Hi all,

After a google search on Chinese New Years, I found out that is on 14th of February, which happens to be on a Sunday. Does anyone knows if some business will also be closed for a few days after it?(ie, 15th, 16th)

Or is there any long weekend early in the 2010 year (from january to march)?

Thank you.

I think you can count on some shops being closed but how many and for how long is hard to say. One of my favorite eating places closes for the entire month every other year.

You do not state the reason behind your question, but FYI, Chinese New year is not a statutory holiday in Thailand. Banks, govt. offices and schools do not close at all, nor do large dept. stores. What the owners of small shops do is up to them.

If you were in China for Chinese new year - ALL will be closed for a few days. As for Thailand , there are Thai - Chinese here and they do celebrate but on a very small scale . Some shops will close and many Thai - Chinese return to their villages from all over Thailand to celebrate with their families . So no real problem but always a good excuse for a few beers I say .
