Christmas and New Year, Thailand

Thailand is predominantly Buddhist and although Christmas is not an official holiday, the country still manages to embrace the sanuk aspects of the festive period and give it a distinctly Thai twist. Don’t be surprised to see tuk-tuk drivers wearing Santa hats and coffee shops kitted out with sparkly decorations to accompany the Christmas songs on their playlist. While Christmas Day may be a normal working day in Thailand, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day are both public holidays.
