The "Hua Hin Beach Countdown 2025"

Ranked #1 for a reason, this is the epicenter of New Year's Eve in Hua Hin. For the 2025 countdown, they are hosting the "Hua Hin Beach Countdown 2025", featuring the longest fireworks display on the beach (over 2,000 shots!). The biggest highlight? They have confirmed a live performance by K-Pop superstar Yugyeom (from GOT7), along with T-pop groups and DJs. It is the biggest, loudest, and most exciting party on the coast.

Opening Time: Dec 31st: Event starts 18:00 – Late.

Location: InterContinental Hua Hin Resort (Beachfront), Petchkasem Road.

How to get there:

- From BluPort Mall (Nearest Landmark): It is located directly opposite BluPort Hua Hin Resort Mall. You can walk across the pedestrian bridge.

- Taxi: Tell the driver "InterContinental" or "BluPort".

The "All That Glitters" Party

If you want the "coolest" party in town, head to The Standard. Their 2025 theme is "All That Glitters." You have two choices here: a fancy Mexican-inspired dinner at Ojo (one of the highest restaurants in town) or the wild countdown party at the Lido Bar by the pool. Expect a very stylish crowd, excellent house music, and a "Miami-meets-Hua Hin" vibe. It is less chaotic than the InterCon but far more chic.

Opening Time: Dec 31st: 18:00 – Late.

Location: Naresdamri Road (Near the City Center).

How to get there:

- From Hua Hin Clock Tower: It is a 5-minute Tuk-Tuk ride or a 10-minute walk towards the beach.

- Taxi: Ask for "The Standard Hua Hin" (old Centara/Railway bungalow area).

The "Ibiza-Style" Beach Party

Technically located on the border of Cha-am and Hua Hin, Baba Beach Club is worth the extra drive if you are a music lover. Managed by the Sri Panwa team, this place is famous for hosting the best DJ lineups in the region (House, Techno, and Disco). Their NYE party is a high-energy, festival-style event with a massive sound system, neon lights, and a "Music Lovers" crowd. If you want to dance until 3 AM to world-class beats, this is the only place to be.

Opening Time: Dec 31st: 18:00 – Late.

Location: Thew Talay Estate (Petchkasem Road, Cha-am/Hua Hin border).

How to get there:

- From Hua Hin Clock Tower: It is a 15-20 minute drive north. You must book a taxi or Grab in advance for the return trip, as it is slightly outside the main town.

- Landmark: Tell the driver "Baba Beach Club" or "Thew Talay Estate".

The Classic Grand Gala

For those who prefer elegance and history over loud raves, the Centara Grand is unmatched. This former Railway Hotel transforms its massive topiary gardens and beachfront into a Grand Gala Dinner. Expect live jazz bands, ballroom dancing, and a very sophisticated atmosphere. It feels like stepping back in time to the 1920s. The fireworks here are viewed from the comfort of your gala table on the lawn.

Opening Time: December 31st - Gala Dinner, 19:00 – Late.

Location: Damnoen Kasem Road (End of the street from the Railway Station).

The Modern Beach Club Vibe

Located in the trendier, quieter north end of Hua Hin (Soi 35), Sundance is for the modern party-goer. It’s a multi-zone venue with a "Sunset Pool Bar" and a glasshouse restaurant. For NYE, they host a "Sip, Dip, and Dine" countdown. It’s intimate, incredibly photogenic (very Instagrammable), and focuses on great cocktails and DJ beats. It’s the best option if you want to avoid the massive crowds of the central beach but still want a party atmosphere.

Opening Time: Dec 31st: 18:00 – Late.

Location: Soi Hua Hin 35 (Wang Klai Kangwon area).
