McFarang Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Mostly Private Parties or Pre-Bought Ticket events at the Resorts for the best Music & Fireworks. For Balloon Chasers though I am sure some of the smaller venues will have some guy playing a guitar and a few Bangers. There may be a few Tickets left for Friendship Beach or 808 etc but you are leaving it a bit late to go to an organised event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Croc Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) What about sitting in a restaurant along the Rawai beachfront? Do they have fireworks there? Edited December 29, 2011 by Old Croc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psmith Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Best get out of Rawai/Nai Harn and go elsewhere - was there for last 2 years and 'little bit boring' to say the least - have fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelepulse Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Karon Beach should be very popular. I was there today and they tested the music around 8 and it sounded good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are expecting 5000+ down there so it will be pumping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelepulse Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Looks to be free, there's lights set up to point down to the beach and water. Two stages are set up on opposite ends with one supposedly house/techno music, while the other stage is hip hop. Reported hours are 7 pm until 6 am. I feel sorry for those tourists staying close by wanting to sleep before 6 am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelepulse Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Yep, going to be a lot of rubbish in the sand after two late nights. Here's a gazette link about the event. http://www.phuketgazette.net/archives/phuketlifestyle/2011/article11757.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chainsaw Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Live music and free buffet at the Freebird Bar in Rawai on New Year's Eve. Gig will be entertaining the crowd with her excellent vocals + backing band. If you've never heard her sing, give yourselves a real treat and mosey on down to the Freebird on the 31st.

Where did you look? Wasn't looking for live music - Nai Harn beach looked OK, but rest of area was pretty boring - ended up in Tamarind Bar - same people that go there every day All depends what OP is looking for but will not find Thai new year on Phuket - tooooooooooo many farangs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
