24 SEPTEMBER 2014 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: A boy in a youth lion dance troupe plays drums in the Thian Fah Shrine in Bangkok's Chinatown. His troupe was performing on the streets of Chinatown and soliciting donations from passers by. The Vegetarian Festival is celebrated throughout Thailand. It is the Thai version of the The Nine Emperor Gods Festival, a nine-day Taoist celebration beginning on the eve of 9th lunar month of the Chinese calendar. During a period of nine days, those who are participating in the festival dress all in white and abstain from eating meat, poultry, seafood, and dairy products. Vendors and proprietors of restaurants indicate that vegetarian food is for sale by putting a yellow flag out with Thai characters for meatless written on it in red. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
