Pattaya — The exciting Pattaya Vegetarian Festival is about to begin this weekend, running from October 14th to October 24th, 2023.


This festival, rooted in Taoism, revolves around honoring the Nine Emperor Gods. Locally known as ‘Jai Chai,’ meaning ‘Eat Vegetables,’ it’s believed that avoiding meat while praying can lead to a deep cleansing of the mind, body, and spirit. The festival typically falls in October, following the Chinese calendar’s waxing moon cycle. Apart from Phuket, Pattaya is one of the prime spots in Thailand to experience this event.

 

The Pattaya Vegetarian Festival is typically celebrated by Chinese immigrants who evacuated a long time ago to Thailand during the Ayutthaya period for thriving trade with countries like Portugal, Holland, and France.

It cleanses the colon at any rate.  Perhaps they'l chain themselves to the doors of KFC and other carnivorous venues.  Distribute leaflets, block traffic and throw orange paint on tourists enjoying moo ping from the street carts.
