Along with the party music are fire shows and entertainment as well as street performers and beach bars with countdown events. Your surroundings will be vibrant, colourful and celebratory.

Spectacular Fireworks at Midnight

The Phuket skyline lights up with fireworks when the clock strikes 12. The sky is painted with beautiful lights that make the coastline look even more beautiful. Make sure that you are located in a spot where you get to witness this with your own eyes. Novotel Phuket Vintage Park is located in a strategic location; you can walk to the most vibrant beach, which makes it accessible, especially when the roads are jam-packed with people and vehicles.

Thai Traditions

Each city celebrates New Year differently. You will observe that instead of fireworks, some areas utilise sky lanterns to bring in good luck for the new year. Sky lanterns are a staple of some special Thai celebrations, and seeing these traditions firsthand will truly be a memorable experience for you.

Aside from sky lanterns, some other Thai traditions that you can check out are Thai street food stalls, traditional music and cultural performances, as well as local Thai markets.
