Head to the Phuket 420 Island Fest on Koh Sirey

What is it?

A beachside cannabis festival on Sunrise Beach, bringing together growers, brands and the wider community.

Why we love it

Like that sweet scent of left-handed cigarettes? This one leans into the culture. The ‘420’ code traces back to a long-standing legend – five students meeting after school on April 20, 1971 – but here in Phuket, the vibe is more about community than mythology. Expect reggae beats, sea air and a relaxed crowd browsing stalls and chatting with local producers. It’s lively, but never overwhelming.

Time Out tip

Head over before sunset, then stay as the music picks up. A good call if you want something social without the full beach club intensity.
