October 21, 2011 (FPRC) -- This popular Old Phuket festival is now in its 13th year and is synchronised with the Chinese New Year celebrations. The main thoroughfares for watching the festival events and displays will be along the Krabi, Thalang and Phuket roads and also the Soi Rommanee in the heart of the Old Town. Several streets will be closed to traffic during the festival, including the Soi Rommanee and Thalang Roads.
Events in the Old Phuket Festival include such colourful celebrations as the Phuket Baba Light Show, when Chinese lanterns are paraded along the dark streets. There will also be a rickshaw tour and Chinese operatic recitals, Chinese folk dancing and a variety of cultural parades.
The main celebrations officially begin at 3.00pm and go on until midnight on each day of the festival. Visitors travelling to the events by car are advised to park well away from the congested centre of town.
There are many hotels in and around Phuket that offer the perfect base for attending the many colourful events that make up this famous festival. Whether travelling singly, in a group or as a family, hotels in Phuket offer a warm welcome and amenities to make every visitor feel at home and get their holiday off to a great start.
