Site of the regatta is Nai Harn Bay. The Phuket Gay Festival 2000 Begins on November 9. We welcome the Gay and Lesbian communities around the world to join with us, starting with the Beach Volley Ball Tournament, and the first events on November 9, and finishing with the Grand Phuket Gay Parade on November 12. The most picturesque of the Thai festivals is held on the full-moon of the 12th lunar month. Little candle-lit krathongs are launched onto the water as an offering to Mother Water.
People apologise for polluting the water and promise to do better in the future.
