Places to celebrate New Year in Bangkok 2014

Bangkok is definitely one of the best cities in Asia for New Year’s Eve celebrations. The city is known for putting a good show every night of the year, but come December the 31st they pull all the stops out and end each year with a bang. There are the classic options, like rooftop dinners with Champagne and large firework displays at both Central World and near the River. Families will enjoy Asiatique, the night market which has become one of the top spots for the countdown. For those who like to dance the night away the clubs in Khao San Road, RCA and on Sukhumvit 11 bring in international DJs who spin records till the early hours of the morning. If large scale celebrations are not your thing, then there are plenty of other options. Local restaurants and bars will also be celebrating, and whether you are travelling with family, friends or by yourself, there is an event to suit everyone.

CentralWorld Bangkok

Bangkok’s equivalent of Times Square in New York, a street countdown party happens every year outside Central World shopping mall. Find a good spot near the junction where you can enjoy the fireworks and cheery crowds that will have gathered here from the early evening, with over a hundred thousand people expected. In front of the mall there will be a beer garden and live entertainment including live bands and DJs. There will also be plenty of snack stalls. To really fit in, find one of the sellers who will be touting their flashing headbands and sparkly date sunglasses. Getting there and back is extremely easy as the BTS skytrain runs until after midnight on New Year’s Eve.
Opening Hours: 19:00 – 00:30

Upcoming Major Event of Thailand – ‘Father’s Day’ or ‘King Bhumibol’s 87th Birthday’ – this December 5, 2014!

10819060_10205490417959655_1495525944_n
It’s time to rejoice and celebrate His Majesty, The King’s Birthday once again this year, also regarded as ‘Father’s Day’ in Thailand! King Bhumibol Adulyadej, also known as Rama IX, as he is the ninth monarch of the Chakri Dynasty has reigned since 9 June 1946. He is the world’s longest-serving current head of state and the longest-reigning monarch in Thai history. 

As the day is nearing, the excitement is growing in the hearts of the people of Thailand. Their hearts skip a beat when they catch the sight of their beloved king on this auspicious occasion to wish him “A very happy birthday” and pray for his long life. They yearn to catch the smallest glimpse of His Majesty which makes their stand by worthwhile. They wave out to him with tears in their eyes feeling overwhelmed when their ‘Father of the Nation’ addresses his loving people with a few golden words following which there’s a silence and then an echoing roar from the huge crowd with the slogan “Long Live The King”! Thailand is in love with their King and they’d do anything for their beloved Father. 

Traditionally, Thai people celebrate by giving their father or grandfather a canna flower, which is considered a masculine flower. The locals will wear yellow on this day to show respect for the king, because yellow is the color for Monday, the day King Bhumibol Adulyadej was born. Thai people will light candles and show respect to the king by declaring their faith. Join in and find out why Thai people regard their beloved King as ‘The Soul of the Nation’.

“My family’s Home away from Home for 15 years” Reviewed by our guest from Rome, Italy


