Based on your choice of season and time, you may enjoy the water fights with the locals, rest upon a remote beach or even explore the anguishing fest.
For all the crazy travelers, it is advisable to visit Phuket during the Thai New Year Season in the month of April. This season marks the onset of the famous water fights, which has been transformed over time from simple pouring to a battle. Such is the intensity of this brawl that the native islanders crave their all for this sport.
The Thai Festive New Year, known as Songkran, starts on April 13th and continues till April 15th where the latter is the chosen day for this heavily intense battle. Patong is the wildest venue for this event, which comprises water guns, buckets, hose pipes and even barrels of water carried by the people upon the trucks throughout the islands. This crazy event draws the attention of the youth, the old, males and females and even locals and the foreigners. So if you are not into wet and intense stuff, then you can preferably choose to stay out of this when you visit Phuket.
Now, the Phuket Vegetarian Festival, which will be a whole rejuvenated experience kick, starts in the month of October. The entrants involving both men and women move around the streets having their cheeks pierced with sharp objects like needles, spears, knives and many other things. These people are said to experience no pain and makes it all the more exciting and interesting. However, this is not meant for you, if you are prudish.
The vegetarian festival opens the doors for exploring the most unique and tasty vegetarian foods even shutting down the supply of meat in the local restaurants. The last day of this festival is most uniquely followed in Saphan Hin where firecrackers are burnt along with the native Maa song being sung by the huge procession through the Phuket Town.
If you enjoy Chinese food, then you can visit Phuket during the Chinese New Year in the month of February. The New Year’s Eve is quite enjoyable in Patong, where the brilliant display of firecrackers along the beach often turns into a mess up.
