Wear white
It’s the traditional color of Vegetarian Festival participants, although eventually white turns to red, due to the bloodletting.
Light some joss sticks
Be sure to visit at least one temple. You can participate in this way without having to mutilate yourself.
Bring ear plugs
There are lots and lots of firecrackers going off during the Vegetarian Festival, so it's loud. In fact, most unintentional injuries are caused by them.
Getting There
Travelers can fly in to Phuket International Airport(HKT) out of Bangkok. Phuket is Thailand’s luxury beach resort island and is a regular haunt for Australians, Germans, and pan-Asian travelers.
