Phuket's THAI-pusam!! not Thaipusam

Hindus in Malaysia gathers in Batu Caves in Kuala Lumpur, Gunong Cheroh in Ipoh and Jalan Waterfall in Penang. This is one of the biggest annual-tourist-c’mon of Malaysia.
Hindus in Singapore show their devotion by walking 3 kilometers from Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple to Chettiar Temple, carrying offerings to Lord Subramaniam.

A day of thanks giving, asking favors, and simply wishing good things. The air is festive and everybody is in a good mood.

BUT THE "THAI" MAKKALS SEEMS TO CELEBRATE A FESTIVAL SIMILAR TO OUR THAIPUSAM. But they don't call it thaipusam, lol. They call it "Vegetarian Festival". Not sure, try research about it. But its celebrated on the full moon of the Hindu month of Thai. They too pierce pierce on face and bodies and all. But they more worst than us.. Look at the pics man!! OUCH!! NAMBELEY PARAVALEY!
