The China Town of Pattani

The Chinese community in Pattani has a rich history that dates back to the 18th century. As Pattani was an important trading hub for the neighbouring countries, the Chinese merchants saw the opportunity and started settling in the area. The Chinese community in Pattani was not only involved in trade but also played an essential role in the development of the city. One of the most significant events that the Chinese community celebrates in Pattani is the Chinese New Year. The celebrations start a week before the actual New Year's Day, and the streets are decorated with red lanterns and banners. The Chinese temples in Pattani are also beautifully decorated during this time, and the people offer prayers to their ancestors.##pattaniheritage ##pattanitourism ##mytripvlog ##chinatown
