Fish Piercer


It might seem strange to pierce your cheek with a marlin to celebrate a Vegetarian Festival, but this devotee took to the streets of Phuket along with thousands of other worshippers and did just that in the hope of being rewarded with good health and prosperity.

The annual Thai festival, which takes place on 2-10 October to worship Chinese gods, has been going for more than 10 years, but a spokesperson at the Thai tourisum office said that there was no record of injury, fatality or even infection associated with the piercings.
