Thai serpent

Lunar New Year celebrations in Thailand are indeed a lively mix of Thai and Chinese cultural influences, and the Year of the Snake in 2025 will hold a significant meaning in both Thai and Chinese cultures, bringing the two together for a special celebration.

The Naga, a serpent-like creature in Thai mythology, plays an essential role in Thai culture as a symbol of protection, power, and transformation. In Chinese tradition, the Snake is associated with wisdom, intuition, and resilience, often linked to prosperity and abundance. The serpent’s connection to water in both cultures underscores its association with life-giving resources, highlighting the themes of renewal a positive start to the new year and good fortune that are central to the Lunar New Year. The snake is the 6th animal from the 12 signs of the zodiac.
