Well this twelvemonth I wanted to run across something dissimilar during the festival. I acknowledge to existence a lazy man child sometimes, only today I was awake earlier dawn together with headed to Kathu Shrine earlier 6am to sentinel the source of the procession to Phuket Town, together with hopefully run across some confront piercing unopen up. Actually, the give-and-take "piercing" does non depict what happens. Something similar "skewering" or "mutilation" powerfulness survive better! I am non squeamish, but... hint, if y'all are squeamish, I propose heading to a dissimilar page on this blog!
It was difficult to run across within the shrine, only the "Ma Song" were coming out inwards diverse stages of trance, together with faces were duly threaded amongst knives, swords, guns, all mode of strange shaped metallic pieces. You'd necessitate twenty pairs of eyes to run across all that was going on there. I was amongst a friend, Phil, who is manager of the Helicam companionship inwards Phuket, together with then he's a "pro" photographer, only this was novel to him too! Thanks for Phil for lending me a Canon G7 camera. Some photos were taken amongst the G7, some amongst my trusty Powershot. Some photos taken yesteryear Phil. By adjacent year, I would similar to upgrade to a bigger, amend camera. These pocket-size lenses induce got problem inwards depression light. Enough tech talk.
All photos below were taken this morn inwards Kathu Shrine or every bit the procession started out of Kathu Village heading towards Phuket Town. I also induce got some video (the Powershot has a basic video function) - this volition survive added afterward along amongst some pics from Phuket Town. This is really existent stuff, no excuse for lazing on the beach together with missing it. Well worth planning a vacation to Phuket around it. The Phuket Vegetarian Festival rocks!
