PHUKET: While many of the purification ceremonies traditionally conducted as part of the annual Phuket Vegetarian Festival have been banned this year due to health concerns under the ‘new normal’ requirements, fire-walking has been approved and will be conducted during this year’s festival.

 

Fire-walking has been specifically included in the official programme of events for the festival produced by the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), released this week. 

 

However, the other usual “ablutions of the flesh” ceremonies, including climbing bladed ladders, bathing with hot oil and walking across bridges of nails, remain missing from the official programme.
