LookingToSwing4,
First I think when you said "NYE" you don't mean New York but mean New Years Eve!
Based on the time your are arriving it's either Northwest or Japan Airlines. I have arrived at this time a number of times through the years. In the past I make sure I sit near the exit door and once I'm out I do a quick walk Olympic style past everyone to the Immigration. Once through I get my bags, meter taxi to Nana Hotel, check into room and I'm back out by 1 or 1:15. Pretty of time to go across the street to NEP, and if you're alittle late you can watch outside NEP, and Nana parking lot. Don't see anything go down Sukhumvit opposite Landmark Hotel and check out all the freelancers. Check out Embassador Hotel disco downstairs or outside when it closes. Don't see anything continue down Sukhumvit down to Thermae's and even all the way to Soi Cowboy for freelancers.
You might even want to make a booking at Tulips to have someone meet you at your hotel. Now if you do mean New Year Eve, and I've never been to Bangkok on that day or time you might have problems with traffic. Now if you are planning NYE in Pattaya disregard.
Good luck, LBM
