The Hotel Phillips makes diners feel right at home. The Party Never Ends We have no reservations about this year's worldly New Year's Eve celebrations. Most restaurants will celebrate with traditional New Year's Eve dinners on December 31. And many area Chinese restaurants will observe the Chinese New Year, which falls on January 24 and kicks off the Year of the Snake. But please don't confuse the Chinese New Year with the Thai New Year, coming up on April 13.
Water symbolizes happiness in Thailand.
No water is thrown on the New Year's Eve that falls on December 31, but Liberda plans to be open for business as usual. Though, she notes, things don't really get wild until April. And while December 31 is typically a lucrative night for most restaurants, at least one popular eatery won't even be open. There's mocha marscapone cappuccino for dessert. There won't be a prefixe meal or champagne, but the coffee will be hot, the service snappy, and breakfast available all day and night, right up to the minute 2001 officially clocks in.