dwlangsuanc
My wife and I have been using the CentrePoint Chidlom for almost 15 years — from when it was still known as “CentrePoint Langsuan.” At first, we put our friends and colleagues who visited us from abroad there, but after we moved from Thailand, we started using the hotel. We’ve tried other hotels several times, but we ended up always moving to the CentrePoint Chidlom every time. For the price range, no other hotel can beat the service, amenities, and comfort provided by the CentrePoint Chidlom. Even the five star Bangkok hotels we’ve used (even the one used for a POTUS visit) did not match up for us because we found that their staff was not as friendly as the staff at the CentrePoint Chidlom.
I’ve noticed that some of the less than satisfactory reviews by other people here on tripadvisor could be associated with miss-communication and incorrect expectations. My wife and I have always made it clear our needs to the hotel’s sales office before we book, and we’ve never been shy about complaining about every little “nit-noi” problem we find to the staff, and in every case, the hotel staff always go out of their way to provide us with what we need or what we’ve requested.
The hotel’s location is a good balance between convenience and calmness in my opinion. The hotel is located about midway into a relatively quiet road — it is about a 15 minutes’ walk to the large Lumpini Park where you can see elderly people practicing tai chi in the morning. It is a 10-minutes’ walk to the closest “sky train” (BTS) station — or you can take the free hotel tuk-tuk to go between the sky train station and the hotel. There are several good restaurants just a few minutes’ walk from the hotel, yet the street is not as busy as “Sukhumvit” or one of the other heavily-crowded roads.
The breakfast at the hotel is just perfect in my opinion. I grew up in an Asian home (neither Thai nor Chinese), and I really appreciate the hotel serving what I would consider to be “Asian comfort food” that the CentrePoint makes available at breakfast every morning. This is in addition to typical western breakfast food (sausage, bacon, made-to-order eggs or omelette and milk-and-cereal) — but whereas most other high-end hotels in the area might serve ONLY the western artery-clogging food, the CentrePoint takes into consideration its Asian (and Asian-American) guests as well. (My little six-year-old son appreciated being able to get his misso soup every morning for breakfast.)
Although the hotel has been at its current location for a long time, it has done a great job maintaining and keeping its facilities up-to-date. The covered (but still open to the air) pool is a lot more relaxing and child-friendly now than it has ever been. The hotel lobby and library are very relaxing places to just sit and watch people or to read. Even the golf putting green they’ve installed is very well done and makes the stay at the hotel that much more comfortable. The rooms have been updated with comfortable furnishings and amenities. (The two-bedroom apartment we stayed in had 3 modern LCD TVs, comfortable king-sized beds with memory-foam pillows, fast internet — and a toilet that cleans your rear end for you!!!!) Our apartment was both comfortable and quiet. The housekeeping staff were very quiet; they were able to keep our rooms immaculate, yet we never hear them working in any of the other rooms on our floor.
As much as we love the amenities and the rooms at the CentrePoint Chidlom, the biggest reason why my wife and I (and now with our children) have always returned to the CentrePoint Chidlom is the customer service. My job of close to 30 years puts me on the road quite a bit. I’ve stayed at hotels of all levels of service and of a wide range of prices all over the world — from hostel-like places in South America to bed-and-breakfasts in England and continental Europe to resorts in Las Vegas to five star hotels in India, Japan and almost a hundred other countries. The friendliness and service that the staff at the CentrePoint Chidlom gives to me and my family every time we’ve stayed with them surpasses that of any other hotel I’ve ever used. (Again, I do think that communication is important if you want great service: The hotel caters to people of different cultures from all over the world, and for the most part, they’ve done a great job at anticipating their guests’ general needs. However, they’ve also been able to go beyond what we’ve expected from other hotels whenever my wife and I have asked.)
Our last stay at the CentrePoint Chidlom was for a 2-week vacation that started in early July. As our van drove up to the hotel, my wife and I turned to each other and then we said to our kids: “We’re home!” — The hotel staff did not disappoint us.
Room Tip: Communicate with the hotel. We’ve always been given higher floor rooms, and we’ve always be…

“A Great Place to Stay and Convenient Location” says a guest on Tripadvisor.com

FC_O_1605_ (5_1)
I stayed at the Centre Point Silom Hotel in April while I was attending a conference in Bangkok. To begin with the rooms are huge, comfortable and spotlessly clean. There’s also a kitchenette which I loved. It was very convenient especially since I was staying there for six days and would often return after a long day. Adjacent to the hotel there’s a shopping mall with different shops and many places to eat. There’s also a large supermarket which is also very useful.

The hotel’s amenities are wonderful with a well equipped gym and fabulous swimming pool. A great place to relax and unwind up on the 7th floor with a lovely view of Bangkok. I also enjoyed the breakfasts which are buffet style and have a large selection of food; especially the delicious fresh fruit! What I also appreciated was the complimentary coffee and tea and juices in the lobby. I thought that was a lovely touch and shows it’s a hotel which cares about its guests.
The staff are extremely friendly and always ready to help you with any question or to provide assistance. The hotel is conveniently located next to the Sky Train and the hotel shuttle boats which go up and down the river. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay at the Centre Point Silom and would definitely stay there again when I next visit Bangkok. Stayed April 2014, traveled on business

“ GOOD TIME EXHIBITION ”

Your opportunity to share SMILE, by purchasing the amazing handcrafted from talented children of the Na Kitti-Koon Foundation.
**Total earning will be granted to the foundation without deduction.

Now showing: on the L floor at Centre Point Hotel Thong Lo, until 17h November 2014.
The mission of the Na Kittikoon Foundation is to develop the communication and life skills of people with special needs through visualization, painting, drawing, music and theatre arts.
The foundation helps people with special needs such as Autistic Spectrum Disorder, Down syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, and more. Student’s skills such as visualization, imitation, and task completion, improve with each hour they spend on artistic work. At the same time, the students experience joy through talking, playing and working with their classmates. This kind of happiness is uncommon for people with special needs.
Painting brings out our students’ imaginations and inner beauty. Even though the imitation, each artwork is a unique melody which, when added to the works of others, creates the glorious symphony that characterizes Na Kittikoon art.
As Na Kittikoon enters our 10th year, our students continue together having fun altogether with enhancing their visual, communication and, most importantly, life skills.
At Na Kittikoon, we celebrate true acceptance and understanding of one another without any speech required.
What jubilation!
