24 SEPTEMBER 2014 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: A girl gives a donation to a Chinese Taoist dancer on Yaowarat Road in Bangkok's Chinatown during the Vegetarian Festival Parade. 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
