Generally NOT a good time to be on the road in Thailand as there are convoys of mini buses taking Chinese families on holidays.
They usually hit the road for about a week so be warned roads are very busy if not thick with traffic; plus accommodation is often fully booked out for that mad week.
On the positive side Lisu New year is always on at the same time & almost any Lisu village is worth a visit (on the right day.)
For the record Chinese New Year
