For nine days every October, Thailand’s largest island falls under the spell of the Phuket Vegetarian

Festival. While the celebration’s theme is self-evident, don’t think this is a low-key affair. To the

contrary, it’s a highly charged, highly spiritual offering to the Nine Emperor Gods that participants

believe will promote strong bodies and clear minds in the months that follow. In addition to the

dietary restrictions — no meat, no alcohol — various ceremonies take place around Phuket’s six

Chinese temples. Highlights include fire walking and other mind-over-matter demonstrations,

parades, and, perhaps the best part, sampling street vendors’ delicious vegetarian fare.
