Nine Emperor Gods Festival
A nine-day celebration of purity, good health, and compassion, unique to Phuket’s Chinese-Thai community.
It begins on the first evening of the ninth lunar month in the Chinese calendar and is rooted in the Taoist worship of the Nine Emperor Gods.
The tradition dates back nearly 200 years, when a Chinese opera troupe in Phuket fell ill during an epidemic, adopted a vegetarian diet, prayed to the gods, and miraculously recovered, inspiring this enduring annual festival.
