Phuket’s Vegetarian Festival again

Seems that the Phuket Vegetarian Festival piercings are becoming weirder and weirder each year.

It was a pleasant surprise to see more of the spiritual side today – not sure if I was off the main route or not.

I stood next to a gorgeous old lady who joyfully received blessings from a passing parade of trance-like god carriers (not all pierced). She bubbled over with joy and shared some with me.

The local businesses were being blessed too.  Quite a party atmosphere.
