FESTIVAL IN AUGUST


Phukets-Por-Tor-festival

Por tor festival : The'Hungry Ghosts' festival is an important event for ethnic Chinese in Phuket's Old Town. Special food, flowers and candles are presented to their ancestors' altars in order to feed the ghosts that have been released from hell for the month. You'll see plenty of vibranty cakes in the shape of turtles, which symbolise longevity. Worshippers believe their offerings will help ward off the reaper. Held 22 August to 3 September. thailand accommodation phuket,hotels in phuket thailand
