PHUKET:
An inexpensive array of eye-catching handmade ornamental products from
around the region and a wide range of locally-made “blue-flag” edible
products are currently on sale at Saphan Hin in Southern Phuket until
July 2.
The rows of colorful stalls were set up over the weekend
for the first ‘Good Food, 4 Regions & Blue Flag Festival’, which
has been organized by the Phuket provincial and Phuket Commercial
Affairs Office (PCAO) to promote local and regional products.
One
side of the temporary market is dedicated to stalls selling traditional
handicrafts, such as handmade flowers, artistic earthenware pots, model
ships and other ornamental items. On the opposite side, visitors can
sample from a plethora of snacks and food products, such as chili
pastes, dried fruits and noodles.
All the food products are on
display under the ‘blue-flag’ insignia, meaning they are certified by
the authorities as clean, safe and for sale at local prices.
There
are 155 individual stalls in total, each of them selling products from
a particular region. According to PCAO representative Yuawabha
Pongkheha, the food products are selling very well.
“There is no
charge to enter the festival area. It has been organized to help
stimulate the economy and is being supported by the Government Savings
Bank,” Ms Yuawabha added.
