If you’re already planning New Year’s Eve, you know how it usually goes. Grab prices surge after 10pm, the crowds around Ratchaprasong slow to a shuffle and the good rooftop tables go early. Sindhorn Midtown Hotel Bangkok, Vignette Collection by IHG offers an easier plan. It sits on Soi Langsuan, a short walk from Chit Lom BTS. On December 31, all four of its bars and restaurants go red and gold, and each one sees out 2026 in its own way. Most packages include free-flow sparkling wine, wine, beer, spirits and soft drinks. Prices are net, so the number you see is the number you pay.
ANJU Korean Rooftop Restaurant & Bar
The loudest night of the four happens on the roof. ANJU’s kitchen sends out a hansang, the Korean custom of covering a table with shared plates. Expect yellowtail and sea trumpet wraps topped with avruga caviar, and smoked beef short rib on potato pancake. Bartenders put on a soju bomb show, and staff set up ddakji, the paper tile-slapping game from the first episode of Squid Game. You can also play cham cham cham, where you try not to turn your head the way your opponent points. DJs play from 9pm-2am. Entry alone is B3,099 per person. Tables for up to five with the platter cost B31,490-35,490, and the priciest adds two bottles of Champagne.
Veha
Veha suits a slower evening. The buffet starts at 6pm with a carving station for beef tenderloin wellington, Australian lamb rack and Spanish suckling pig. Nearby, a pasta counter serves gnocchi with truffle sauce, and kids find the chocolate fountain within minutes. A live band, a magician and games keep the room busy until 11pm, when the DJs take over. Dinner only, finishing at 10pm, costs B3,699. Stay on for midnight and it’s B5,999, or B7,099 for a seat facing the skyline.
Horizon Pool Bar
Just here for the last hour? The eighteenth-floor infinity pool deck hosts its own party from 11pm-1am, with DJs and a clear view of the fireworks. Plates of hot and cold bites come round too. Think smoked duck wrapped around asparagus, crab and green curry arancini and red and black Korean fried chicken. It’s B4,099, or B4,900 for a front-row spot.
Bangkok’78
Couples who’d rather eat properly before the noise starts should head here. The Premium Thai Celebration Set (B5,000 for two) begins with spicy marinated tuna and avocado on crispy wonton. Next comes beef or pan-seared sea bass with green and red curry, and a som chun granita closes things out. Service starts at 5pm. The set also covers a glass of sparkling wine, unlimited soft drinks and a pass to the rooftop celebration at ANJU.
