Phuket Food Festival 2008

The Phuket Food Festival 2008 started on 19th March and runs until the 28th. It's an annual event organized by the Phuket Food Vendors Club and Phuket City Municipality. There's around 50 or 60 stalls selling everything from Phad Thai to BBQ Fresh Water Prawns, fried fish, Sai Ua (spicy northern sausages), Satay sticks and much more.

The Phuket Food Festival event is being held annually at Sapan Hin, in the south of Phuket City. Many local events are held there during the year as Sapan Hin is by the sea, has lots of open spaces, and also features extensive sports facilities.

This festival is well worth a look. The food is good and cheap, a great chance to sample many different dishes and get a bit of local life. This is very much a local Phuket event, organized and run by locals for locals. It'll be on my calendar for next year for sure.
