Chinese New Year
Today was Chinese New Year's Eve. Firecrackers awakened us all today. Thailand seems to celebrate all worldwide holidays. Any excuse to party! Chinese New Year is widely celebrated as there are many Thai-Chinese and ethnic Chinese in Thailand. According to the Bangkok Post each Thai spends 3600 baht ($110) on offerings for departed ancestors. Some of these can be quite elaborate. As you can see in the pictures that follow, food and drink predominate. Some even include alcohol.
