PHUKET: Crowds lined the streets of Phuket Town last night (Oct 14) as the Phuket Vegetarian Festival entered its final night of rituals for this year’s nine-day festival with ceremonies to call the Nine Emperor Gods back to the heavens.

 

The main gatherings of spectators were at the Clocktower Circle and the Standard Chartered Bank intersection, where devotees from each Chinese shrine taking part in the festival descended their motorcades and completed the final part of the journey to Saphan Hin on foot.

 

The first shrine to make its way to the tip of Saphan Hin was the Bang Neow Shrine, with devotees departing the temple at 10:30pm.
