Trang Vegetarian Festival is a traditional festival of the Chinese in Trang, held around October every year. Thais of Chinese heritage would become vegetarian (no consumption of meat and certain kinds of vegetables) and dress in white for 9 days and nights. This is to bring good fortune and make merit. Throughout the 9 days and nights, the spirits in the “mediums” would go out and give blessing (some call it out touring) to households where there are offerings set out in front. The procession bearing the mediums must light thousands of firecrackers, creating a deafening din. The mediums would also perform supernatural feats to show that the spirits are in them
