webfact Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 This year’s Lunar New Year festivities in Bangkok’s Chinatown, Yaowarat Road, will officially commence on February 10 under the auspices of Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn. The deputy governor of Bangkok, Tavida Kamolvej, confirmed her Royal Highness’s arrival at the Odeon Circle’s gate at 5pm to formally inaugurate the two-day celebrations. The announcement was made at a press conference following a safety-focused discussion held by the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) and various other agencies. The Lunar New Year celebrations, a significant annual event in Bangkok’s Chinatown, will feature a range of activities. These include lion dance performances, an exhibition emphasising Thai-Chinese ties, and Chinese lantern decoration, shared Tavida. She added that in a bid to guarantee public safety throughout the event, the BMA and other organisations will deploy security officers at specific locations. Furthermore, four of the city’s 78 Chinese shrines and several department stores, specifically CentralWorld, Siam Paragon, and Iconsiam, will coordinate their own Chinese New Year events alongside Yaowarat’s festivities on February 9-10. by Mitch Connor Photo courtesy of iStock Full story: The Thaiger 2024-01-30 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.
