My Trip

Phuket's famous Nine Emperor Gods Vegetarian Festival, Thailand's most renowned. Held for nine days each lunar ninth month (usually late Sep-Oct), its Chinese-shrine processions, austerity rituals and yellow-flagged vegetarian (jay) street food across the Old Town are spectacular. A season-limited course that shows the city's identity.
