https://steemit.com/@metametheus thanks for your comment. Yes its quite a unique festival. Actually I enjoy watching the people become possessed by ghosts the most. I find the piercings to be quite shocking at first but I've seen the festival so many times I've become accustomed to it. A bit of self mutilation to pay for your sins so to speak from a western point of view. I recommend you to check it out next year. They also have it in Bangkok, Hat yai, and Trang but the largest is in Phuket. https://steemit.com/trending/naturalmedicine sounds nice I'm always interested to learn more. Thanks for the invite :)
