Traditional celebrations are staged every Chinese New Year to pay tribute the mythical Golden Dragon - the guardian spirit that has watched over Yawarat for centuries, and to whom residents of the community believe they owe their good fortune, wealth and prosperity. The Golden Dragon is thus accorded an exalted status in ritual, as well as in everyday life.

To commemorate these milestones in history, Bangkok's Yawarat district or 'China Town', Bangkok's Yawarat district or 'China Town', Bangkok's legendary Thai-Chinese community, is hosting its grandest celebration.

Given the significance of the joint Sino-Thai Chinese New Year celebrations in Bangkok's China Town, ceremonies and festival highlights will be broadcasted on China's CCTV and also covered by Shin Hua news agency.Further information can be found at : http://www.tothailands.blogspot.com http://www.tatnews.org/
