Pattaya is preparing to hold the vegetarian festival at the Sawang Boriboon Dhamma Sathan Rescue Foundation from September 25th to October 5th.

 

Local media traveled to the foundation today, September 23rd, to get a glimpse of the upcoming vegetarian festival, which is held annually between September to October to promote vegetarianism as an alternative to animal killing.

 

For this year, the festival will be held at the Sawang Boriboon Dhamma Sathan Rescue Foundation in Pattaya as usual. Vendors from across the city are already seen setting up their stalls around the foundation, preparing to either sell or donate their vegan products to expected thousands of visitors.

Yep, but perhaps an improvement over several stages of high impact music?

Vegetable festival seems so benign as a notion until the piercings start to occur. The cucumber float must be popular by comparison.

If you want to witness the real Vegetarian Festival, visit Phuket. The dates are the same and many events to observe.. Well worth the effort.

 

It's quite far to be called the "Pattaya" festival. How are tourists going to get there and back?  I'd check it out if it was in town - like maybe on beach road where all the other festivals are held. 

 

Are insects allowed to eat?

No. This is a vegan festival.  No animals products, so no eggs, fish sauce or insects. 

 

 

Is this perhaps why the restaurant i was at last night was quiet... it is seafood and usually  packs them in Sunday evening?
