The Thai Vegetarian Festival is an annual event held during the ninth lunar month of the Chinese calendar. It is believed that the vegetarian festival and its accompanying sacred rituals bestow good fortune upon those who religiously observe this rite. The Thai Vegetarian Festival falls usually in the middle of October until the end of the month.So look for restaurants or street stalls with yellow flags with red Thai or Chinese writing.They will serve vegetarian food.

People who want to learn the Thai language should listen to some Thai music.Listening to Thai music is a good way to improve your listening skill as well as to learn new words . One band that is easy to listen to with many meaningful lyrics is a band called Loso (very famous rock band in Thailand).They have many albums from heavy rock song with stinging lylics like Mai tong huang chun "don't worry about me"(Lo Society album) ,smooth sweet melodic love songs like Som Sarn (Entertainment album).For people who don't know Loso "The Best of Loso" is a good introduction to this band's music.If you don't know what to listen to then just pick a CD cover you like and start improving your Thai listening skill.

There are many Thais with Chinese ancestors ,so you will often see Chinese style shrines all over the country .On certain ocassions such as Chinese New Year you will see people paying respect to Gods and past ancesters in front of their homes,shop or local shrines.Offerrings of chicken,duck,fruit,pig heads ,Chinese dessert,soft drink ,tea and whiskey are placed in front these shrines. Also you will see lots of fake paper money or gold bars being burned , so don't panic thinking there is a fire nearby. A good time to get a feel of shrine worshipping custom is during Chinese New Year January28-30 .
