House

Counting Down at the Newest Horizon

Nobu is new and they’re down for the New Year. Robert De Niro came to town to announce this highly anticipated restaurant, and it’s been turning heads ever since. Prices start at a whopping B21,000 per person. Expect their world-renowned fare with some of the best views in Bangkok. More info here, Nobu

Bollywood New Year

Why celebrate on the river when you can actually celebrate on the river. This year, the Sirimahannop sets sail with live food stations, drinks, a live band, and a DJ to see in the New Year. More info here, Sirimahannop

New Year Hangover Brunch Buffet

If the night goes well, you’re going to need a recharge. For the day after, So Bangkok is putting on a massive spread at Red Oven for B2,399 per person. And, if you didn’t get enough of the good stuff last night, there’s a beverage pairing. For something a little more nightlife, head over to the new Floor 9. More info here, So Bangkok
