Festivals of Phuket are exciting, sometimes bizarre spectacles - certainly never bland. The island's most distinctive event is the annual Vegetarian Festival featuring processions of mediums performing shocking acts of self-mortification as a test of faith. This bazaar of the bizarre is held annually over 9 days in the ninth lunar month of the Chinese calendar.
Songkran festival, the festival of ‘water-throwing' is the most celebrated of all Thai festivals.
Celebrated all over the country The festival is celebrated every year on April the 13 th in Phuket and takes only one day and is a big moment of joy and amusement.
Songkran originally a Sanskrit word remembers us anyway that it is in the first place a religious celebration because the meaning is start of a new solar year. It's now called simply New Year. The day before the festival is also called ‘the public Springtime cleansing day'. The house wives get rid of all old domestic items they don't use anymore and they burn it, This way the landlord is saved against the ‘bad eye'.

 

Loy Kratong Festival:

Full Moon Day or Wan Loy Kratong is held on full moon night each November, Thai people prepare small round boats or kratong made from the trunk of a banana tree and decorated with flowers, candles and incense. These are set to float upon the water - rivers, canals, ponds, and the sea - and prayers are uttered so that the krathong will float away, taking all bad spirits and sins along with it.

Loy Krathong is one of the most picturesque festivals in Thailand
