The beautiful Bangkok nightscape will create a perfect romantic atmosphere for both of you, while you have a delicious dinner and drinks with nice music to go along with it to heighten the mood.
Bangkok Sky Restaurant is a classic buffet restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere. It serves a great array of seafood, Asian food, and western-style dishes.

Parties are held in practically every shop within Khao San Road which is one of the reasons a lot of backpackers visit Thailand around the end of the year. The festive atmosphere with blasting music and partying is surely one of the best ways to spend the last day of the year!
