As we celebrated the new year in Thailand last winter we already wrote. By the way, one of our friends was also for this new year in Chiang Mai and said it was all about as well. So we missed a little 
But in February 2011, I do not remember how many, we watched interesting installations in our favorite mall Cad San Keo, timed in the Chinese new year. And specifically to China, they had nothing to do, so in the photos you will not see Chinese lanterns and other paraphernalia.
Preparing for the Chinese New Year
We went to the mall almost every day, since there there was a good supermarket, and also there was our favorite cafe. And in December, we began to notice the courtyard what strange papier mache designs and crowds Thais, scurrying around them.

Chinese New Year in Thailand to Chiang Mai
