Phuket Vegetarian Festival kicks off with traditional ceremony
The Phuket Vegetarian Festival began with the raising of Go Teng poles at participating shrines. The Guan Yu Shrine in Chalong hosted the ceremony and will have three street parades during the festival. The second parade will involve vehicles as it travels from Guan Yu Shrine to Karon. The third parade is expected to cause traffic congestion along Chao Fa East Road.
