A man with what appears to be a wooden ship forced through his cheeks. FEAST your eyes on probably the most hardcore group of vegetarians you are ever likely to see. The spectacular shots of blood stained men show them bravely puncturing their cheeks with a variety of sharp objects such as skewers, large knives and knitting needles. Other images show the men forcing more extraordinary items through their mouths including umbrellas and one man even managing to get an entire shovel through his cheeks. The annual Phuket Vegetarian Festival takes place in October.
