PHUKET: The Phuket City Traffic Police are urging motorists to avoid certain roads and areas that will be closed to traffic this week while street processions are held for this year’s Phuket Vegetarian Festival.
 

The first street procession for this year’s nine-day festival will begin on Monday (Sept 30) with the first “Yew Keng” procession held at the Choor Su Gong Shrine, better known as the Naka Shrine, in Wichit, starting at 8am. (See story here.)

 

“We expect the processions to affect traffic. Processions may cause big traffic delays on many roads in Phuket Town, especially the processions along Phuket Rd,” said Lt Col Pongpob Prasoppichai, Deputy Superintendent of the Phuket City Traffic Police.
