Phuket Vegetarian Festival Held in Thailand – Scaled-Down Celebrations This Year

The Phuket Vegetarian Festival is an annual festival that takes place in the 9^th month of the lunar calendar. While this is celebrated in other parts of Thailand as well, it’s considered to be the most auspicious affair in Phuket. The event was hosted on a much smaller scale from the 5^th to the 15^th of October 2021 with restrictions on the number of attendees along with many safety and contract tracing protocols being enforced.

Many a Phuket resort geared up for the advent of tourists during such a time as well by ensuring they had taken the relevant measures to procure a SHA+ certification such as Anantara Mai Khao Phuket Villas. While the festival was hosted without fireworks this time around, it was still a raging success. The island seems to be returning to its pre-pandemic vigour and pace and the strictly enforced COVID-19 safety protocols are improving the confidence of tourists to book their holiday in Phuket.
