Who Are the Ma Song

Ma Song are spirit mediums who are believed to embody deities during the Phuket Vegetarian Festival. They play an important role in sacred ceremonies and the traditional street processions known as Iew Keng. Their distinctive attire and ritual practices reflect the spiritual beliefs and cultural heritage of Phuket’s Chinese-Thai community, preserving a tradition passed down through generations.
