Why route around it

What makes it worth the stop

  • Lion and dragon dances around Yaowarat and Chinatown shrines
  • Lantern displays, offerings and an exceptional street-food atmosphere
  • Bangkok's largest concentration of Lunar New Year activity

Plan the stop

Practical notes

  1. Do not assume a two-day street festival until Bangkok publishes the 2027 programme.
  2. Chinese New Year is not a nationwide Thai public holiday; normal business continues outside celebration areas.
  3. Use MRT Wat Mangkon and expect pedestrian controls around Yaowarat.
