Indeed, as such the celebrations for 1/1 are not that special. PLus that its a plus that BKK empties out the days before and traffic is a breeze-for those 2-3 days/yr.
I always found it quite amusing that most of the MBs had high expectations of 1/1-somehow the Thai superstitious belief was that many of those ´yarizomes´ could be expected and the rewards were or should be ample. Even more from the female ditto ladies. It most of times however did not really materialise in that amount-but next yr hopes were same-same or even higher.
Fondly remember some of the New/Old Year ´pahtees' or celebrations in some bars-alas, all of those wild ones seem to have closed.
Special congratulations to the happy few that were able to sneak in TH during that short opened window of opportunity with that Green/TH-Pass-like der christian and vinapu. Await their reports with happy anticipations!
And for all the other : in Thai: Melly KLissemes! That many bells may jingle and even more Rudolphes may bring lots of presents!
