PM appears on TikTok to wish Thais a ‘healthy, prosperous’ Year of the Ox
Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha went on widely popular TikTok on Wednesday to wish Thais for Chinese New Year.
The prime minister’s TikTok account name is “Thai Khu Fah”.
“I pray to all sacred things in the world to bestow upon Chinese and Thai people health and prosperity,” he said.
In Chinese culture and in East Asian countries, the festival is commonly referred to as the Spring Festival, as the spring season in the lunisolar calendar traditionally starts with “lichun”, the first of the 24 solar terms which the festival celebrates around the time of the Lunar New Year.
This year, 2021, is the Year of the Ox.
