Fireworks west of Asok?

Question

I'm on soi 16 just south of Asok station and I happened to look west from my apartment and lo and behold, fireworks! I wish I knew! Where are they and what are they for?

Where and when else can I see fireworks in Bangkok? Will there be any for Chinese New Year? If so, where?

yeah those were probably from the suan plu area, there's a chinese temple complex over there that does random fireworks for festivals and merit-making events. not always announced. for cny, yaowarat is the main spot but honestly go to the wat mangkon area a few days before, they test-fire stuff and it's less crowded. if you want a chill view of the whole city skyline with fireworks, the roof of the bangkok marriott on surawongse is decent but pricey

yeah those were probably from one of the condo towers further down sukhumvit like the ones near phra khanong, they do random private shows pretty often especially on weekends. for chinese new year the official one is at yaowarat but if u want to avoid the chaos, the riverfront at saphan taksin has a good view from the pier area, or even better just grab a drink at the rooftop at river city, it's quieter and u can see both the city and river displays.

if you're on soi 16 and looking west, those were probably from the suan plu area near the khlong toei side. there's a chinese temple complex over there that does random fireworks for festivals and merit-making events, not always announced. for chinese new year, yaowarat is the obvious spot but i actually prefer watching from the saphan taksin pier area or along the riverwalk near river city. you get the reflection off the water and it's way less packed than chinatown itself. the big cny fireworks are usually on the actual new year's eve night and they go hard for like 20 minutes straight

fwiw those were prob from the benjakitti park light show they've been testing lately, they do random weekday displays sometimes. for chinese new year, yaowarat is the obvious one but if u want a calmer spot, the guandi temple on maitri chit road does their own thing with firecrackers and small fireworks, way less packed than the main street. iconsiam's river show on new year's eve is the biggest regular one around here, but for random weekday fireworks, check the ikea bangna parking lot, they do them for random sales events lol

those were prob from one of the condos near benjakitti park, they do private firework shows pretty often for weddings or corporate events. as for chinese new year, yaowarat is the main spot but it gets absolutely packed, like shoulder to shoulder. if you want a better view without the crowd, try the riverfront at asiatique or any rooftop bar along the river like zoom sky bar, you can see the displays from a distance.
