samtam Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 (edited) The celebration seems much more pronounced this year. Many people wearing red in Bangkok. A number of premises closed for the non holiday; Chinese New Year is actually tomorrow.

thailand49 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 😂Thais are becoming more and more Chinese each year. They should start to celebrate it for 21 days like Songkran. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arithai12 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 I don't hear many disparaging comments when they celebrate Christmas, Halloween or St. Patrick's Day, which are far more remotely connected to Thai culture than CNY. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Drake Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 This is one of the cultural festivities that makes Thailand interesting to me. I enjoy CNY and other Chinese influenced celebrations that have been filtered through into Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
