Thailand / Celebrations / Chinese New Year

The date of Chinese New Year is determined by the lunar calendar; usually it's in February. For the Chinese this is a time for family reunions, feasts and exchange of gifts. Chinese owned businesses are closed for 3 to 4 days. Chinese Buddhists offer prayers for good fortune at their temples. Many Chinese travel to Nakhon Sawan where the festivities are especially colorful.
