I direct keep to say, equally a seasoned traveler, too viii twelvemonth resident of Phuket, the Phuket Vegetarian Festival is a existent buzz. The street processions are too thus amount of life, amount of noise, amount of people, amount of magic... too what goes on inwards the temples at nighttime is almost other worldly. There is something exceptional going on here, this is no show, this is non brand believe. This is real real.
I would nonetheless similar to come across to a greater extent than inwards the future, in that location is too thus much to sense during the festival. Over the final calendar week I direct keep been sticking to the Jae nutrient (albeit washed downwardly amongst a few beers), too I direct keep been into Phuket Town on 2 mornings for the street processions. The processions outset early, around seven - 7:30am, nearly every morning time during the festival. In the evenings at diverse shrines are such activities equally burn walking too "bladed ladder climbing", precisely I never appear to direct keep fourth dimension to come across all that.
I took to a greater extent than than 250 photos, too thus this weblog post service mightiness larn a flake long.... I volition seek to endure selective. These pictures were all taken during the processions on 17th too 18th Oct from the Jui Tui Shrine too Kathu Shrine. Oh, too if yous don't direct keep a fast network connection, sorry. Get one.
For to a greater extent than data almost the festival too links to my photos too weblog posts over several years - come across Phuket Vegetarian Festival Introduction
The photos inwards a higher house were all from the 17th - the street procession from Jui Tui shrine, ane of the largest inwards Phuket, constitute close the marketplace position inwards Phuket Town. The next solar daytime was the procession of Kathu Shrine. They genuinely walk from Kathu into town (about 7km) earlier starting the walk around town. I followed this procession final twelvemonth (see Phuket Vegetarian Festival 2006). Next twelvemonth I genuinely must larn to the shrine at 5am too come across what goes on inwards the wee hours earlier the procession.
On amongst the show....
After all that, I am quite exhausted! Now that the festival is over, I must tell a steak would endure nice. The Phuket Vegetarian Festival is something non to endure missed - dates for 2008 : 28 September - seven October. Hope to come across yous inwards Phuket!
