PHUKET: The Phuket Vegetarian Festival continued into Day 5 of the nine-day festival last Sunday (Oct 10) with devotees and Ma Song spirit mediums from the Tha Reua Shrine staging a street procession through Phuket Town to Saphan Hin.

 

As is the ‘new normal’ for the Vegetarian Festival this year, the Ma Song and their assistants travelled by motorcade on the backs of flat-bed trucks and pickups instead of walking the traditional route to the Chinese temple at Saphan Hin.

 

Also in accordance with ‘new normal’ protocols to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the Ma Song and their assistants taking part in the street procession were asked by the Tha Reua Shrine administrators to ensure no facial piercings were observed this year.

Is this how you dress when you stop eating meat and become a hardcore vegetarian ? Think I'll give it a miss, we only have 1 pinny and that's the wife's.

Doesn't look normal to me... rather scary in-fact.
