Chinese New Year
You’ve probably seen the red decorations everywhere, and maybe yesterday you woke up to the sound of firecrackers. Thai people are celebrating the Chinese New Year! Up to fourteen percent of Thailand’s population are of Chinese descent, so it is of course an important event. The people who went to the temple also had their cars blessed, that is why you can see flowers hanging on between the headlights.
It was also a holiday, so the week-end was very busy in Cha-Am. In another post I will give you some tips to avoid the traffic jam at the main junction!
Another good news is that the cold spell seems to be gone. It’s already very hot early in the morning, and the evenings are just perfect, not too cool and not too hot.
