Remarkable New Year's Eve traditions
Just a little while and we greet the new year. Many are happy that we can put this 2022 behind us, a year marked by the war in Ukraine, high energy bills and the aftermath of the corona crisis. The old year must first be closed in style and we do that mainly by looking back. The turn of the year, New Year's Eve, is therefore one of traditions. Fireworks and donuts have already been discussed on Thailand blog but there is more.

Coincidentally, I am now in Pattaya on New Year's Eve. I wondered how the Dutch celebrate New Year's Eve in Pattaya?

Does anyone have a tip?
Soon I'm going to Thailand for six weeks, traveling around on my own. I would like to celebrate New Year's Eve with other tourists/backpackers. Where is the best place to do that?
