Concept : Inspired by the tourism in Chinatown, the integration between Thailand and China, and the legend of Chang’e, the goddess of the Moon. Among Chinese farmers in ancient China, it was believed that since the Moon has an influence on tides, they should respect the God who blesses them with it. For that reason, worshiping and showing gratitude towards Chang’e on a full moon became a common practice. The color pink, green, and white are thus used to represent the story and the ritual. The full moon also symbolizes the bond and unity between family members.
