Chinese New Year | ตรุดจีน

Around 10% of the Thai population is Chinese or has a Chinese background, so the Chinese new year is celebrated extensively. During the day one can for example enjoy the famous lion dance, performed by 2 men in a lion suit, doing all kinds of acrobatics and visiting Chinese shops to get the money that the owners of those shops stuck on the roof. Performances all over the place, a big market in Chinatown and a lot of fireworks too. (January/February)
