Phuket Vegetarian Festival

The Vegetarian Festival, Phuket. Participants demonstrate their devotion through adherence to a specific diet and abstinence from sexual activity. Select few operate as mediums and use rituals and self-mutilation as a means of purification and direct misfortune away from their communities for another year.
