Regardless of your location on the planet, there is always a partying city on New Year’s Eve. If you are in Southeast Asia at this time, you are likely to be spoilt for choices when it comes to places and ways to celebrate the occasion.
There are beachside parties, rooftop bars, and many more options to welcome the New Year in a unique style. Here are some cities and the best options you can enjoy
Bangkok, Thailand
Although Thailand maintains its April 1st New Year’s date, they still pull one of the biggest breathtaking parties on December 31st. One of the most appropriate places here on this special day is by the Chao Phraya River.
You will experience the best open views of fireworks when midnight comes. They are creative and fantastic enough to move any adult to marvel.
The grand show is considered a super work of art and if you want a bird’s eye view, there are many great rooftop bars to enjoy the best displays, which you will never forget.
If you would rather drink instead of watching the fireworks, there are loads of cheap alcohol in magnificent pubs such as the backpacker haven especially on Khao San Road, which has plenty of these.
Chiang Mai, Thailand
There is more in Thailand for your New Year’s expedition outside of Bangkok. In fact, Chiang Mai has the most beautiful element of the celebration according to many tourist reviews as well as locals.
This is the people’s choice for a place to spend on their New Years. You will notice the crowds flocking towards Chiang Mai but not as many as Bangkok.
Every year there are thousands of candle-lit lanterns that illuminate the sky of Chiang Mai after being released drifting off into the mountainous highlands you will never forget. This is not a memory you will ever lose in your life.
Traditional music combined with modern live music is an obvious part of the package to keep you entertained all through the night before and after the moment.
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
KLCC Park in Kuala Lumpur is magnificent lit up the city on New Year’s Eve. The festivities here are majestic thanks to the street lighting, scenic fountains, lakes, and the iconic Petronas Towers.
It is the perfect place for families and friends with great views of the fireworks, and huge fountains on the backdrop of impressive skyscrapers. If you want to be in a party mood, you can find Changkat Bukit Bintang with many pubs and bars for drinks.
The equivalent of Kuala Lumpur is the Times Square where there is never a dull moment as you party with the locals. Everyone deserves to spend one of their NYEs in Kuala Lumpur in their lifetime. You will never regret this treat as you will always carry it in your memory.
Singapore, Singapore
We all want a city with a fantastic fireworks show and Southeast Asia’s Singapore has the best night skies for Christmas. Marina Bay is known to light up the sky for the best sights, which attract even the elderly.
You can never outgrow watching fireworks as some people may assume. The dazzling display of fireworks is free for all and from long distances. This means you can be in high-rise buildings for an aerial view while enjoying your drinks with friends and family.
Being further away is better because when you finally get close, you will realize it is quite busy. You can only enjoy them from far at your convenience and comfort while you are on another fun activity.
The best location for most people in the Bay East Garden where a panoramic view is sufficient to kick in the New Year with the best style.
Bali, Indonesia
The travelers know Bali as a favorite destination and you will never be disappointed if you visit. Ku De Ta is the place to be if you want an Indonesian NYE.
There is a lot of activities from giant beach parties and street party forms. If you are a partygoer, there are dances that run late into the night to the morning.
The settings offer the best NYE ever in the country to try it out. It is a tropical paradise with certainly an appropriate place to deal with your year’s hangovers and stresses instead of your sofa.
