Year of the Horse is a time that brings families together in the spirit of gratitude, abundance, and fresh beginnings. Rooted in meaningful traditions, the season is celebrated with festive meals, symbolic rituals, and lively performances that welcome the new lunar year with hope and happiness.

Phulay Bay, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, Krabi, is preparing to mark the occasion with a refined oceanfront celebration that reflects the true essence of the festival. On 16 February, guests can gather at the Pool Lawn from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m. for a special Reunion BBQ Dinner set under the stars.

The evening unfolds in a beautiful alfresco setting overlooking the ocean. A wide selection of live cooking stations will serve both hot and cold appetisers, wok-fried noodles, hearty soups, and freshly grilled specialities. The menu features jasmine tea-smoked BBQ pork ribs, whole grilled fish, crispy pork belly, flavourful side dishes, and festive desserts, offering a generous spread inspired by Chinese culinary traditions.

Adding to the festive mood, guests will enjoy a dramatic dragon dance and fire show, while a live band performs from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m., creating a lively and joyful atmosphere for families and friends.

The celebrations continue on 17 February with a specially curated Chinese New Year breakfast. The morning begins with traditional prayers and meaningful rituals, followed by a vibrant lion dance, symbolising luck, strength, and prosperity. Together, these experiences set a positive and auspicious tone for the year ahead.

With the ocean as its backdrop and time-honoured traditions at its heart, the Year of the Horse celebrations at Phulay Bay promise moments of reflection, reunion, and renewal, welcoming the new lunar year in a setting filled with beauty and warmth.
