Ghost Festival

Phi Ta Khon, also known as the Ghost Festival, is a three-day festival celebrated in Loei province. The festival, which usually takes place in June or July, is a combination of Buddhist merit-making and traditional animistic beliefs. It is believed that during the festival, the spirits of ancestors return to the human world. Participants dress up in colorful costumes and wear elaborate masks made from rice husks, coconut leaves, and other materials to scare away evil spirits and protect the living from harm. 

Loei is a great destination for those seeking to explore new adventures and Thailand’s natural beauty and culture.
