Chinese New Year in Pattaya Clothes Sales

The area of Naklua in North Pattaya has a high proportion of local Thai residents who boast Chinese family connections. Therefore during Chinese New Year you can see the Chinese symbols everywhere from Chinese lanterns decorating lamp posts to brightly coloured menus announcing special Chinese New Year menus at special Chinese New Year prices.



Bright colours especially reds and Yellows are everywhere. A local clothing store owner in Naklua said that this year there was an increase in sales for brightly coloured clothing especially patterned with Chinese characters and Chinese designs. This year is the year of the horse so there was a stampede for anything with a horse design or horse logo. Customers were chomping at the bit and these garments were galloping out of the store.
