Festival goers take part in painful body piercing in Thailand - Daily Mail

Locals in Phuket have taken the Taoist Nine Emperor Gods festival to a new level by mutilating themselves in a widely-celebrated tradition in Southeast Asia which sees participants ditch meat. While most are content with wearing white and going vegetarian for a week, some hardcore devotees show their religious strength through ritualistic self-mutilation and pain trials, including running over hot coals and piercing their bodies. The festival dates back to 1825 when a group of Chinese opera performers stricken with illness were cured when they adopted a vegetarian diet.
