Hence till today is it practiced and fortune blessings are also anticipated for the year. Phuket Vegetarian Festival 2019 will be from 29 September till 7 October this year. Here is some of what usually will occur in the days ahead during this Phuket festival.

According to a widely accepted tradition, a Chinese opera troupe (or “ngiu” іn Thai оr “tua-hee” іn Hokkien dialect) wаѕ hired frоm China tо perform іn Kathu, Phuket. Whіlе thе Chinese Opera Troupe wаѕ іn Kathu, Phuket, аn unnamed malady wаѕ spreading аnd mаnу died. Thе performers аlѕо fell sick. Thеn, thеу led thе locals tо fast аnd pay homage tо thе Jade Emperor God оr (Yoke Hong Song Teh) аnd thе Nіnе Emperor Gods оr (Kiu Hong Tаі Teh) аѕ thеу used tо dо durіng thе fіrѕt tо thе ninth оf thе ninth Chinese lunar month whеn thеу wеrе іn China. Consequently, thе epidemic afflicting thе opera troupe thеn got cured. Later, аn emissary wаѕ sent tо Kansai, China іn order tо perform a ritual tо symbolically invite thе Nіnе Emperor Gods frоm a shrine іn China tо Phuket. Alоng wіth hіm, hе brought bасk thе sacred ash іn urn, scripture, carved wooden plaque оf thе Palace оf thе North Star. So the story goes.

It іѕ believed thаt thе urn wіth sacred ash іѕ spiritualized bу thе presence оf thе Nіnе Emperor Gods. Thе Chinese descendants (or “Baba”) bесоmе аn integral constituent оf contemporary Thai society. It іѕ, іn fact, a migrant festival оf renewal аnd purification, tо cleanse thе community аnd worshipers fоr thеіr sins, tо safeguard thеіr good fortunes and to wаrd оff calamities - migration, renewal, purification аnd good fortunes.

Phuket’s Vegetarian festival began in 1825, when the governor of Thalang, Praya Jerm, moved the island’s principal town from Ta Reua in Thalang District to Get-Hoe in Kathu District where Chinese miners were. Kathu was then still covered by jungle and fever was rife. It happened that a traveling opera company (called ngiu in Thai or pua-hee in Hokkien dialect) came from China to perform for the miners. When the whole company grew sick, they kept to a vegetarian diet to honor two of the emperor gods, Kiew Ong Tai Teh and Yok Ong Sone Teh. The sickness afflicting the opera troupe. This greatly interested the people of Kathu, who asked how it was done. The answer came that ritual vegetarianism with its attendant ceremonies had been the cause, with the result that people embraced the faith enthusiastically.

Вегетарианский фестиваль на Пхукете началась в 1825 году, когда губернатор Таланг, Praya джерм, переехал главный город острова от Ta Reua в Thalang District, чтобы получить лопата в Кату округа, где китайские шахтеры были. Кату был тогда еще покрыта джунглями и лихорадка было хоть отбавляй. Случилось так, что путешествия оперная труппа (называется ngiu на тайском или Пуа-хи в Hokkien диалекте) пришли из Китая, чтобы выполнить для шахтеров. Когда вся компания росла болен, они держали на вегетарианскую диету в честь двух богов императора, Киев Онг Тай Дэ и Йок Онг Соне Дэ. Болезнь, от которых страдает оперной труппы. Это значительно заинтересовала народ Кату, который спросил, как это было сделано.

Кроме этого, ежегодный вегетарианский фестиваль Пхукет является одним для книг памяти 6/11/2012 0 Comments Phuket ScenePhuket Vegetarian Festival The Phuket scene can be fun, exciting and trilling for new arrivals but if you're lucky you might find yourself thrown in the middle of some festival and your Phuket holiday just got far better. Of the many events that take place every year on Phuket, the vegetarian festival is arguably the most colourful, not the food event implied by its name but more an annual purification ceremony. The ‘chosen ones’, or Ma Song, entering a trance like state and puncturing their faces with anything from multiple skewers to beach umbrellas. Not for the faint of heart. Around the same time as the vegetarian festival is the setting adrift of the Chao Le, sea Gypsy, boats at Krabi. The ceremony takes place at midnight and makes for a beautiful, haunting spectacle. The other festival of note is Songkran, Thai New Year, in mid April. The celebrations last for four days and have become a somewhat notorious, and embarrassing, spike on the road accident graph of Thailand. In earlier times Songkran, or ‘Water Festival’ as it is often translated, was an altogether different prospect. Thai people would leave their homes to greet friends and neighbours, anointing them with water or powder in a ‘good luck’ gesture. This gentle tradition has morphed over the years into the full-on chuck-fest that we see today. Songkran is fun, people come out with buckets, water blasters of every size, and bags of dubious white powder to ‘anoint’ each other in a crazy, messy, high spirited romp that lasts for several days. If you don’t play well with others or are too kool for skool then maybe it’s not for you. It’s often said that the arrival of foreign tourists, farang, was where the corruption of the festival of Songkran began. The statistics, shocking as they are, don’t back up this view though and the vast majority of road deaths occur among the native population. In 2008 the road death toll ran to some 350 over the seven days of Songkran from a total of just over 4000 accidents. Tellingly, Phitsanulok province, a place where most farang would struggle to find on a map, led the carnage with 15 fatalities. There is talk, serious talk from serious politicians, about making Songkran alcohol free. It may happen, and it would be wise to keep an eye on news coming from Thailand if you are planning a Songkran trip. Loy Krathong, which is usually in November, is another festival on the cards. Less impact but non the less important to the Thai people as it is the beginning of the rice planting season. Through out Thailand the festivals can be found everywhere through out the year like the Thai king's birthday, the royal barge procession, the illuminated boat procession or ‘Lai Ruea Fai’ and many more found all over. Even during seasonal peaks such as Christmas and Songkran there is accommodation to suit every pocket on Phuket, from 500 baht per night guesthouses to the 50000, yes fifty thousand, baht per night and enough to keep the most demanding of travellers busy. From the photo opportunities of Phang Ngha bay and the stunning sunsets of Laem Promthep, the balmy beaches all around the island, to the heat of the Patong nightlife, Phuket is a place that once visited, is never forgotten. |
