Celebrated across the country by locals and visitors alike, New Year's may well be Thailand's largest celebration. In Chiang Mai, head to the river for fireworks and lantern releases. In Pattaya, hit the walking street for the liveliest parties, and when in Phuket, head to Surin Beach. Bangkok celebrants can try Live Park for an electro dance party, the Chao Phraya riverside for something more romantic or a rooftop bar for maximum atmosphere. You'll be spoiled for choice whatever idea of a good time is, but be sure to buy tickets and book in advance to avoid disappointment. When you're counting down the seconds to midnight, you want to be in good company, whether you're ringing it in with five or 500 of your closest friends.
