20 OCTOBER 2017 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: People light prayer candles at Chao Zhou Shi Kong Shrine in Bangkok's Chinatown on the first day of the Vegetarian Festival, what Thais call the Taoist Nine Emperor Gods Festival, in the Chinatown neighborhood of Bangkok, Thailand. It is a nine-day Taoist celebration beginning on the eve of 9th lunar month of the Chinese calendar. For nine days people participating in the festival wear only white and don't eat meat, poultry, seafood, and dairy products. The vegetarian festival is celebrated throughout Thailand, but especially in Phuket and Bangkok, cities with large ethnic Chinese communities. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
