"No Pain,No Gain"...........As part of vegetarians festival in southern Thailand,some spiritualists believe that piercing their faces with unusual objects while abstaining from meat will banish evil and give them peace of mind.Their suffering they hope draws evil out of the community around them and, in doing so, brings positive luck to their friends and village.

Each year thousands of people travel to the Bang Neow Shrine, on Phuket, to watch the bizarre vegetarian festival held by the ethnic-Chinese community of the island during the ninth lunar month of their homeland's calendar.
