Party time Phuket, with Patong as Carnival Central. Fun, fun, fun

Phuket Carnival at Patong, December 15-20

Thursday, December 10, 2009
PHUKET Carnival will be frothier and bursting with good cheer this year as Chang boosts the budget spend to 40 million baht.

For that kind of money, Patong gets five days of fun from December 15-20, with two parades and daily performances for tourists and residents.

Full name '2009 Phuket Carnival at Patong' this year divides into three zones.

At Loma Park will be booths for one-village-one-product sales, with the main stages in Loma Park and the football park opposite.

The third zone is in Soi Bangla, with dancing shows from Isarn, Bangkok, northern and southern Thailand.

Patong Mayor Pian Keesin told Phuketwan that the carnival is coming later this year to avoid the rainy season.

''About 20 Patong groups, including the jet-ski group and the tuk-tuk group, will join in the events,'' he said. He expects about 100,000 people to attend over the five days.

A few days later, on December 26, a more solemn tone will be taken as Phuket and the Andaman region mark the fifth anniversary of the 2004 tsunami.
