Vietjet Thailand Joined Phuket’s First-Ever Ganesh Chaturthi Festival promoting Indian Visitors

Vietjet Thailand proudly joined Phuket’s historic first-ever Ganesh Chaturthi Festival, reinforcing the airline’s commitment to strengthening the cultural and tourism bridge between India and Thailand. With its direct service connecting Mumbai and Phuket, Vietjet Thailand is playing a key role in making Phuket more accessible for Indian travelers to experience its festivals, traditions, and natural beauty.

On 28 August 2025, Phuket Old Town came alive with vibrant colors, devotional music, and festive celebrations as more than 10,000 people gathered for the island’s first Ganesh Chaturthi Festival procession. Following the recent completion of a magnificent Lord Ganesh Temple in Rawai, the streets were adorned with 200,000 fresh flowers and filled with the sounds of traditional Dhol Tasha drum parades, devotional dances, and heartfelt offerings. Echoing the grand festivities seen in India while introducing a new cultural dimension to Phuket, the event brought Thai and Indian communities together in a spirit of unity and devotion.

The Ganesh Chaturthi Festival not only symbolised cultural harmony but also underscored Phuket’s growing importance as a top destination for Indian travelers. Vietjet Thailand plays a vital role in this connection, with its direct flights between Mumbai and Phuket making it easier than ever for visitors from India to experience the island’s vibrant celebrations, unique traditions, and world-renowned hospitality.
