This year\u2019s date falls on 5 February.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Yuthasak said: \u201cThis year, the Chinese New Year official opening ceremony will be held at Siam Square, one of the most popular shopping areas in Bangkok. We aim to attract more of the younger generation to enjoy the traditional performances.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Every year, China sends over 100 traditional Chinese dancers and musicians, martial artists, Chinese opera performers and acrobats from several cities in a cultural exchange. In addition to the opening ceremony, typically held at Bangkok\u2019s Yaowarat (China Town), performances are also held in key cities around Thailand where Chinese New Year is celebrated in grand style. In return, TAT organises education tours of Thailand for the performers.<\/p>\n<p>For the Thai New Year (Songkran), TAT will continue its strategy to promote Thai traditions and cultural values, the core part of almost all traditional events and festivals in Thailand, according to Mr. Yuthasak. \u201cAs usual, TAT will provide support to the organising of Songkran celebrations in various destinations throughout the kingdom.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tatnews.org\/2019\/01\/experience-thai-traditions-and-cultural-values-in-thailands-annual-events-and-festivals\/\">Songkran Festival<\/a>, 13-15 April, is an event where boisterous fun and ancient traditions go hand-in-hand. For tourists, the event offers a chance to enjoy a huge celebration where water parties break out in the streets of Thailand\u2019s towns and villages. For locals, it is a time when they can spend precious moments with their families and visit the temples to observe ancient rites and make merit.<\/p>\n<p>Other notable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tatnews.org\/2019\/01\/experience-thai-traditions-and-cultural-values-in-thailands-annual-events-and-festivals\/\">events and festivals<\/a> scheduled during the period include the World Wai Kru Muay Thai Ceremony on 17 March in Ayutthaya and the uniquely local Poi Sang Long Festival (held during March or April) in the northern province of Mae Hong Son.<\/p>\n<p>The list of countries eligible for the visa-on-arrival fee waiver until 30 April:<\/p>\n<p>Citizens of Andora, Bulgaria, Bhutan, China including Taiwan, Cyprus, Ethiopia, Fiji, India, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Maldives, Malta, Mauritius, Papua New Guinea, Romania, San Marino, Saudi Arabia, Ukraine and Uzbekistan will be exempted from the 2,000 Baht visa-on-arrival fee for the purpose of touring in Thailand for not more than 15 days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is pleased to announce that the Royal Thai Government has approved the extension of the visa-on-arrival fee waiver for citizens of 20 countries until 30 April.
