Jui Tui Tao Bo Keang Temple in PhuketPhuket Vegetarian Festival
Jui Tui Tao Bo Keang Temple is at its busiest during the Phuket Vegetarian Festival, which lasts 9 days each year during October. This festival, also known as Nine Emperor Gods Festival, is celebrated at every Chinese temple in Phuket but the largest celebrations on the island takes place at the Jui Tui Tao Bo Keang Temple.
During the festival most of the island’s restaurants are closed and large amounts of vegetarian food, often presented to look like meat, is sold from street stalls. The best known attraction during the festival is when devotees piece their cheeks with a wide variety of objects. The piecing is largely bloodless as the participants have generally prepared a hole for objects to pass through in advance.
