Christmas may not be that big in Bangkok, but New Year’s Eve is. Almost all—or more like all—fine-dining and hotel restaurants in Bangkok roll out a dining bonanza of juicy meats, the freshest seafood, Thai dishes, international delights, and everything you can possibly crave. Most dinners last until midnight, and the best tables are usually at the riverside or in downtown Bangkok, where you can witness the city’s best fireworks displays.
