Last month we’ve been at the Chinese New Year festival in Chinatown, Bangkok – on February 10, 2013. It’s always a big spectacle with lots of things to see, buy and eat.

Vendors are preparing snacks, and often quite spectacularly.

The streets flow over with the auspicious color of the Chinese New Year: red.
