Hi to all the members,
Can anyone tell me whether Chinese New Year is celebrated with parades, processions or street parties in Hua Hin? Last year we left too early for New Year, so I would be grateful for any tips that anyone can give me in this direction.
Thanks

A coupla years ago I witnessed a large parade (with the long dragon/snake going from shop to shop) along the 'Market Street' (is it Sa Sarong Rd?)..some really nice costumes & make-up on the ladies.

Don't forget the Chinese temples. You can experience most of the traditions and rituals on the first and second day of the new year.

Re: Chinese New Year in Hua Hin
As every big celebration Market Village and many other shops are trying to make you buy something you don,t need , this happens many times every , but do we learn? Or do we like to be in some way cheated?
Re: Chinese New Year in Hua Hin
Any news on what is going on this year? Are there Dragon dances or any other entertainment that anyone knows of.
Re: Chinese New Year in Hua Hin
Market village always has a dragon and a big celebration.
My brain is like an Internet browser; 12 tabs are open and 5 of them are not responding, there's a GIF playing in an endless loop,... and where is that annoying music coming from?
Whats going on with the land of smiles?
CHINESE NEW YEAR
Is there a parade scheduled and if so where and when?
Plenty of fire crackers going off today but I presume tomorrow is the big day
Will keep the dragon happy as it's her year
