Chinese New Year - Bangkok 2024 - The Year of the Dragon Celebrations
Chinese New Year in Bangkok 2024 on Yaowarat Road.
Chinese New Year in Bangkok brings one of the most exhilarating celebrations to Yaowarat Road in the middle of Bangkok’s Chinatown. The entire street comes to life with crowds of worshippers, exploding firecrackers, and dragon dancers. This time of year, families of Chinese descent gather to join in the street celebrations.
This annual event usually takes place around January or February, with exact dates calculated from the Chinese Lunar Calendar.
On New Year’s Day, parents will hand red envelopes called ang pao (containing money) to their unmarried children. Most people start visiting their extended families and relatives to exchange a few oranges and ang pao, as well as wishing them a Happy Chinese New Year.
Chinese New Year is one of the most exhilarating times of the year, with dynamic sights and sounds. Shopowners of Chinese descent decorate their places with red paper lanterns, Chinese calligraphy banners, and posters.
Bangkok Chinatown hosts street fanfares and cultural festivities, including dragon parades, acrobatic dances, and firecrackers. On Chinese New Year’s Day, Wat Mangkon Kamalawat (formerly named Leng Noei Yi Temple) on Charoen Krung Street is packed with locals praying to deities.
Chinese New Year is always a great time and a must see if you are in the city during this time. The crowds are huge and the energy is amazing.
