DaiMai Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 I was awaked by the sound of fire crackers, frightening away all the foreign devils, which no doubt is intended to include myself? For a nation that claims to be Thai, it is remarkable how many people celebrate the New Year of a different nation!! Perhaps it explains the paranoia shown by immigration over a few farangs who would like to make Thailand their home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Explorer Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 For a nation that claims to be Thai, it is remarkable how many people celebrate the New Year of a different nation!! FYI Chinese New Year is not for the country China. It is for all chinese race around the world. And incase you don't know, most of the Thais are mix of chinese blood. do you belong to the people that would say "What? China is still in 2004?" Anyway Gong Xi Fa Chai Explorer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot think of any, and I have been around them a long time! Happy New Year, again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaaaaa Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 yeah ! gong xi fa tsai to everyone ! doubt though that "ampau na lai" would work here in Thailand. although my wife told me that one who wears red color (auspicious according to chinese beliefs) and goes to China town tomorrow can get a lot of free stuff and even win something like car or some other prizes - even farangs. she said she'll go. year of rooster - my year ! I was told everything would go smooth and nice for me this year ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otherstuff1957 Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 I like to see it referred to a the Year of the Rooster!

pnustedt Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 certainly not year of the cock. Actually year of the Rooster is just a western translation. It is year of the chicken! There is no Chinese translation to Rooster! Just western romanticism! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oleg_Rus Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 the coming lunar year (not chinese btw) is the year of adult male chicken and if someone want to call it Rooster - good for both of them. also, the colour is blue so can say "the coming year will be marked as a year of : 1. Navy blue fighting cocks 2. Sick poultry 3. Something about new viagra pills etc. anyway, it has nothing to do with any western religion, so for christians and others means nothing Xe Who Did Da Bitzh?
