PHUKET: The Jui Tui Shrine, one of the main Chinese shrines in the heart of Phuket Town that takes part in the Phuket Vegetarian Festival each year, has banned any food and other vendor stalls from being set up in front of the temple along Ranong Rd to avoid any further outbreak of COVID-19 infections.

 

The confirmation came via a public notice issued by the shrine administrators yesterday (Sept 22).

 

The move marks the first time any administrators of Chinese shrines in Phuket that serve as a focal point of activities during the annual festival banning food stalls or other market vendors from setting up in front of the temple during the festival.
