About the event
A ritual from the Phuket Vegetarian Festival programme: a hot water bathing rite and a walk across a bridge of nails. It takes place at the ritual ground of the old Chinese school, opposite the Cherngtalay police station, with Cherngtalay Municipality taking part in the festival. The post's hashtags mark the 201st year of the festival.
