Special Scary Halloween Video – Thailand piercing festival


WARNING: The video is a bit graphic. Viewer discretion is advised. Twitter: twitter. com Facebook: www. facebook. com South East Asia is amazingly cool, so it’s only suiting they have one of the world’s craziest festivals. Apparently it all started a thousand years ago when a Chinese Opera group travelled to Phuket, Thailand for a show. They became sick, and the locals suggested to wear white and eat vegetarian food as a remedy. It worked, and that’s how the festival started. How it cascaded into a pain tolerance festival, I don’t know, nor could I find any solid information on it, but those who take part in the sacred rituals are said to be blessed with good fortune. I’ll take their word for it. . . Enjoy this special scary halloween travel video Icon from Iconscollection. com

Phuket Vegetarian Festival Guy sawing tongue


Viewer Discretion Is Advised! Rate – sub – fav- thumbs up ffs Phuket Vegetarian Festival : 27 September – 05 October 2011 The Phuket Vegetarian Festival is an annual event held during the ninth lunar month of the Chinese calendar. It is believed that the vegetarian festival and its accompanying sacred rituals bestow good fortune upon those who religiously observe this rite. During this time, local residents of Chinese ancestry strictly observe a 10-day vegetarian or vegan diet for the purposes of spiritual cleansing and merit-making. Sacred rituals are performed at various Chinese shrines and temples and aesthetic displays such as walking barefooted over hot coals and ascending ladders with bladed rungs are performed by entranced devotees known as “Ma Song”.
