Phuket officials participated in a nationwide campaign to promote traditional Thai dress on April 3, 2026. The initiative, launched across Thailand, encouraged government workers and local leaders to wear traditional attire while conducting official duties. The campaign aimed to highlight Thai cultural heritage and foster national pride.

Local Government Response and Public Engagement

Phuket’s provincial office coordinated the effort, instructing staff to don formal Thai garments during public events and routine administrative work. Residents observed officials wearing silk outfits and regional costumes at government buildings and community gatherings.

The campaign also included informational displays on the history and significance of various Thai garments, officials said. Social media posts from the Phuket Provincial Hall featured images of participants, drawing positive attention from local audiences.
