Talk:Vegetarian Festival (Phuket)

To Do
The Vegetarian Festival has spread to Pattaya. The purely Buddhist festival of Tesagarn Wan Sat (เทศกาลวันสารท) (see สารท ๑), which occurs on Moon 10 Waxing Evening 15, now appears on current Thai calendars as  Ruem Tesagarn Kin Jae 9 Wan (Thai: เริมเทศกาลกินเจ ๕ วัน), Begin 9-Day Vegetarian Festival. Kin Jae กินเจ means (to vow) in the manner of Vietnamese or Chinese Buddhists to eat a strict vegetarian diet. (กินเจ, กินแจ ก. ถือศีลอย่างญวนหรือจีน โดยกินอาหารจำพวกผักล้วน ไม่มีเนื้อสัตว์). Any editor who can read Thai and wants to help might try เทศกาลสารท and เทศกาลสารทจีน. Pawyilee (talk) 15:02, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Articles of Faith: Thailand’s Vegetarian Festival by Leslie Nevison is a far better account, including what it has to do with the Nine Emperor Gods Festival. Pawyilee (talk) 04:57, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
 * The festival is common throughout Thailand, but not in the way it is in Phuket, so that should likely remain as a unique article. It can of course be expanded, but is culturally unique and location-specific to remain it's own article. See also this article on Thailand vegetarianism and the vegetarian festival. --Jeffmcneill (talk) 10:33, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Redirect??
Seems perverse to redirect to a page with a name that is grammatically incorrect. The Concise Oxford Dictionary says that the G in God is only capitalised in monotheistic religions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 182.250.246.37 (talk) 21:42, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
