Cinco de Mayo celebrates the anniversary of Mexico’s victory over the Second French Empire. Nobody likes the French anyway, so here’s where to go for Cinco de Mayo in Bangkok.
Annually held on May 5, Cinco de Mayo is the day when Mexico won against the Second French Empire at unexpected odds at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. It’s celebrated now in some parts of Mexico, as well as all over the world, highlighting Mexican heritage and culture. Everything such as food, music, and even parades is busted out to commemorate the occasion. Let’s see where to do just that and celebrate Cinco de Mayo in Bangkok.
