This looks lovely but I have to admit that i will not travel to Jungceylon in Patong - but if I was a tourist and I was visiting?

Glittering Ya Ya - a celebration (13 - 19 May)

Share

The Ya Ya celebration is a celebration of the origins of the culture of Phuket.    

The celebration will take place at the Central Festival just outside Phuket Town. There will be a fashion show, a cultural performance and more - from 4pm onwards. 

There will be the Peranakan Museum in Phuket Town which will allow you to explore the culture and the history of the Baba-Nyonya people.

For a greater explanation of the cultures and of the festival - visit here.

I missed was the Phuket Old Town Festival.

Chinese New Year Celebrations in Phuket Town

Share

The Chinese New Year is certainly a celebration - we had a Chinese Dragon and firecrackers at work and then I was told that Chinese New Year lasts all month!

I decided to do a little research and found out that there was a big party in Phuket Town for three days and the roads were closed - so off I went.

A wonderful atmosphere - full of happy people - i could have asked for nothing more.

I wandered around trying to ascertain when the activities were - only to be told that the original timetable had been changed - but hey this is Thailand after all and it did nothing to dampen my spirits.

Where do I start - stalls with foods, bands playing, painted people walking the streets, children selling cloth bags, a sword fight and more.

Definitely worth a night out - a real pleasure.
