Date when festivals occurs: 25th December
Because majority of Thailand’s population isn’t Christian but Buddhist, they don’t traditionally celebrate Christmas like in other parts of the country such ad Europe, they just celebrate it because they like having fun. Children are taught the more commercial meaning of Christmas at school’s rather then the religious aspect. They dress up as Santa’s and Reindeers on Christmas day, and don’t get a day off but go to school like any other day. For shopkeepers and business men it is a good economic day because of the so called ‘Christmas rush’, where everyone is buying presents and decorations.
