Nine days from the 1st of the 9th Chinese lunar month — ~mid-October 2026; sources vary, confirm with local shrines/TAT Phuket closer to the date. The placeholder keeps the calendar useful, but this page intentionally omits Event date schema until the edition is confirmed.
Why route around it
What makes it worth the stop
- Devotees (mah song) in trance with dramatic body-piercing and fire-walking
- Smoke- and firecracker-filled shrine processions through Phuket Town
- Yellow-flagged stalls serving inventive 100% vegan jay food
Plan the stop
Practical notes
- Wear white if joining festival events; the rituals can be intense and graphic
- Ear protection helps — firecracker volleys are constant during processions
- Old Phuket Town shrines (Jui Tui, Bang Neow) are the focal points
