Chief marketing officer Nattakit Tangpoonsinthana announces Bangkok Countdown 2024 at CentralWorld and simultaneous Thailand Countdown 2024 celebrations in key provinces, expected to generate over 300 million baht from the Bangkok event alone.
The events, estimated at 500 million baht, will feature top-notch entertainment from 4:30pm to 12:30am, with highlights including performances by international stars and a showcase of over 200 local artists, offering a dynamic New Year celebration.
