Your curated guide to Phuket’s cultural festivals, luxury dining and island nightlife.
Phuket glows under November’s first full moon as Loy Krathong returns – the night when lotus lanterns drift across the water and the island comes alive with ceremony, cuisine and celebration. From the refined beachfront ritual at The Boathouse to Dusit Thani’s gala feast beneath the stars, the island’s hotels honour tradition with elegance. Surrounding the festivities, the week unfolds in rhythm: Casa Boho hosts a spirited Melbourne Cup brunch, Trisara’s Thai Library joins forces with 80/20 for a culinary collaboration, and Illuzion welcomes Berlin’s Patrick Mason for a DJ Mag showcase. Balance the energy with creative mindfulness at Amatara’s dot-painting workshops, or indulge in the launch of the decadent Myth Brunch Buffet to close What’s on this week.
