Phi Ta Khon is a well-blended event between making merit, having a party, and reenacting the long-relayed folklore of King Vessandorn, the Buddha-to-be reincarnation.

                The Phi Ta Khon Festival is held in Dan Sai district of Loei province. It is part of a Buddhist merit-making holiday known locally as “Bun Pha Ves.”

                The accurate origin of the festival is still unclear, but it is believed that it is concerned with an important tale of the Buddha's last life before reaching nirvana.

                The festival is held with the arrival of the sixth or seventh lunar month. Young male villagers prepare their ghostly costume and masks, while children go around town playing tricks.
