Year Of The Dragon

[M.C.H.]

No weddings no house building, wife informs me as its the Dragon year many Thais will not marry or do any house building something to do with the Thai name for a Dragon being the same as a coffin so its the year of the coffin

Is this another scam?

And i heard that the waterdragon would bring good luck and fortune! Maybe we need to go to China this year ?

Why? Better let come the hot chinese girls to Sin City as well.

Not so far for them to come to Patts to please us.Hope that

the Dragon will give all of us a very good hunting year as well.

Cheers mate.

where is Your wife from? I haven't heard anything like this Year of the dragon for being a bad year. To my experience the "normal" Thais don't even care so much for the chinese new year.. and the Thais that have chinsese origin consider this year to be one of the lucky ones. Many of the chinese couples are considered lucky to have a baby this year, since the child should be come very powerfull and succesfull. Cities like Hongkong and Singapore are expecting a huge Babyboom..

My wife is from an Isaan village (where we live) in Non Bua Lamphu province. At present there are a few houses under construction in & around the village these will be finished by the start of the Thai new year in April. I understand it is in the translation of the name Dragon into Thai that is the problem, maybe it is an Isaan thing
