If you are in Thailand this weekend, make your way to Phuket for a seafood extravaganza! Kicking off Friday, August 24th, in Jungceylon, Patong, seafood lovers will be in their glory. Phuket is already known for its seafood, but this festival aims to bring more awareness and build more tourism with outstanding seafood options and flavours.

Lasting until Sunday, the fiesta hours are from 3pm to 10pm with non stop entertainment and food. On Saturday there will be several competitions such as, a trainee chef cooking competition, a towel folding competition, and a classic bartender competition. Talk about fun!
On Sunday, there will be a flair bartender competition, a DIY cooking competition, the Thailand Champion Bartender Show, and a closing ceremony to end the weekend right. As you can see, the Phuket Seafood Fiesta is more than just seafood.
This video may be long, but worth checking out pieces of it to get a better idea about the festival. In 2011, the festival lasted all month long!
