raro Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 The missus and me are thinking about where to go for New Years but cannot really make up our mind... So far we do know what we don't want: Neither the big gala dinner with free flowing Champagne as this would cost megabucks, nor the war zone in Soi 7. Required is a proper countdown that I have missed in all three Pattaya New Years I have participated - I want to know WHEN it's 0:00! Over to you guys and girls! What is the Friday crowd doing - I know most of you are out of town... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudy47 Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 We're planning to do some hi-so balloon chasing in Naklua where those shee shee ("expensive") condo projects can be found and often splash for a supposedly invitation only party with free booze and food. Last year was Northpoint which had an amazing buffet and we gorged on smoked salmon all night. Might do that again but I also feel worried about the dangers of drunk drivers, fireworks injuries, and possible terrorism. We might just stay home and then get to sleep at sunrise when the inevitable fireworks will stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be in Chiang Mai so will be doubly lost for what to do/ where to go. http://www.raimonland.co.th/e-invitation/northpoint.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humphrey Bear Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 (edited) I too am looking for something in South Pattaya or Jomtien, but not Bali Hai Pier, which is always packed with drunks. I want a family-type setting. Edited December 29, 2007 by Humphrey Bear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chang_paarp Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 I too am looking for something in South Pattaya or Jomtien, but not Bali Hai Pier, which is always packed with drunks.I want a family-type setting. Mulligans in Baan Mabprachan has a free buffet (or so the sign said this morning), live band that plays a good variety of music, and a great area for the kids to run around. It is not hard to find once you find the lake, just follow the road, it is on a corner just after a small minimart, about 2.5km from Soi Siam Country Club.

I stayed there 2 yrs back and U payy 1000 baht and it was a hugh party well worth the money and champane included.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed Raro at Northpoint Condos party last night. My, what a strapping young lad. I think he had a good night but I'm not sure the bushes appreciated his attendance much. (joking).

Hobgoblin Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 For the first time in six years, I'm staying home for new years. My friend and I brought about 50kgs of fireworks down from Chiang Mai, and we're planning to set them off tonight in our village, drinking store-bought Tiger beer. We're very close friends with many of our neighbors, and I'm sure the kids will enjoy setting off some of the bangers we've brought down... it seems to be a much better idea than going into town, driving home on the most dangerous night of the year on arguably the most dangerous streets (under any conditions).

pattayaGaz Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Can you buy fireworks in Pattaya? If so where. Dont think fireworks are legal to buy in Thailand, however there will be hundreds of dodgy looking Thais selling them around the bars in town tonight, only thing is there is only around four types commonly sold so all gets a bit boring after the first ten minutes and they arent cheap 250 to 500 Bht on average.

Cause it will be full of <deleted>, only joking!!!! Back to the OP, Raro you know you'll always have a good time at Noi's, good company and cheap beer till the early hours, sadly i'm in the UK so have a beer or 10 on my behalf.
