If you want a festive celebration by the river, Royal Orchid Sheraton is where you should go. The hotel goes all in, so you’ll be spoilt for choice.
Christmas Eve starts with a big international buffet at Feast, with seafood on ice, carving stations, desserts, and carols floating through the room. Giorgio’s has a six-course menu from Chef Marco, with dishes like tagliatelle with scallop and black truffle. If you’re in the mood for Royal Thai dishes, Thara Thong serves a delicious meal in a pavilion with traditional music and dance. On the other hand, Siam Yacht Club goes for a more modern feel with premium seafood, good wines and live music.
The energy continues on Christmas Day. Feast serves a seafood-packed brunch and a buffet dinner later on, and Giorgio’s keeps the Italian holiday spirit going with a seasonal set menu. Siam Yacht Club carries on with another premium menu and live music for anyone who wants a livelier night by the river.
On New Year’s Eve, the celebration gets even bigger. Feast, Giorgio’s, and Thara Thong join together for a huge buffet, an open bar, dance and cabaret shows, DJs, and a front row seat to the fireworks over the Chao Phraya River. Over at Siam Yacht Club, the countdown party comes with a premium buffet, an open bar, live music, and wide river views for the midnight show.

Price: Festive Weekend Buffet from 1,111 baht, Christmas dining from 1,690++ baht, New Year’s Eve experiences from 3,200++ baht
Le Méridien Suvarnabhumi is an amazing pick if you want a festive break without straying too far from the city. The resort sits by a golf course with lakeside views, so the atmosphere is calm and luxurious. For the season, the hotel’s Latest Recipe launches a festive weekend buffet with Wagyu dishes, foie gras, sushi, sashimi, and big river prawns. It runs every Friday and Saturday and works well if you want an easy dinner with your loved ones.
For Christmas, you can go in two directions. Latest Recipe puts on a big buffet with roast turkey, beef Wellington, honey-glazed ham, oysters, blue crab, gravlax, maple-glazed salmon, and their delicious Crab Khao Soi. There are plenty of desserts, and Santa drops by with gifts for kids. Head over to Favola, and you’ll be treated to Chef Stefano’s four-course Italian menu with grilled octopus, handmade pasta with langoustine cream, cod or Wagyu rump, and an éclair dessert. The space has a cosy Tuscan look and works nicely for groups.
New Year’s Eve gives you a choice between a lakeside party on the Infinity Lawn with live music, premium buffet lines, and a countdown under the stars, or a five-course Italian dinner at Favola with scallops, red prawn tartare, duck ravioli, lobster risotto, Wagyu or snow fish, and millefeuille to finish.

The buffet is loaded with cheese, charcuterie, salmon gravlax and Christmas desserts, plus a carving station with Angus prime rib and Christmas ham. They also run a Santa Izakaya menu where you can order pork skewers, Wagyu spaghetti and other small plates as much as you like.

New Year’s Eve at Moxy is all about big energy.

It is right by CentralWorld, so you are steps away from the main countdown.
If you want something higher, the Sato San rooftop bar on the 32nd floor runs a full countdown party with DJs, dancers, neon lights, confetti bursts and panoramic views over the city.

4. The Athenee Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Bangkok
Date & Time: Varies by experience across Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Eve
Location: The Athenee Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Bangkok
The Athenee Hotel’s Season of Togetherness brings a calmer, more refined take on the holidays, centred around Mediterranean cooking at The Allium. Christmas Eve comes with a six-course dinner that leans into rich seasonal flavours, all served in a warm, elegant setting. Santa also drops by, which adds a light, festive moment to the evening.
Christmas Day gives you two choices. You can settle in for a five-course Mediterranean lunch built around bright, celebratory dishes paired with premium wines, or go straight for the boozy brunch if you want something more relaxed and social. Both feel generous and festive in their own way.
New Year’s Eve keeps things elegant with another six-course Mediterranean menu. You can choose the seating time that suits you, and each course comes with wine pairings. It’s a quiet, polished way to ring in the new year if you prefer good food and a steady flow of drinks over a loud countdown.
