Talking of the legend of the dragon and lion dances in Thailand, Chiraphat Wilaiphong explained: “China sent lion dance groups to Thailand as a tribute to His Majesty King Taksin the Great. The dragon and lion are two auspicious animals that are used as talismans in events to bring good luck, prosperity and wealth. Each dance performance has a different meaning, and it can take more than two years of practice before we are able to perform them.”The China Cultural Centre in Bangkok is bringing arts and cultural performances from Hebei and Hangzhou to Central Chidlom. At Central Embassy, shoppers can indulge in cultural Chinese performances, have their photos taken in traditional costume for a photo souvenir and join in the 3D printed dog workshop at The Balcony, Level 2. Open House on Level 6 will offer fun workshops with dog bandanas and masks to make on February 17 and 18.
