Ring out the old, ring in the new

If you're not already out of town, there's a chance you might be heading to Ratchaprasong intersection tonight to join the huge crowd for the New Year Countdown. I've heard that this area has now been listed as one of the leading places on the planet for the New Year's Eve celebration, joining the ranks of Times Square in New York and the Sydney Harbour Bridge in Australia, though there's a distinct possibility that this list was drawn up by our tourism authorities.

If you are in favour of a celebration of a more sober and spiritual kind, then you might be heading to Sanam Luang for the mass prayer vigil that takes you into the new year with a pure heart rather than a smashed brain.

If you're a homebody, you might be preparing to crash in front of the TV for an HBO movie.
