Chinese New Year Celebrations in Koh Samui

A festival that brought much color and vibrancy to the pristine beaches of Koh Samui, the Chinese New Year, this year, was celebrated with fervor and excitement on the 19th of February.

One of the best places to be on New Year’s is at the fun-filled Chaweng Beach that is renowned for its excellent nightlife infrastructure. Travelers in search of Koh Samui hotels close to the beach should consider the Anantara Bophut Koh Samui Resort & Spa as it is located just approximately 15 minutes away.

Beaches are also the best venue for spectacular New Year firework displays. But don’t be sad when they finish, as then, you and your loved ones can take part in the magical act of lighting Thai floating lanterns and send them aloft into the air to join hundreds of others that together, create a fantasy-like spectacle.

The Chinese were one of the first to settle in the island, thus Chinese New Year is one of the biggest festivals that are celebrated in Koh Samui.
