Ring in the New Year in Style with Feasting and Fireworks at Amari

Amari offers front-row access to three countdown spots in Bangkok, Pattaya and Phuket

Bangkok 9 December 2020 – Looking to end 2020 with a bang, but want to stay safe and away from the crowds?  You’ve come to the right place! Amari has rounded up three of the best countdown locations across Thailand so you can be sure of the most memorable New Year’s Eve. Bangkok, Pattaya and Phuket offer three of Thailand’s biggest countdown locations, and Amari properties in all three destinations offer billion-dollar views that brighten everyone’s world as celebrations for the arrival of 2021 kick off.

Here is our list of three unique Amari New Year’s Eve ideas. Round up your loved ones and countdown to 2021 from the privacy of your personal space as the clock strikes midnight.

1. Pattaya Bay

Pattaya loves to party, and New Year’s Eve might be the biggest one of all! The drive from Bangkok to Pattaya only lasts about two hours, and half of the fun of any road trip is in the food along the way. Think famous Ban Bueng’s Noodle to the crowd’s favourite Nong Mon Grilled Sticky Rice. Pattaya itself is seeing a rise of cool beach cafes and cute coffee shops, all Instagram-worthy, so make sure to leave some rooms for afternoon coffee and sweet treats as well as an abundance of energy to strike a pose!

Stay at Amari Pattaya and take the front row seat to the spectacular fireworks, live concerts, and exclusive gala dinners. Starting from 5,000 THB++ per person, guests can enjoy a feast and live entertainment on Amari Pattaya’s luscious lawn under the star-speckled sky as they wait for the fireworks to start at midnight. For a more intimate viewing of the magnificent fireworks, check-in at one of the Club Grand Deluxe Ocean View rooms and enjoy a panoramic view of Pattaya bay as the night sky brightens with thousands of twinkling lights. This room is available at 25,423 THB net for a one-night stay on 31 December 2020 complete with breakfast for two and executive club lounge access.

2. Ratchaprasong, Bangkok

Bangkok is an exciting place to welcome in the New Year, and one of the biggest countdown parties takes place at CentralWorld, attracting people from all over the country who are eager to be a part of the celebrations. During the day, there are plenty of things to do around this area. Embark on a self-guided art and cultural tour and start the excursion at the iconic Jim Thompson House Museum followed by a visit to Bangkok Art & Culture Centre, one of the showcase locations for the Bangkok Art Biennale. Need a break after all the walking? Stop by Lido Connect, a newly-renovated historic cinema in the heart of Siam Square, to catch up on the latest indie films.

Check-in at Amari Watergate Bangkok and enjoy sparkling fireworks from the outdoor garden on the 8th floor as you toast to new beginnings with our delicious buffet of international fare accompanied by live entertainment. From 5,999 THB net, a couple also gets to experience the hotel’s brand-new Premier Room with interiors inspired by the cultural sights of the nearby central canal of the capital, New Year Eve’s dinner and breakfast.

3. Patong Beach, Phuket

For a more reflective New Year’s celebration, head to the largest island in the South of Thailand, Phuket. Known for its charming Sino-Portuguese architecture and century-old local restaurants, Phuket’s Old Town is the ideal neighbourhood for casual street strolling and exploring rustic coffee shops and chic boutiques. For the ultimate R&R, make way to the beaches. Feel the sun on your face, the wind in your hair, the sand between your toes and let the waves wash away all your worries from 2020.

For the ultimate romantic experience, treat your partner to a stay at Amari Phuket. Ideally secluded at the end of the beautiful Patong bay, Amari Phuket enjoys an unobstructed view of Patong Bay but feels tranquil, an excellent venue for intimate fireworks viewing. Starting from 12,800 THB net, guests can enjoy a two-night stay in an ocean-facing Superior Room, New Year Eve’s dinner at Rim Talay Restaurant as well as daily breakfast for two. Choose from two periods: from 30 December 2020 to 1 January 2021, or 31 December 2020 to 2 January 2021. For more information, please visit www.amari.com/phuket.
