New Year's Eve in Bangkok 2026

Best Rooftops in Bangkok for NYE 2026-2027:
Our 9 Picks and Prices

New Year's Eve Guide · 7 min ·

Share

On 31 December every rooftop in Bangkok sells the night as a package, and the best ones put a fireworks display right in front of you. Here are our nine picks for New Year's Eve 2026, from the 59th floor above the CentralWorld countdown to a family-run terrace on the river, with what each one costs this year and how to book it.

A rooftop is the best seat in Bangkok at midnight on 31 December: the fireworks at eye level, a table, and no crowd pushing behind you. The catch is that each rooftop faces one display, so pick the fireworks first and the rooftop second. Where to Watch the Fireworks maps the displays; this page is the shortlist.

Our Picks at a Glance

The 2026 prices published so far. “Net” includes service charge and VAT; ”++” adds 10% service charge and 7% VAT on top, about 18% more. Aether’s tickets are sold on Megatix, which adds its booking fees at checkout.

1. Centara Grand at CentralWorld: Nine Ways Above the Countdown

Centara Grand at CentralWorld stands right over the CentralWorld countdown, so the midnight fireworks go off beside the tower, and the hotel sells its whole New Year’s Eve across nine venues from the 23rd floor to the 59th.

The countdowns: Red Sky Bar’s standing countdown on the 56th floor at ฿4,900 net, CRU at the very top on the 59th at ฿14,955++, COCOA XO on the 57th from ฿9,599++, Tea & Tipple’s balcony at ฿4,999++ and the open-air Lotus Garden at ฿3,955 net.

The dinners: the eight-course terrace dinner at Red Sky at ฿19,555++, the indoor set menu at Red Sky at ฿9,555++, the surf and turf at UNO MAS on the 54th at ฿11,999++ and the Ventisi buffet at ฿3,955++, with children aged 6 to 11 at ฿999++.

Our own party is here too. We count down to 2027 on the 26th-floor Pool Deck, home of our monthly pool parties, from 7 PM to 1 AM. See the party and put your email on the ticket alert at the bottom of this page.

Compare all nine offers, price your group and book, or read the rooftops first: Red Sky, CRU, COCOA XO and UNO MAS.

2. Aether, Silom: Fireworks on Every Side

Aether sits on the 44th floor of Central Park Offices in Silom, with the skyline on all four sides and nothing above it. At midnight Bangkok’s fireworks go off in several directions at once, and from this deck you turn around to see them all.

Four DJs play the deck from 9 PM, through the countdown and into 2027. Tickets start at ฿4,500 plus booking fees for the early bird, and tables seat four to ten. The night is for guests aged 20 and over.

The line-up, the five ticket tiers and the seating plan are on our Aether New Year’s Eve page.

3. Spire Rooftop Bar, Dusit Thani: The New Classic

Spire is the rooftop of the new Dusit Thani Bangkok, 39 floors up at the corner of Silom and Rama IV, under the hotel’s golden spire and above Lumphini Park. Aether’s tower is its neighbour in the same Dusit Central Park.

The hotel’s countdown, “Welcome the New Year from the Rooftop”, is a standing celebration from 9 PM with canapés: ฿8,500++ per person, or ฿7,800++ for Dusit Gold members who book before 16 December. A seat costs ฿1,000 more per person. Spire admits guests under 20 only until 7 PM, so the countdown is for adults.

4. Sato San, Moxy Ratchaprasong: The Party Pick

Sato San is the playful one: Thai-Isaan meets Tokyo on the 32nd floor of the Moxy Bangkok Ratchaprasong, on Ratchadamri Road between CentralWorld and Pratunam.

Its “Rooftop Countdown Above Bangkok” comes with a seafood spread and carving stations, live jazz, dancers and DJs, and the fireworks over Ratchaprasong. Packages start at ฿9,500++ per person, with all-night and VIP packages above that. Guests must be 20 or over.

5. Moxy Bar & Restaurant: The Family Pick

Twenty-three floors below Sato San, the Moxy’s 9th-floor terrace is where families go. Last year it opened to children with their own prices and a front-row view of the CentralWorld fireworks.

This year’s dinner is ฿6,000++ per adult, and children aged 6 and under dine free. There are buffet stations with seafood, a barbecue and desserts, a live band, a DJ, a photo booth and games. More family options in New Year’s Eve with Children.

6. View Rooftop, Novotel Platinum Pratunam: Fireworks Up Close

The CentralWorld fireworks go up just in front of the Novotel Bangkok Platinum Pratunam, and View Rooftop, its 9th-floor terrace, watches them close up with the skyline lit behind.

