TheCruncher Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I assume on New years ever there is an extensive display of fireworks by Cityhall. If so what time it will start? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banglay Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I am no Rocket scientist but probably Mid Night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCruncher Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 I am no Rocket scientist but probably Mid Night I was more thinking about a firework show that lasts a few hours, which is organized every year, and is actually finished already at midnight. Not sure though if that is organized on New years eve or another night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Not living in Pattaya I am surprised about such questions in the Pattaya forum Don't you think there will be another "Pattaya Countdown" at Bali Hai pier and down beachroad with huge firework on the Pattaya park hill? I guess there will: http://pattayaone.net/pattaya-news/220250/pattaya-new-year-countdown-2016-event-launches-at-pattaya-port/ An absolute mass gathering/stampede/traffic gridlock that I would probably watch from safe distance.

Since you link to a source outside TV, I assume I'm correct to say that I didn't overlook an existing thread on this forum. But still it doesn't show a time of the fireworks start.

lonewolf99 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 The OP is right to ask. On the rest of planet earth there would be an advert / signs up for when they start. One can assume anything you like here but they will make an ass out u and me everytime...old joke but correct when it comes to fireworks displays in Pattaya. They already set them off last night at approx ? 8 pm...not sure when they did them tonight but a random half assed guess might be anywhere from 8 to around midnight. The fireworks on the 5th of Dec were set off around 7.30 pm. On one previous year ? I remember the fireworks display in Nov and they set the whole fricking lot off at around 22:50 when it should have started in groups around 21:00 set to music...never understood that theory even with the 1812 overture...still sounds like a noise to me So if you don't want to miss them, be ready from before sunset and standby..... P.S. 1812 is a year not the time to set off fireworks as it would still be to light..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely different from the New Year countdown. Guess what the countdown will be down to? Is it midnight just in case? Thread done for me. Bizarre!

lonewolf99 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Whooah BENQ .. take a chill pill I know the international festival is in November...I was just mentioning it was a major cock up that one year...which ties in with poor organisational skills and timing for even the countdown.... which will have fireworks close to midnight...maybe ? But they are not using an atomic clock to time the event..just Khun Somchai's Casio... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely different from the New Year countdown. Guess what the countdown will be down to? Is it midnight just in case? Thread done for me. Bizarre! I'll second that. The council sponsored New Year's Eve fireworks ALWAYS start at midnight, no exceptions, in Pattaya. In the days prior, they're set of at around 9 pm. The fireworks you're all going to see tonight will be a big disappointment to anyone who saw the fireworks festival in November. They will last 15 minutes tops and fired from near Bali Hai Pier. You'll see some other smaller displays at some hotels along the bay. All the rest, that will continue for a couple of hours, are fired off by the public along the beach. If you sit on the beach you'll have vendors pester you to buy fireworks, normally going for about 500 baht a pop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's no longer rocket science - one doesn't need to have direct access to atomic clocks to get it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Lee Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 I went down there on the 29th and was caught off guard by the fireworks. Shame I didn't know or I would have brought a tripod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicowoodduck Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Fireworks at City Hall??? Only when they have a monthly meeting.....otherwise try down by Bali Hai pier...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pegman Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 I have been here for 7 NYE. The fireworks seem to have been scaled back each year. I decided to just stay in Jomtien this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandyf Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 I have been here for 7 NYE. The fireworks seem to have been scaled back each year. I decided to just stay in Jomtien this time. I would agree, last night was a bit below par. I have just watched the London display during the Bryan Adams programme and that was something else.

Shame on Pattaya Mayor for not inviting Bryan Adams or alike, but I guess the Capital of England has a bit of larger budget for these kind of events than Pattaya.

I would agree, last night was a bit below par. I have just watched the London display during the Bryan Adams programme and that was something else. It was exactly 6 minutes from start to finish. It wasn't worth the effort to get down to the beach to see it - I won't bother next year. There were a lot of idiots trying to float those burning kerosene lanterns which most often headed directly for the crowds, often hitting people (burnt one guy's shirt) or burning branches of trees.

WhamBam Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 (edited) The display this year was not good at all IMHO. Too few fireworks and too short a time. BUT the atmosphere on the beach was great. Edited January 2, 2016 by WhamBam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too right about the lanterns. I saw several lit back off the beach and they just went up into the trees resulting in burning bits dropping on to people.

Don't take my comment the wrong way, the show was spectacular but at what cost. Certainly shows where the priorities lie, they could have paid a lot of expats their pension increments out of that budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
