Chinese New Year in Bangkok – A Blast of Colour and Festivities

The Chinese New Year is a voyage to the past and a celebration of the present. It is based on the Chinese Lunar Calendar that is supposed to have originated in 2698 BC. In Bangkok, festivities revolve around Chinatown. The celebrations continue for around two weeks, however the magic of the new year is concentrated into one day of the year. Monday the 8th of February 2016 is the day to expect the roads to be teeming with people, gigantic cloth dragons walking and dancing casually down the road and unusual acrobatics taking centre- stage. A Sathorn hotel, Bangkok that will give you access to the festivities is Anantara Bangkok Sathorn Hotel. From this central location, one can join the crowds and the families in welcoming a brand new year in grand style. Also, visit one or more temples in the city and be attentive as religious observances take place. It is truly a joyous occasion.