“Countdown to 2027 on the rooftop” runs from 9 PM to 1 AM with DJ sets and live performances. The prices are to be announced, and we add them here as soon as the hotel publishes them.

7. Three Sixty, Millennium Hilton: The River Pick

The river’s big midnight display is at ICONSIAM, on the Thonburi bank. Three Sixty, the circular glass-domed bar and jazz lounge on the 31st and 32nd floors of the Millennium Hilton on the same bank, faces it over the river.

The hotel had not published its 2026 countdown when we last checked. We add it here the day it goes on sale. In the meantime, the other river rooftops and the countdown cruises are the ways to watch the ICONSIAM fireworks.

8. River Vibe, Talat Noi: The Hidden One

River Vibe is the rooftop you have to find: the lift of the River View Residence, at the end of a Talat Noi alley in Chinatown, to the 8th floor. Its open-air balconies look straight down the Dragon’s Belly bend of the river towards ICONSIAM.

It is family-run, a world away from the hotel sky bars. Nothing is published for New Year’s Eve 2026 yet: message us on WhatsApp or email [email protected] and we ask the team for you.

9. Pastel, Sukhumvit Soi 11: The Gatsby Night

Pastel, on the 22nd floor of the Aira Hotel on Sukhumvit Soi 11, turns New Year’s Eve into a Gatsby night under its hand-painted dome.

There is an early dinner at ฿8,900++, a later dinner at ฿9,900++, party tables at ฿5,000++ minimum spend per guest and countdown tickets from ฿3,500. Reserve Pastel for New Year’s Eve.

How to Choose Your Rooftop

Book by early December: the cheapest tiers and the best tables go first. On the night, plan the way home before midnight with Getting Around on New Year’s Eve, or stay in a hotel with a rooftop and take the lift.

For every party and dinner on sale, with how the packages work, see Rooftop Parties and Dinners. For the rest of the night, the free countdowns and the fireworks, start at New Year’s Eve in Bangkok. And for any other night of the year, here are our 10 favourite rooftop bars.

Best Rooftops: Your Questions

What is the best rooftop in Bangkok for New Year's Eve 2026?

It depends on the fireworks you want. For the CentralWorld countdown, Centara Grand has nine offers from the 23rd to the 59th floor right above it, and View Rooftop faces the same display from the 9th floor. For the river and ICONSIAM, Three Sixty at the Millennium Hilton. For a party with the skyline on every side, Aether, 44 floors above Silom.

Which rooftops see the CentralWorld fireworks?

The rooftops of Centara Grand at CentralWorld, which stands right over the countdown: Red Sky, CRU, COCOA XO, UNO MAS and the Lotus Garden terrace. Close by, View Rooftop at the Novotel Platinum Pratunam faces the display, and the Moxy Ratchaprasong has Sato San on the 32nd floor and a terrace on the 9th.

How much does a rooftop cost on New Year's Eve 2026?

From ฿3,500 for Pastel's countdown and from ฿4,500 plus booking fees for Aether's early bird, to ฿4,900 net at Red Sky Bar, ฿8,500++ at Spire and from ฿9,500++ at Sato San. The countdown dinners run from ฿6,000++ at Moxy to ฿19,555++ on the Red Sky terrace. View Rooftop, Three Sixty and River Vibe have not announced their prices yet. "++" adds 10% service charge and 7% VAT, about 18% on top.

Can I bring children to a rooftop on New Year's Eve?

Yes, at a dinner. Moxy Bar & Restaurant on the 9th floor of the Moxy Ratchaprasong lets children aged 6 and under dine free, and at Centara Grand the Ventisi buffet with the Lotus Garden add-on and the two Red Sky dinners take families. The rooftop bar parties (Aether, Sato San, Spire, CRU, COCOA XO) are for guests aged 20 and over. More in New Year's Eve with Children.

Do I need to book a rooftop for New Year's Eve?

Yes. We do not know a single rooftop that takes walk-ins on New Year's Eve: the night is sold as packages and tables, booked and usually paid in advance, and the cheapest tiers go first. Book by early December.

Which rooftop is best for the ICONSIAM fireworks?

Three Sixty, the glass-domed bar on the 32nd floor of the Millennium Hilton on the Thonburi bank, faces the display across the water. River Vibe in Talat Noi looks down the river towards ICONSIAM from its 8th-floor balconies. To be right under the fireworks, take a countdown cruise.
