Phuket has vogue to a greater extent than happening than people realise, fifty-fifty every bit a local resident I abide by it difficult to pop off along up. There are traditional festivals, at that topographic point are music as well as nutrient festivals, local street fairs, all form of things going on yr round! The most famous festival inward Phuket is the Vegetarian Festival. Phuket is also a groovy house to locomote for Songkran (the "water throwing" festival / Thai New Year). Another pop festival is Loy Krathong. The dates for the vegetarian festival as well as Loy Krathong alter every yr every bit they are based on the lunar calendar. Oct as well as Nov are proficient months to come upward to Phuket :)
The vegetarian festival is my favourite affair inward Phuket! The 2017 Phuket Vegetarian Festival was 19th - 29th October. But the festival was kept serenity this yr every bit King Bhumibol's funeral was Oct 26th. Thailand's King passed away on Oct 13th 2016. And that's in all likelihood the biggest effect inward recent years. The vegetarian festival volition locomote dorsum every bit normal 8 - xviii Oct 2018.
