Patong City Municipality announced yesterday the return of the much-awaited 38th Phuket Tourism Festival, scheduled to unfold from December 8 to 10. This announcement marks the heralding of the island's vibrant tourism season. The festival, with its theme ‘Phuket Memories of a Lifetime,' was unveiled during a press conference at Patong Beach.

 

The press conference was led by Phuket Vice Governor Adul Chuthong, with Patong Deputy Mayor Lalita Maneesri and other prominent figures including Weerawit Kreuasombat, President of the Patong Entertainment Business Association, and Patong Police Chief Police Colonel Chalermchai Hirasawat, in attendance.

 

Patong Municipality has set its sights on positioning Patong Beach as a top-tier tourist attraction during the high season. With its unmatched natural beauty, vibrant cultural traditions, and exceptional hospitality, Patong Beach is ready to welcome visitors from around the globe. “Our aim is to draw both Thai and international visitors, reinforcing Phuket's image as a ‘city of happiness and fun’", said Vice Governor Chuthong.

 

 

The three-day merriment will be held at Bangla Square, located at the end of Bangla Road on Patong Beach, beginning daily at 10am. One of the main attractions will be the Grand Parade, featuring bright and elaborately decorated floats from major local venues such as Phuket FantaSea, Carnival Magic, Simon Cabaret, and Andamanda Water Park.

 

Adding to the jovial ambiance, local artists and renowned performers will light up a stage set up along the beach. Visitors will also be treated to cultural displays and a variety of local products, offering a glimpse into the area's unique arts and crafts.

 

"Visitors can explore a wide range of arts, crafts, and merchandise from community groups, bolstering the local economy while encouraging sustainable tourism," the Vice Governor noted.
