Christmas in Thailand

Christmas in Thailand is on 25th of December, always in winter. Winter in Thailand is sometimes cold or even hot. You will rarely see people go to church because most Thai people are Buddhists. We never get presents for Christmas. In Bangkok and other big towns all the department stores, shopping malls and big hotels usually put up a big Christmas tree. They are often in competition to see who can put up a bigger or brighter Christmas tree. Christmas in Thailand is just for young people and children go out and take some photos by a Christmas tree or have dinner together. Thai people like to celebrate even if Christmas is not our religion’s celebration. The best place to see a nice Christmas tree in Bangkok is Central World Plaza because it is very big and very bright.

  1. Very interesting to know about how to celebrate Cristmas for other non-Christian country. But I feel Japan is the worst country to misunderstood the concept.
