Another interesting tidbit we ran across. Every year there is a 10-day vegetarian festival in Thailand. Apparently there are many street-vendors that sell delicious vegetarian food for the duration--sounded good to us! There is also a religious processesion that visits a series of temples and monks (I believe?) pierce their cheeks with all manor of swords and other sharp objects. This aspect of the festival I found, to be honest, pretty disturbuing. Aaaaand here are some pictures!
Right now our plan is to be in Thailand for next year's festival (though we probably won't be in phuket). Should be interesting.
