 Christmas is not a national holiday in Thailand, even though you will hear plenty of Christmas music and see decorations. There are some Catholic Thais (less than 1% of the population) who celebrate the event with their friends. One has to keep in mind that Thais use any occasion to have a party. Gift exchange is not as important during the Christmas days. Gifts are generally exchanged during New Year celebrations. "In the lead up to 31st of December, Thai people often exchange gifts and cards. " Many Thais will travel home for the holidays, but it's not an exodus like you see for the Thai New Year, April 13 (Songkran). |

At least these days we are getting better pre-event notifications. Unfortunately these notifications are not directed at foreign tourism. I suspect it may happen eventually that these schedules are translated
The Tha Rae starlight parade is the one not to miss. After all the Star light parades originated there Boat trip? Nah. I prefer private boat trips, instead of sitting in bus fashion. I used to enjoy boat trips where food and drinks were served. These days NO ALCOHOL ALLOWED. |
