Phuket Town Night Procession at Vegetarian Festival with Fireworks & Street Crowds เทศกาลกินเจ 九皇爷诞

The Phuket Vegetarian Festival, also known as 九皇爷诞 (Jiǔ Huáng Yé Dàn) in Chinese and เทศกาลกินเจ (Thetsakan Kin Je) in Thai, is an annual Taoist celebration held on the island of Phuket, Thailand. Originating 200 years ago, this vibrant festival is deeply rooted in Chinese cultural and religious traditions. Devotees participate in rituals of purification and merit-making, including processions, fire-walking, and acts of self-mortification, all aimed at invoking the Nine Emperor Gods for blessings and protection. During the festival, Phuket Town transforms into a lively spectacle of color, sound, and devotion. Streets are illuminated with lanterns, and the air is filled with the sounds of firecrackers and traditional music. The procession is a central event, featuring participants in trance-like states, symbolic acts of devotion, and a strong sense of community. This festival not only honors religious beliefs but also serves as a significant cultural event that attracts visitors from around the world, offering a unique glimpse into the rich tapestry of Thai-Chinese heritage.
