Knowing your Thai astrological sign
Legend has it that Buddha, before his departure at the New Year, asked all the animals to come and honour him, and that twelve instead of all of them came to the gathering to bid him farewell.
The first is the Rat, then the Buffalo, the Tiger, the Cat, the Dragon, the Snake, the Horse, the Goat, the Monkey, the Rooster, the Dog and lastly the Pig.
To thank them greatly for their presence, he chose, according to the order of their arrival, a year of the lunar cycle and assigned one to each of them. This explains the signs of the twelve animals that are still used today with an endless 12-year cycle.
Since then, no change has altered the description of each animal of Chinese astrology, used by millions of people in the East.
