Thailand: A garlanded participant in a procession during the Vegetarian Festival in Phuket Town, a so-called Mah Song or spirit medium, his cheeks ritually pierced with garden scissors. The Vegetarian Festival is a religious festival annually held on the island of Phuket in southern Thailand. It attracts crowds of spectators because of many of the unusual religious rituals that are performed. Many religious devotees will slash themselves with swords, pierce their cheeks with sharp objects and commit other painful acts. The Nine Emperor Gods Festival is a nine-day Taoist celebration beginning on the eve of 9th lunar month of the Chinese calendar.
