Extreme cheek piercings at religious festival

By britexpat

Forget about Footy, Tennis or The Qube..

What we really need is a festival in Doha....

How about something like this extreme cheek piercing vegetarian festival in Phuket, Thailand

The festival runs for ten days and involves nine street processions featuring devotees who pierce their bodies with an assortment of weapons and implements

The festival has Chinese origins and is held during the ninth lunar month of the Chinese calendar and is believed to cleanse the body

There are similar festivals in India. The more pain, the stronger your belief I presume.

What's the scope of this festival? What they want to promote? Insanity and masochism? Sick people....sorry ...I'm sick too now...thanks a lot Brit!
