Calendar: Amazing Thailand Countdown 2020 in Bangkok
If you want to marvel at a spectacular fireworks display, laser shows and a mini concert on New Year's Eve at midnight, IconSiam in Bangkok is the place to be.
The festivities will start on December 30 at 18.00 p.m. Experience an iconic New Year celebration with a beautiful fireworks display themed as: “Seven Wonders of Blessings”. The themes illustrate the rich heritage of Thai history, the prosperity of the kingdom, the nation, religion, monarchy, the agricultural abundance through the expanse of water and by paying respect to the royal house that has long overseen happiness of the Thai.
Act 1 – The Glory: begins with golden showers of fireworks representing the glorious victory over the land and water and telling the world that this is the golden land blessed by the reigns of Thai Kings until the present time.
Act 2 – Health Giving: wishes the King a long life. The fireworks blast up into the sky and expand like a big tree spreading out its branches. This represents the loving kindness of His Majesty the King towards Thai people.
Act 3 – Way up High: points to the moral glory of the religion. The fireworks that light up the sky can be compared to the enlightenment that leads the way to a peaceful life.
Act 4 – Joy to the World: congratulations and peace. Colorful fireworks in thin and big lines spread through the sky with joy of happiness, representing the contentment of people at leading a happy life in this peaceful land.

Act 5 – Diamond in the Sky: wealth and the national resource called Suvarnabhumi – the land of abundance. The fireworks are like diamond flashes that scatter over the sky, resembling seeds that have been spread and will soon grow.

Do not miss it!
How lucky to be able to experience this. We stay on the 36th floor of the State Tower. I understand we're front row.
Look to the left and then we see Asiatique countdown so double party!
This seems like an incredibly varied program to me, but I wonder if you can still enjoy it, squeezed together between a giant mass of people who also want to experience it all. For example, I'm only thinking of Asiatique where tens of thousands of people are lined up along the Riverfront to see the fireworks over the Chao Praya River. We booked the Countdown Party at the Eastin Grand Hotel in Sathorn where you can enjoy a buffet with unlimited alcoholic drinks, entertainment and fireworks all over Bangkok for 2500 baht on the top floor (33rd floor).
And if you are not in Bangkok, it will also be broadcast live on one of the well-known TV channels, in the Netherlands you can also see it if you have a seesan TV subscription
