What is New Year’s Eve without the feeling of being on top of the world? It’s a question diners and imbibers at Red Sky, the elevated alter to epicureanism and hedonism atop Centara Grand at CentralWorld, may find impossible to imagine this next 31st December. Their clear and present geo position will leave no doubt that they are indeed riding high both physically and viscerally.
For the next door neighbour, CentralWorld, is Thailand’s internationally-televised countdown point of contact. A whole 15 minutes of fireworks is featured amid a packed-out star-struck countdown. Meanwhile, Red Sky’s plush indoor restaurant where the tables are all arranged by the winding window, the better to view the downtown cosmos, along with its al fresco terrace and three summiting tiers of specialist bars ranging across floors 55 to 59, is where the in-crowd convene to celebrate the last supper of the year, raise a glass of bubbly, hug each other a lot and hum along to Auld Lang Syne. By then, it is about seven hours since Kiritimati claimed first 2023 dibs.
