Bangkok Cancels New Year’s Celebrations

[a447]

Up until Covid struck I rarely spent New Year in Australia; in fact, I think I've only remained in Perth twice since I returned from Japan.

I've been in Bangkok 3 or 4 times and although I enjoyed the celebrations outside Central World, they were nothing to write home about.

Other than that, I've spent NY in Tokyo or various places in Europe.

But one of the best New Years Eves ever was spent in Pattaya, down on the beach with my regular guy (at the time). We sent dozens of lanterns into the sky and then went back to the hotel to enjoy what the Japanese call "yarizome" - the first fuck of the new year.

It's a shame that this year the celebrations in Bkk have been cancelled, but I think that's the case in other cities around the world, too.

Anyway, while I'm at it, here's wishing you all a safe and very merry Christmas! And a much, much better 2022.

That's the least we can ask for!
