You can read more about it here, I strongly suggest you do: http://www.phuketvegetarian.com/phuketvegetarian-eng/phuketvegetarian-history.htm However, I strongly understand not doing any source checking, it kinds of hinders making sarcastic comments about things you don't understand. To the people who live in that area and believe in the mythos it's a very important festival, to me belittling that would be no different than a buddhist belittling our celebration of easter or christmas for instance.
