The New Year's Gift of Alcohol Not Well Received in Bangkok

According to a recent published survey alcohol is the least wanted New Year's gift among residents of Bangkok. However, the report also states that it's the one they are most likely to receive.

The Bangkok Poll of 1,164 adults that live in Bangkok found a wide discrepancy in the types of New year's presents that people said they wanted to receive, compared to the New Year's gifts they were planning to be giving to others.

Bankok is well known for its tradition of New Year's gift giving. Alcohol made it high on the list of gifts those surveyed were planning to give to a recipient. Other popular gifts include cakes and cookies, household decorations and fruits. 46.3 percent of those surveyed said that alcohol is the present they would least like to receive.
