Christmas is one of the most popular festivals celebrated in Thailand. This goes on to say a lot about the country where the Christians form a very small fraction of the total population. It is definitely a great time to enjoy and with the Christmas eve falling on sunday, it could not have got any better.

Ever heard of "Santa Village"? It is located 3rd floor of The Peninsula Plaza on Rajdamri Road. The creators of Santa Village say "We believe in Christmas, we believe in Santa Claus and we believe that Christmas is more then just a festive season. This is why we have created Santa Village so you can see and feel just what we mean". Wonderful place for kids - Check out what special do they have for Christmas at www.thesantavillage.com/
