Understanding the festival without the myths or the missed details.
Lunar New Year marks the beginning of the year based on the Chinese lunar calendar, rather than the widely used Gregorian system. Also referred to as the Spring Festival or Chinese New Year, the celebration changes dates annually and is traditionally linked to one of the twelve zodiac animal signs, each symbolising different traits and fortunes.
Despite its global cultural significance, the Lunar New Year is not recognised as a public holiday, meaning offices, shops, and commercial centres continue to operate as usual. Business hours typically remain unchanged, making it a practical period for both work and travel planning.
Across destinations known for hosting international visitors, including Thailand, the season often brings festive décor and themed dining experiences. Travellers staying at properties such as Avani Hotels & Resorts, offering some of the best hotels in Thailand. can still enjoy uninterrupted services.
Understanding these details helps visitors plan ahead without disruption during the festive period.
