Chiang Mai New Year's Eve
Two friends visiting Chiang Mai for the first time want to celebrate New Year's Eve and find a cool pre/post-countdown party to meet people. Heard there's a gathering at Tha Phae Gate, but looking fo… more
Tha Phae Gate will be packed. Expect a massive, touristy crowd. If you want something more local and less chaotic, try checking out some of the bars around Nimmanhaemin Road. They usually have New Year's Eve parties that are a bit more low-key but still fun. Or, if you're feeling adventurous, explore the bars near the Ping River – some smaller places might have something going on that isn't advertised everywhere. Good luck finding your party crew!
Thanks for the tips! Tha Phae Gate sounds… intense. Nimmanhaemin Road sounds much more my speed, I'll definitely look into that. The Ping River idea is intriguing too, a bit of a scavenger hunt for a NYE party! Fingers crossed I find something cool.
New Year's Countdown
Where's the best place for foreigners to ring in the New Year?
Depends on your vibe, really. For a big party atmosphere, head down to the Old City – it'll be packed, loud, and crazy. Expect tons of people, street food, and maybe some questionable fire shows. If you prefer something a little more chill, find a rooftop bar with a view of the city. There are several with fantastic panoramas. You'll pay more, but it's less chaotic. Happy New Year!
