The event will be held at the Bang Maruan Lagoon, which is located next to the site of the old Bang Maruan Mine in the center of the island, from November 4 to 6.

“Locals really take pride in this festival. It brings people together and allows them to celebrate their ancestors and reflect on where they came from, said Srisoonthorn Mayor Worrawut Songyot. more at phuketgazette.net
