Where do you want to be for New Years Eve? How many of you are thinking about Thailand?

It is one of those surprising, rarely considered destinations, but you would be surprised how awesome and awe inspiring the holiday can be when you spend it there, specifically around the Ko Phanagn area.

Typically, more than twenty thousand people fill the Haat Rin beach to the very brim in order to ring in the New Year properly.

People come from all around the globe in order to celebrate in wild, surprising ways — they paint themselves intricately, dance, and of course there is pretty of drinking going on, not just until midnight strikes but all the way until the sun comes up over the water.

To be sure, the festivities are smaller than what you see in places like Paris or New York, but the celebrations are just as lively!

Ah, Paris. The City of Lights. What in the world could be better than spending New Years Eve in this beautiful city?

And Paris just so happens to be one of the hottest spots to spend the holidays. The festivities and celebrations range from dining of the highest class to raging and dancing at the hottest clubs to being awed and dazzled by some gorgeous fireworks, all topped off with delicious French champagne on the banks of the Champs-Elysees. What could be better, seriously?

You can start gathering there on that famed and notorious street around nine o’clock. At midnight, there comes the real thrill — a fabulous light show originating from none other than the Eiffel Tower. Whether you sit on the banks or take in Montmarte, New Years in Paris is the experience of a lifetime.
