The Chinese New Year is just around the corner, and Chinese communities worldwide are gearing up to celebrate the beginning of the year of the dragon on the traditional Chinese calendar. The festive spirit is also high in Thailand, which boasts a significant Thai-Chinese population. The New Year festivities kicked off last week and run through February 20.

 

For Thai-Chinese people, the Lunar New Year holds immense significance, much like Christmas for Christians. While Christmas is marked by red and green, the colour palette for the Chinese New Year is dominated by red and gold.
