Phi Ta Khon Festival, Thailand

June 23, 2023 - June 25, 2023

This annual celebration sees local villagers from the Dan Sai district of the Northeastern province of Loei dress in distinctive and boldly colourful masks and headgear. The festival originates from a prince’s return after being presumed dead; the celebrations got so loud, the dead woke up and joined the festivities! Watch the highlight of the festival: the parade of the costumed villagers through the town. On the second day, villagers gather at the temple of Wat Ponchai to listen to sermons being recited by local monks. (Tourism Authority of Thailand)
