Discover Phuket's most extraordinary cultural festival. Known as the Nine Emperor Gods Festival, this nine-day Taoist observance follows the Chinese lunar calendar. Across Phuket, shrines become vibrant centres of devotion as white-clad worshippers join processions, firecrackers reverberate through the streets, and yellow flags mark stalls serving jae cuisine.
Ceremonies centred on the purification of mind and body offer a powerful expression of the island’s enduring Chinese heritage. Visitors can immerse themselves in the spectacle by dressing modestly and honouring the customs of each shrine.
