Welcome to Phuket! These gents are ritual vegetarians. See? See what vegetarianism eventually does to you??
Actually the captions don't explain the ceremony much, except to suggest that they are concerned with the moving of evil spirits. These guys believe they are possessed. I find it hard to disagree.
Why do the
evil spirits get all the press? Why doesn't anyone think of the
good spirits?
It's really the feather lining that makes this outfit.
Thanx to madmonkey for the last image. Pfft, I spent like 50 dollars for an appropriate piece of wood to stow my good knives in.
