Mr. Yuthasak added, “Phuket attracts tourists from all over the world who come to enjoy the beaches, fun attractions and unique blend of culture. So we are pleased to see events planned for the rest of the year are going ahead and that people understand that the safety of tourists and visitors is always our priority. Every measure has been taken to ensure security at all events and festivals in Phuket.”Among the big events coming up in Phuket August 2016 are two annual events – the Phuket Lobster Festival and the Phuket Por Tor Festival, both will be on-going until 31 August, and a corporate social responsibility (CSR) activity, called the Trash Hero Movement, on 27 August which people can join in with cleaning up the island’s environment.
