Thanks Klaus for posting the details. The Chinese New Year festival in Thailand is a lot of fun

“Dressed in Red” fashion show
Concerts
“Ang Pow” gifts of cash
A range of festive entertainment

The event in Korat sounds interesting. Klaus will you be heading into the city to watch the Lion Dance or take part in the "fashion show"?

I am hoping to get to Samut Songkram for the festivities

Children perform a lion dance in the street of China town in Manila on Friday ahead of the Chinese New Year. Chineses around the world are to celebrate the year of the pig on Sunday.
