About

Lunar New Year turns Yaowarat into Bangkok's focal point for lanterns, shrine offerings, food and lion and dragon dances. Lunar New Year's Day is 6 February 2027, but Bangkok's event programme and road closures have not yet been announced.

Highlights

  • 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 it well

  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.
