The temple fair, which is one of the biggest in Phuket, will this year include between 600 and 700 stores from many provinces across Thailand.
As well as funfair during the day, there will be activities in the evening, including shooting stalls, balloon darts, ferris wheel, merry go rounds and others.
Stalls selling food, clothes, plants and handicrafts will also be present.
Chalong Mayor Samran Jindapol said committees had been set up to make sure prices were set, so no one would be ripped off. Sellers needed to display signs which showed the product prices, he said.
“Everyone is invited to come and join this event to make merit and pay their respects at the temple. Come and enjoy the delicious food and live music and entertainment too,” he said.
There will also be shadow puppet performances plus live concerts each night from Thai bands.
Besides, the shadow puppet play or Nang Talung from well-known different bands will be performed each night and also there will be night live concerts from famous Thai artists.
