            Concluded that Thai people will celebrate New Year's Day 3 times per year is all that. That is, traditional New Year Songkran Festival or January 1 and 3 in the Chinese New Year today. The Songkran Festival is the opportunity to enjoy the most because people from all professions are united in celebrating a period of several weeks and as the Chinese New Year is equally important especially for the Thai Chinese.
