Would like to know if there will be a big public fireworks display in Bangkok during the holidays in late December 2008. If so, where and what time?

Did some googling and only came up with Peninsula Hotel.

Spent last NYE in Hat Yai, it was mostly locals shooting off their own stuff. Bought a few 100g rockets myself.

Planning ahead is a good thing but you'll probably get more answers if you post next year.

Just take the Skytrain to the river and join the crowd.The skytrain runs all night.

Fireworks in Bangkok along the Chao Praya are incredibly good on New Year's Eve. You can go onto the bridge at Saphan Taksin and ENJOY!

"Big fireworks" are potentially over here:

Bangkok Countdown 2009 in front of Central World.

Checkpoints would be set up at all entrances and exits to detect for explosive objects and five bomb-defusing teams would be stationed at the event.

Sanum Luang or anywhere along the river, near the well known hotels, should be good. Last year I took some nice videos of the fireworks near the Peninsula Hotel, very nice reflection comes off the hotels glass exterior.

Vertigo!
