Including these four temporary holidays, the legal holidays in Thailand will rise to 24 days in 20021year. Since the new millennium, Princess Sirindhorn of Thailand has personally participated in the Spring Festival activities in China. Under the example of the royal family, all people in Thailand, from the monarch to the prime minister, to the police courtiers and politicians, will be dressed in Chinese tunic suits on New Year's Day, waiting for the little princess in Bangkok Chinatown to celebrate the Spring Festival. The overall strength of China's economic development has also turned the Spring Festival in Thailand into a shopping carnival for China citizens.

Itipong said that the promotion of holidays is conducive to promoting the development of tourism in China and the economic development of all parts of the country. There are many overseas Chinese in Thailand, and the local Chinese community has always maintained the folk custom of the New Year. Thai royal family and government officials often sign up for the annual Spring Festival celebrations in Bangkok's Chinatown to celebrate the New Year with local overseas Chinese. In recent years, during the Spring Festival holiday, relevant departments and organizations of China and Thailand will jointly hold activities with the theme of celebration to publicize Thailand's? Taste of the year? Stronger.
