Any good place to reccomend.

stay at home so you avoid all the drunken idiots on the road, when over half the thai drivers think drinking and driving is ok being on the road during national holidays is best avoided

Down to the bars near the beach to have fun and watch the massive fireworks displays at midnight.

Sitting on the beach with some good friends enjoying some drinks and food and enjoy the show.

(Ps: This is a lot better then last year when we where up-country and fast asleep around 9ish, only be woken up by the sound of SMS's coming in at around Midnight )

Yep, but moving away from there very very very soon (just a couple of days after New Years in fact)

Fireworks means I'll be at home babysitting the dogs.

I can get on the booze and play with the locals anytime I want.

Sat on the beach, food, drinks and friends. Nice and easy.

most foreigners in bkk will be banging a prostitute

maybe just you and your 'llk'

not everyone in bkk is an aging sexpat.

Work and try not to think about it

When is it? I gather we had Xmas recently, but I missed it....what day is it today?

Happy New Year, mate.

It's OK Mate ... I'll still buy you and the Missus a Beer.

Catch up a few votes, hop on the Podium ... we can share 3^rd place.

Apparently, in Woolies, they have the HotCross Buns already!

Fool

At the gf sisters' house. Meeting more of the extended family. Probably eating some kind of bug or mud loving crustacean.

Will watch sunset over Mekong with wife, go eat, go home and hopefully be in bed by about 9pm.

I'm booked in to the local fishing resort for 3 nights with the Mrs and my Son.

A nice off the grid New year for us.

none of you doing the listening to loud music in a grimy/new club and drinking till your face turns blue routine?

Stay home ... Not worth to be killed by drunk driver ... Check numbers for accidents for last 3 or 4 years during only the new year eve and you will understand.

Local expats up my way have a big party,lot's of food and drink,sitting around a blazing fire in the garden,usually i sleep in the car,to avoid the drunken nutters on the road,also of course by that time i am fairly well oiled,the good thing about this is next morning unlike my wife's familys party,which is all very nice too,is that the music is not turned on full bore at 5am on New years day, in which the booming vibrating bass,threatens to burst free of the speaker housing,and on top of a hangover feels something akin to armageddon,as the family party is generally at our house,there is no escape,in fact at times like this and songkran i feel like i should erect a sign above the main gate saying "all ye who enter here,abandon all hope of sleep'.

Under my bed, much better spot with the dust bunnies than the idiots out and about Pattaya.

Can't wait for all the holiday crap to come to an end.....??

Ilk? Yes, we will all be banging prostitutes on New Year's eve! LOL!

We have reserved a room and a table at Baiyok hotel but now we are thinking about trying to find a cheaper option. I saw an advert for a party at central world... Might go there instead. Any suggestions for a good area to be in bkk when rhr clock strikes 12? cheers
