This festival usually occurs around the ninth month of the lunar calendar followed by the Chinese. It is an annual affair that goes on for a few days and is celebrated in the honor of Nine Emperor Gods, by the Chinese community essentially. Occurring in and around the month of September or October, this festival attracts the natives as well as the foreigners who come to this island to witness, all that they have only read or heard about.<\/p>\n<p>This name of this vegetarian food festival can be misleading as more than a visual delight of a vegetarian food galore, it is all about abstaining from non-vegetarian foods like meat etc. and also about offering unnerving rituals that involve gory body piercing, and self-mutilating practices to express their obeisance to their almighty Gods.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Must Read:<\/strong> <a class=\"mustread-link\" href=\"https:\/\/traveltriangle.com\/blog\/direct-flights-to-phuket-male-from-delhi-mumbai\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">No More Layovers!

When they were riddled by Malaria ( it was a fatal disease then ) and were succumbing to it, the survivors took to a rigorous vegetarian diet as a form of worship and prayed ardently for a complete recovery with blessings for good health to the Nine Emperor God. Lo, behold! Their prayers were answered. So when they were completely healed, they held massive celebrations as an expression of gratitude to the Gods and to honor them with utmost reverence. These celebrations were repeated thereafter year after year, during the same period and were soon heralded as a prominent festival in Phuket. Ever since it has been expanding and shaping up into a remarkable annual occasion that is gaining popularity with people participating from all parts of the world especially Asia.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Suggested Read:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/traveltriangle.com\/blog\/islands-near-phuket\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">18 Surreal Islands Near Phuket You Should Definitely Explore In Thailand<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"Schedule\">Phuket Vegetarian Festival Schedule<\/h2>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-236398\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.traveltriangle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Phuket-Vegetarian-Festival-Schedule.jpg\" alt=\"Phuket Vegetarian Festival Schedule\" width=\"700\" height=\"457\" \/><\/div>\n<p><a class=\"imagesource-link\" href=\"https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/e\/ef\/Face_Piercing_Phuket_Vegetarian_Festival_13.jpg\/800px-Face_Piercing_Phuket_Vegetarian_Festival_13.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Image Source<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This festival is celebrated on the roads in the form of mammoth processions that have all the participants displaying their endurance of pain by piercing and self-mutilating their bodies in various ways using razor-sharp weapons like blades, swords, iron rods and so on to name a few.

Here, more than the fun and frolic, there is a lot of reverence wherein celebrations involve tolerance of pain than pleasure.<\/p>\n<p>A word of caution for all the vegetarians who are drawn to this festival. Please fasten your seat belts and muster your courage to witness the bloodshed and bewildering scenarios that involve incredible skin piercings, fire walking, etc. The Astonishing sights of burning coal and walking on it barefoot, tongue slashing, and other extremities that the participants perform leave even the brave heart spectators baffled and gasping for breath.<\/p>\n<p>All the piercings and other mutilations occur under the expert guidance of medical staff that is already present in the temples. This vegetarian festival in Phuket, Thailand is one of the most revered festivals in South East Asia attracts not only participants from all over Asia but also a bevy of tourists who have the mettle to see it all and take it in their stride.<\/p>\n<p>Performing in this festival is the expression of the devoutness of the religious minded Chinese and South East Asians, who can go to any extreme to demonstrate their reverence. When they participate in fire walking or ladder climbing or piercing with weapons like knives, razors, guns, etc. they ensure that these performances are carried out without the use of anesthesia or analgesics. It is their endurance of the pain occurring from these gory practices that enact as offerings to their deities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Suggested Read:<\/strong> <a class=\"mustread-link\" href=\"https:\/\/traveltriangle.com\/blog\/romantic-things-to-do-in-phuket\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">20 Romantic Things To Do In Phuket For An Enchanting Beach Vacay With Your Loved One!<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"Masong\">Masong At Phuket Vegetarian Festival<\/h2>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-236394\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.traveltriangle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Masong-At-Phuket-Vegetarian-Festival.jpg\" alt=\"Masong At Phuket Vegetarian Festival\" width=\"700\" height=\"457\" \/><\/div>\n<p><a class=\"imagesource-link\" href=\"https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/a\/a9\/Face_Piercing_Phuket_Vegetarian_Festival_59.jpg\/800px-Face_Piercing_Phuket_Vegetarian_Festival_59.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Image Source<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The bachelors and spinsters who participate in this festival are known as Masong.
