A shopper in Chinatown, Yaowarat selects a pink T-shirt to wear for Chinese New Year celebrations. To avoid political associations, people are being urged to switch to pink from the usual red colour used for the Chinese holiday, because red has become a symbol of social division in the country.
Red is the auspicious colour traditionally worn to usher in Chinese New Year. The campaign to switch to pink has speard confusion among garment sellers and other people planning to join the festivities in Chinatown.
In my opinion, I agree with this change. Red has become to the symbol exactly and it would be confuse surely if people wear red clothes in Chinese New Year. Then another thing, it would be so cool that Thai people would wear pink clothes in Chinese New Year of this year, because the day is also Valentine Day for universal.
