Thais of Chinese ancestry in Phuket have held the Vegetarian Festival since ancient times. Participants would abstain from sins, meditate and forgo the consumption of all meats and only eat vegetables and fruits. The festival has evolved to become a major event of the province, which draws thousands of spectators every year. Contact Tourism Authority of Thailand for further details.
