To my knowledge hotels do get booked up before, but personally i think mostly by Thai's maybe by some foreigners too. Timetable, i am not in the know where to get one now. Is it worth to stay a few days?...if chinese new year and the things about interest you , i think it is a must do. Remember most of the do's during chinese new year is at night and over a few days prior to the procession there is a lot of happenings at the Night market area as well.. I went to last years procession and i was told that they do another one the next day as too many people where there....so i saw the day 1 procession It is said that the chinese new year celebration in Nakhonsawan is the second largest in Thailand, that maybe actually true. Nakhonsawan has a very high percentage of Chinese (& Thai/chinese) population -that the reason why... Take your time and have a look around the timetable will come out closer to the festivities i am sure of .... hope that helps, mbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
