Phuket Veg Fest food frenzy turns rancid: Sacred shrines face hygiene havoc

[snoop1130]

 

A shocking revelation unfolded as revered Phuket Veg Fest food shrines were found in breach of food hygiene standards. This news has undoubtedly rocked the faith of the local Thai community and tourists alike who flock to these places of worship and food consumption, particularly during festivals.

 

The local authorities are yet to comment on the situation and the measures that will be taken to rectify these hygiene issues.

 

The new year will usher in a new rule for Thailand’s nightlife lovers. Bars and clubs across the country will now close their doors at 4am, marking a significant change in the nation’s nocturnal culture.

 

The government’s decision is seen as an attempt to curb the escalating incidents of untoward occurrences related to late-night revelry. However, the impact this new rule will have on the country’s vibrant party scene remains to be seen.

 

In an exciting development for shopaholics and food enthusiasts, certain streets of Thailand will transform into Chartered Walking Street markets.

Thailand and food hygiene especially if outside or mass parties are always questionable.

My local temple has a night food market every evening..

food preparation, cooking and cleaning plates and utensils after is of the lowest concern...

I've never had a serious problem in 20 odd years of Thailand extended visits.

 

There has been the odd occasion right at the start where I had to reach for the Disento. Remember that? In the yellow packs? They stopped making it a couple of years ago unfortunately. It was instant cure.
