The 2013 Vegetarian Festival. I spent a day following the Vegetarian Festival, from my local Chinese Temple to the streets. It was one of the most interesting days of my life! เทศกาลกินเจ

*** Warning: Contains extreme piercings ***
The festival is held anually in Phuket, Krabi and many other parts of Southern Thailand. This footage is from the 2013 Festival in Krabi Town.

Many types of objects used in these piercings, I saw people pierced with beach umbrellas, garden tools, flowers, palm leaves, swords and many other things. Seeing this live gives a fascinating insight into Thai culture and traditions, and you'll certainly remember this part of your Thai holidays. I think it's one of the bloody best things to do in Krabi Thailand.


The Phuket Vegetarian Festival is held in many places around the South of Thailand including Phuket, Krabi, Trang and Songkhla, pretty much anywhere you find Thai people of Chinese origin. The festivities are held every year in October.

If you're looking into Thailand Hotels have a look at hotels and resorts in Krabi. The islands and beaches of Krabi are famous for Thailand holidays, the movie The Beach was filmed on a Krabi's Koh Phi Phi Island.

Krabi is about 2-3 hours from Phuket by land or sea, and has world class accommodation standards comparable to what you find in Phuket hotels and resorts, but in a more relaxed environment.
