It just gets crazier as the days go by. With the shackles off this year (last year the festivities were subdued due to the impending grand Funeral for HM King Bhumibol Adulyadej), the Vegetarian Festival is back up to full speed. The impression we get is that the Ma Song and the procession groups are trying to reach new heights of size and complexity of the piercings.

Here’s a gallery of photos from processions in Phuket Town for Day Four of the nine day festival.
