19 FEBRUARY 2015 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: Dragon dancers wait for a woman to get money for a donation out of her purse during a Chinese New Year parade on Yaowarat Road in Bangkok. 2015 is the Year of Goat in the Chinese zodiac. The Goat is the eighth sign in Chinese astrology and “8” is considered to be a lucky number. It symbolizes wisdom, fortune and prosperity. Ethnic Chinese make up nearly 15% of the Thai population. Chinese New Year (also called Tet or Lunar New Year) is widely celebrated in Thailand, especially in urban areas that have large Chinese populations. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
