The tradition of Vegetarian Festival (Jia Shai) first took place in Kathu village a few hundred years ago by Chinese immigrants who settled in the area as tin miners. They believed in worshipping the gods i.e. the gods of the earth and sky who supposedly look after the well-being of their families and village.

Whenever calamity strikes, they would invite the gods down from heaven for protection in exchange for doing good deeds like refraining from eating meat, thus discouraging the killing of another life. This tradition is passed on and widely practiced until today.

Not to be missed during the festival is the parading of the gods or Ew Geng ceremony. Every morning during this period, the different shrines would arrange a parade and travel along the roads passing by houses.

The Fire-Walking Ceremony or Goy Hoy is another sacred practice which is an integral part of the festival. The performers believe that unwavering faith can prevent them from getting burned, and that the fire will purify their body from evil.

In the evenings, a different ceremony called Goy Han or practice of eliminating bad luck is performed. This is done by each individual bringing a piece of self-cut paper doll to represent themselves together with a twenty five satang coin and a Chinese chives plant to the shrine. The Heavenly Warrior would perform a ritual with them and then brand a seal (Ta In) onto the back of the individuals shirt.

Just after six in the morning, my friends and I got together and hopped into the old Jeep, determined to look for a lovely spot we had heard off. We drove along Petchkasem Road from Phang-Nga to Tai Muang District and turned into a small street around the 32nd or 33rd kilometer road mark. As expected, the 2 kilometer path lead us to what we were looking for, the lovely Lampi Waterfall.

Next, prepare the stuffing by boiling green beans in sugar-added water. Keep stirring and let simmer until content has evaporated enough to roll into little balls.
