There are many unusual religious and cultural festivals in Thailand and Southeast Asia.  At Wat Bang Pra in Nakhon Chaisi, Thailand, on the outskirts of Bangkok, Buddhist monks ink traditional tattoos.  Devotees in a trance-like state rush toward a sacred statue of their masters.  It becomes pure chaos.  Caution to photographers attending the festival, rushing devotees crash into spectators at a frightening speed.
