The Sky Bar Element Series Cocktails
Most of you who know me, know how much I favor Bangkok, Thailand since my first visit in 1989 and my numerous returns. I enjoy the people, culture, hotels, and absolutely love the silk. I cannot think of a better place than the Sky Bar in the Tower Club at lebua to spend New Year’s Eve.
For the second year in a row, this will be the highest ball drop. You will have a front row seat, as the Bangkok Ball begins its descent of 872 feet. You will be watching the ball drop and the fireworks coming up at you.
The mixologists will work their magic with various Elements Cocktail Series and celebrated chefs will serve extraordinary cuisine. This combination provides an exceptional atmosphere to welcome in the New Year.

The Sky Bar
If I were going to ring in 2015 in this spectacular setting, I would certainly get a room reservation and spend the night. The Sky Bar is absolutely delightful. Nothing would be nicer than to have a lovely dinner in one of lebua’s fine restaurants, ring in the New Year at the Sky Bar, and retire to a comfy room. Sounds good to me!
