Sansiri and SCB Continue 14-Year Support for Phuket Vegetarian Festival
Sansiri and Siam Commercial Bank have renewed their partnership to support the Phuket Vegetarian Festival for the 14th consecutive year, focusing on community engagement and sustainable tourism.
On October 2, 2026, Sansiri Public Company Limited and Siam Commercial Bank (SCB) announced the continuation of their support for the annual Phuket Vegetarian Festival, marking the 14th year of their collaboration. The initiative, hosted at the Jui Tui Tao Bo Geng Shrine, operates under the theme 'Continuing Goodness, Growing Sustainably.'
This partnership aims to foster inclusive growth by connecting the private sector with local communities. Key objectives for this year include mobilizing volunteers from six local shrines to manage waste reduction and support community-led activities. According to Uthai Uthaisangsuk, President of Sansiri, the long-term commitment reflects the company's dedication to growing alongside the Phuket community. Beyond cultural preservation, the project seeks to bolster Phuket’s status as a 'Global Festival City,' aiming to balance economic development with environmental and cultural conservation.
For residents and travelers, this festival is a significant cultural event that draws large crowds to Phuket. Visitors should expect increased activity around major shrines and potential traffic adjustments in the vicinity of festival sites. While the organizers have outlined their commitment to waste management and community support, specific details regarding the full schedule of events or potential impacts on local transportation routes remain subject to local announcements. Travelers are encouraged to check local updates for the most current information on festival activities.
