Thais know how to party. Some might say at the drop of a hat. A party brings out the best in national identity -
a broad genuine Thai smile. So should we be surprised that Thailand is a favoured venue to celebrate New Year?
This is the land of smiles and “sanook”. Whether the countdown is in Bangkok, Phuket or a far northern
destination, the celebrations will carry the hallmarks of fun and genuine hospitality that make the country
such a rewarding destination to visit.
