HAPPENING

On 16 October 2026, Jungceylon staff and members will be at the area in front of the Tourism Authority of Thailand Phuket office, handing out drinking water and hand fans to welcome the Jui Tui Shrine procession.

The Phuket Vegetarian Festival 2026 is held from 10 to 18 October 2026. The Jui Tui Shrine (ศาลเจ้าจุ๊ยตุ่ย) procession moves through Phuket Town on the morning of 16 October, and our staff will be on the route.

Come and find us!

Where does the festival take place?

Most of it takes place in Phuket Town, around Jui Tui Shrine on Ranong Road and Bang Neow Shrine on Phuket Road.

What should I know before watching a procession?

A few things to prepare for.

• Wear white. People taking part in the festival wear white for the full nine days, and visitors watching are welcome to do the same.

• The firecrackers are loud and close.

• Cover your arms and legs. Sparks carry. Long sleeves and closed shoes

• The street is occupied for the shrine procession. Stand clear from the main road.

• Some of the ceremonies are intense. Parts of the ritual may not suit young children.

• Photography is allowed. Keep a respectful distance and do not use flash near the shrine.

Sharing blessings and good wishes to all!
