Annual Vegetarian Festival - Samut Sakhon Thailand Sep 26 to Oct 4th 2022

Thai-Chinese people all over the country celebrate the vegetarian festival, or Kin Jay in Thai, every year for nine days and nights from the first to the ninth day of the ninth month according to the Chinese lunar calendar. And this year, the festival falls on September 26 to October 4.

During this time, Thailand’s Chinese communities purify their bodies by cutting all meat and dairy out of their diet.

The vegetarian festival will be held in several other provinces like Bangkok’s Chinatown, Samut Prakarn, Ratchaburi, Nakhon Sawan, Chiang Mai, Songkla, and the extreme ritual in Phuket.

In addition to the parade there many other things to do and see with the festival. There is a walking street with food vendors on the pier, live shows near the city pillar shrine and other attractions at the many Chinese shrines in the area. It’s a nice event for the local people to get out and celebrate.
