Muslims make up around 30% of the population in Phuket, where the migrant Malays originally settled. Islamic festivals are really famous on this resort island, especially the Eid al-Fitr festival, known as ‘the festival of breaking the fast’. 

 

This is an important day, when family and friends get together and celebrate, after a month of abstinence from food and drink during daylight hours.

In the morning, people here traditionally dress in their best attire to attend the festival and to take part in Eid prayers at the mosque.
