The crazy Thai experience: Bangkok rooftop party at The Imperial Queens park (Part 2) Altitude party

So yet again I ate myself till I could barely walk (You know that feeling where you ATE SOOOO MUCH (!!!!) that you don’t want to walk, don’t want to sleep and don’t want to sit down?). And still we had this amazing Altitude rooftop party ahead of us – and apparently this had to be done feeling like a stuffed pig over Christmas. Well after waiting an hour for the Altitude party, we went to the swimming pool and relaxed for half an hour and went up back to our 5 star room at The Imperial Queens park hotel. We spent 5minute to make sure that we look like rock stars (with our genes we did not need more time to achieve this).

And then exhilaration kicked in!!! We want to party on the rooftop of The Imperial Queens park hotel – Altitude party!!! You could hear the music of the party all the way to our room. (I wondered by my elf “Self, how will people react tonight at 12:30 when the music still played as loud...”)

Sooooo the time finally came to head up to the Altitude rooftop party!!! Do you know how weird it feels if you sit in an airplane and its ready for blast off? Now that’s exactly what the elevator felt like. The moving speed of the elevator is remarkable. After taking 10 seconds from the 10^th floor up to the 32^nd floor your exuberance reaches peak levels - you just want to go party. When we got there we saw there were a lot of people…. (NO. Not a bunch of fellow party animals…) The employees of The Imperial Queens park hotel… We were the only 2 (party) people there… now that feels strange (awkward moment) …. So I said to Brian that this really feels awkward… so yet again we decided to go to our room for 30 minutes or so, to let the party start. So after waiting again for 7 hours (and drinking some rum with Red Bull) we finally headed back to the Altitude party.

And we found a scene closer to what we expected…. More people. So we had to get something to drink because this is going to be a big night. (Our first rooftop party in Thailand and our first New Year’s party outside the borders of South Africa) We were on a tight budget as we only had 2500 baht and this had to last us for the whole night. So we first had to go buy coupons. After buying the coupons (125 baht a coupon our eyes stretched and our mouths went “ f!@#$% this is expensive….”) Anyhow, we went to the bartender to buy ourselves a really expensive drink… 300 baht for a beer (even in rand this translated to be expensive R75 a beer), apparently we were going to do the countdown sober tonight…

So after paying 600 baht for 2 beers we finally got in the party mode…. Music playing as loud as a sound competition in Boksburg… we enjoyed ourselves.

Here are some pictures:

We saw some coupons (about 1000 baht worth of coupons) and there were about 500 people so we could not return it to the owner thus we decided to randomly shout “thank you” into the crowd and buy us a celebrating drink. Cheers to us!!!

And the countdown finally started!!! :

And The Imperial Queens park hotel surprised us with amazing fireworks at the Altitude party:

After an amazing show of shooting stars and exploding umbrellas we danced for hours -untill my head started to make his own music in my body... DOOOF!!!#$% DOOF!@#$% BANG!@#$BANG!!!!!! I said to Brian “I’m done now”, so we decided to head back to our room. Brian went in search to find me some headache pills. While Brian went out I fell asleep. After half an hour Brian retuned with some pills. He woke me up and told me to drink!!! You know that feeling (you are sick nobody must touch, speak or look at you) that was how I felt. Then we finally went to bed. The next morning we had an amazing brunch at The Imperial Queens park hotel.
