Phi
Ta Khon Festival
......................................
Phi Ta Khon Festival is held at Amphoe Dan Sai in May or June. Aside
from merit-making and a sermon, there is a procession bearing Phra
Uppakhut, a rain-inducing Buddha image. Adult men and boys wear colourful
ghost masks and join in the procession. The ghost costumes derive
from a local legend. Some believe that they are from the Buddhist
saga Phra Wetsandon Chadok.More.. |
