These shocking photos were taken during the annual vegetarian festival
in Phucket, held at the ninth lunar month of the Chinese calendar.
Slitting open their cheeks and forcing everything from guns, to
electrical wire, to giant knives and even axes through the holes, were
part of the ritual.
Most of the festival-goers, devotees of the Chinese Samkong shrine and
the Chinese Ban Tha Rue shrine, choose to force weaponry through their
cheeks, but others seem to have opted for anything they can find around
their homes. See the shocking photos after the cut...
