The annual 11 day Chinese Vegetarian Festival otherwise known as “Ginjai” has begun with a grand opening ceremony held in North Pattaya.
The event took place at the headquarters of the Sawang Boriboon Foundation led by its Chairman, Khun Wisit, who was joined by a number of local dignitaries such as Khun Ittipon, the Mayor of Pattaya and his elder Brother, Khun Sontaya, former Minister of Culture.
This year’s Festival, which has its origins in China and is therefore popular with Thailand’s substantial Chinese-Thai Community, will run until 3rd October. During this time, followers are expected to abstain from consuming meat products and will wear white and make merit at Temples during the 11 day period.
To mark the beginning of the festival, which normally sees a significant increase in the cost of vegetables at local Markets, a giant frying pan was used to prepare a vegetarian rice dish which was consumed by those in attendance.
