Christmas is always a big event in Bangkok and although we cant promise you a white Christmas, the Centre Point team can assure you that well do our very best to ensure you have a very merry Xmas and a Happy New Year..!!
Christmas Shopping Bangkok is the perfect place to do your Christmas shopping, but even if youve already bought your gifts, a wander around Bangkoks famous shopping districts is still an amazing experience! Central World, Siam Paragon and the other main shopping areas are a treat at this time of year, so dont miss out on the light displays in this part of town. And dont miss out on the Bangkok Illumination festival around the EM District area (near the Emporium) and Benjasiri Park which runs from 1 December until 3 January 2016.
Christmas Dining Thai food is fantastic every day of the year, but if youre looking for something a little more traditional for your Christmas lunch or dinner, you wont be disappointed with what youll find in Bangkok on Christmas day. All the pubs around Silom and Sukhumvit put on Christmas fare, but as these tend to get sold out quickly youre advised to book in advance. And many restaurants, predominantly Western restaurants, put on Christmas buffets and set meals also, so youll find yourself spoiled for choice. Some of the most popular buffet and set meal offerings are found at the Dubliner, Bourbon Street and Molly Malones.
New Years Eve If youre staying in Bangkok over the holiday period youre in luck, because our city is considered one of the best places in the world to celebrate the New Year. And if Christmas is big in Bangkok then New Years Eve is enormous “ Thais love NYE and they celebrate it with passion each and every year. Youll find Bangkok to be an incredible place to be for the countdown with the lights, music and festivities that seem to be taking place everywhere, plus the locals are even friendlier than usual. At Centre Point Silom, were putting on a New Years Eve party with snacks and soft drinks on the terrace “ you can enjoy great views of the river fireworks from there “ but if youd like to join the festivities across Bangkok, the following suggestions may interest you.
- Dinner cruise on the Chao Phraya river “ If you book early, youll be able to reserve yourself a table on one of the cruise ships that sail up and down the Chao Phraya.
- Asiatique The Riverfront “ This is an exciting place to spend the countdown with a great fireworks display and some of the best wining and dining options in the city.
- Central World “ One of the most popular countdown celebration venues in all of Bangkok, this is a great place to bring in the New Year with thousands of friends.
