Today the ten-day vegetarian (actually it's vegan...) Kin jay festival kicked off. For ten days the streets in Thailand will be filled with street vendors selling veg foods, some regular non veg restaurants will only serve veg for these ten days, shopping malls have special veg food isles, and a couple of million Thai people will eat vegetarian for ten days. Another couple of million people will be veg occasionally during these ten days.
Doesnt this mainstream Thai festival beats Christmas ?
Ten days eating only vegs as a kind of cleansing for the body and the spirit. Long before Oprah did it and long before it became hip and fashionable with the Hollywood celebs.
Isn't that cool ? isn't that hip ?
Here are some pics from todays newspaper.
Half page add of 7-11 advertising its veg meals.
They are tasteless but its great to see veg meals in the 7-11 !
The red symbol in the yellow circle is the "vegetarian sign".
