PHUKET: The Eighth Annual Phuket Local Food Festival started at Saphan Hin on Wednesday night, with delicious local delicacies being served up by Phuket Governor Chamroen Tipayapongtada.
“This is a great fair that all tourists should know about, as it shows how beautifully unique Phuket is,” Governor Chamoren said.
“Additionally, we have just been named as a UNESCO City of Gastronomy, which guarantees guests that our special culture and cuisine cannot be found anywhere else in the world.”
