As we anticipate the arrival of Chinese New Year on February 17, 2026, this festive occasion heralds the Year of the Horse, embodying qualities such as energy, courage, and forward movement. Referred to as Lunar New Year or the Spring Festival, the celebrations will unfold across the entirety of Thailand, a country that officially boasts the largest population of Chinese outside of China. If you pop over to China town you will find many Chinese New Year themed decorations and goodies and treats in all shapes and sizes. As well as our annual great list of events, don’t forget to check-out our other blog on Chinese New Year themed DIY arts and crafts you can do at home with the kids.
