Por Tor is Phuket Town's Hungry Ghost observance, held in the seventh month of the Chinese lunar calendar, centred on the Seng Tek Belief Shrine on Patiphat Road and the fresh market, with red turtle cakes offered to ancestors. The 2027 shrine programme is not yet published, so this record is expected: the seventh lunar month in 2027 runs from late August into September.
