A stall selling fireworks caught fire at the annual vegetarian festival in southern Thailand.

Footage shows the blaze engulfing the cart as firecrackers exploded during the event on the island of Phuket on Thursday morning.

Firemen arrived to extinguish the blaze, which they believe was caused by faulty fireworkers igniting and sparking a chain reaction of explosions.

The Phuket Vegetarian Festival, also known as the Nine Emperor Gods Festival, is an annual Taoist celebration observed by the Thai-Chinese community.

This year, it took place from October 21–29. During the nine-day event, devotees follow a strict vegetarian or vegan diet and participate in spiritual rituals such as firewalking and body piercing. 

Public processions and ceremonies are held throughout Phuket, particularly in Phuket Old Town.
