About
For Thai-Chinese people, the New Year isn't complete without "Kaae Chong" (fixing your zodiac luck). Wat Mangkon is the most important temple in Chinatown. Inside, the smoke from thousands of incense sticks creates a mystical atmosphere. Worshippers come here to pray to Tai Sui (the God of Fortune) for protection in the coming year. The architecture, adorned with red lanterns and intricate dragons, is stunning.
