Phuket Old Town Festival begins today | Thaiger

PHUKET: The annual three-day Phuket Old Town Festival kicks off this evening with a parade to celebrate the unique culture of Phuket’s residents.

With Queen Sirikit Park the heart of the festivities, events will be held along Thalang Road, Soi Rommanee and Krabi Road – the heart of the Phuket Old Town area.

Tonight’s opening parade starts at 5pm at the intersection of Phang Nga Road and Kanit Hongsyok Road.

From 10:30pm until midnight tonight, Phuket City Municipality will hold a candlelit ceremony to pray for good fortune in front of the dragon statue at Queen Sirikit Park.

The festival will last through the weekend.
