Why are boats sold everywhere in Phuket in early November?

Because of loi Kratong. You can run boats at any body of water or on the beach. If you live in the south of Phuket, head to the lake near Nai Harn Beach. Traditionally, a fair and performances of local artists are held near the temple. In Phuket Town, Thais come to launch kratongs in Saphan Hin Park, where they hold a large-scale celebration with food and a concert. More family-friendly loi Kratong can be noted in the park of Rama IX. The maximum that you will meet is several trays with food and drinks, tables with kratongs from 20 to 300 baht. In the park there is no noisy performance and large crowds. In Kathu, the holiday is arranged either in the park near the old distillery, or on the dam. On Karon, it is best to go to the lake in the northern part of the beach. And if you live in the vicinity of Bangtao Beach, the festival will take place in the lakes of the Lagoon.
