17 OCTOBER 2012 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: Vendors make vegan Chinese style noodles at the Vegetarian Festival food fair on Yaowarat Road in Chinatown in Bangkok. The Vegetarian Festival is celebrated throughout Thailand. It is the Thai version of the The Nine Emperor Gods Festival, a nine-day Taoist celebration celebrated in the 9th lunar month of the Chinese calendar. For 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 at their establishments by putting a yellow flag out with Thai characters for meatless written on it in red.
