In June/July
Phi Ta Khon Festival
Phi Ta Khon is an utterly unique celebration during the Bun Luang Festival in the Northeast of Thailand, especially in Dan Sai in Loei province. The biggest yearly merit-making ceremony of entertainment, the locals believe, is also a rain-making ceremony. The most interesting part of the festival is the uniqueness of the costumes. The masked "ghosts" have a special bell that they wear around their waists. The first activity normally starts with the Phra Uppakhut image. In the afternoon there are many colourful parades. Each village will make their own parade for the competition. Moreover, Phi Ta Khon have a dance competition and other cultural performances. | |
