On the morning of December 31, the Chao Phraya Tourist Boat (08:30) and the hop-on hop-off bus (09:00) open first. The boat is a day pass across 11 piers with some under repair, and the bus counts its validity from the exchange time.
For indoor daytime, there are Madame Tussauds (10:00-20:00, about 90 minutes) and WOW Park (10:00-22:00, 90-minute cap). WOW Park needs its science show booked separately and confirmed bookings are non-refundable. For a January 1 photo plan, the Supatra cruise has morning and afternoon sessions.
From dusk, SkyFlyers at Asiatique (13:00-22:00) offers river night views and Rajadamnern (17:00-22:00) pro Muay Thai. Neither refunds once confirmed, so book after your plan is fixed.
For the late night, Topgolf Megacity (to 23:59) closes last. Clubs are free to rent and the 150-baht membership is waived with an advance booking.
Before booking, confirm the refund rule, the pass validity and any New Year surcharge on each listing. Hours can change with on-site circumstances.
The Chao Phraya Tourist Boat runs 08:30-17:30, the hop-on hop-off bus 09:00-15:25, Madame Tussauds 10:00-20:00, WOW Park 10:00-22:00, Rajadamnern 17:00-22:00 and Topgolf 09:00-23:59. Match time slots first to decide how many to combine in a day.
Rajadamnern cannot be cancelled, refunded or rescheduled once confirmed, SkyFlyers cannot be cancelled or refunded and WOW Park bookings are neither refundable nor transferable. Read these terms first for a plan that may shift over New Year.
Madame Tussauds takes about 90 minutes, WOW Park caps entry at 90 minutes with no re-entry, a full hop-on hop-off loop takes 2.5 to 3 hours and the Supatra cruise about 3.5 hours. Add up the durations when planning.
