What to expect

Join the "Jay" festival with an insider! Get a close-up observation at the deities procession, visit the shrine, eat vegan "Jay" lunch and street food. An immersive experience not to be missed!

Step into the world of the Phuket Vegetarian Festival, an immersive and soul-stirring experience that transcends the ordinary. Join us on a spiritual odyssey that will leave you enlightened and inspired.

"Kin" (or ggin) means 'to eat' in Thai, while "Jay" is referred to the strict no-meat dietary that is beyond normal vegan/vegetarian. Phuket is well-known for its widely celebration of this annual festival. Many restaurants that usually sell meat even closed their doors during this 9-day long ceremony. If you're in Phuket, you're in luck!

Come with us on this small-group (max 8 pax) tour that will take you into the deeper understanding behind Jay festival.

Partial proceeds will be donated to Chinese shrines in Phuket.
