Phuket.Net - Phuket Vegetarian Festival

The Phuket Vegetarian Festival is an annual festival, held during the 9th lunar month on the traditional Chinese calendar.

2011-10-22
PHUKET, THAILAND, October 22, 2011 (Press-News.org) The Vegetarian festival and the rituals involved are believed to give good luck to those who take part. This is for those who are of Chinese heritage, who will observe a strict vegetarian diet or alternatively a vegan diet. The event is designed to cleanse the soul, along with the rituals that are performed at temples. Visitors to the area can sample some of the traditional vegetarian foods that will be on offer at the restaurants and street stalls.

Phuket has many hotels which cater for a variety of needs. Low-cost budget options are popular as they are comfortable and basic. However there are also many hotels which offer more in the way of luxury facilities. As events are taking place all over the city visitors will never be too far away from the festivities and the public transport in the city is excellent.

The Head of Marketing at Phuket.Net says, "Phuket hotels fill very quickly throughout the year so accommodation arrangements need to be made in advance. The Phuket Vegetarian Festival brings even more people into the city and therefore those who are making the trip need to be sure of their rooms."
