Kathu Culture Street Festival until Sunday night

By Kritsada Mueanhawong

 

 

The tenth annual Kathu Culture Street Festival is on until Sunday night (July 29) and is being held on Wichit Songkhram Road, showcasing the cultural heritage of one of Phuket’s oldest and most vibrant communities.

 

Vice Governor Snith says, “this is the second time that I am taking part in the Kathu Culture Street Festival. The festival is important to preserve Kathu’s cultures and traditions, as well as to encourage locals and tourists to learn more about the area, it’s history and its contribution to the growth of Phuket.”

 

“Kathu has a long history of tin mining. The area is an important source of culture in Phuket, due to the diversity of cultures that have been present through the years. Kathu’s community culture has been influenced by Chinese, Indian and Malaysian cultures.”

Great. More useless otop wooden elephants and hill tribe hats.

Thanks for the warning. I live at Loch Palms and have regular Sunday morning meeting in Chalong, requiring a drive right through the street in the photo. Now will make sure to take the longer route around.

more of the endless "festivals" with stuff you can get anywhere.  Must be because they have to  take the missus out for an airing.   Trivial and so boring.

The festival business is a good racket if you are the one renting out the spaces.
