Phi Ta Khon (ผีตาโขน) is one of Thailand’s most unique and vibrant festivals, held in Dan Sai district, Loei province in northeastern Thailand. Often called the “Ghost Festival,” it’s part of a larger Buddhist merit-making event called Bun Luang.

During the festival, locals dress in handmade ghost masks made from coconut husks, rice baskets, and bright cloth. They dance, parade through the streets, and make a ton of noise — using bells, clappers, and music — to welcome ancestral spirits and celebrate the story of a Buddhist legend in which a prince returns from the dead, and the spirits come out to celebrate with him.

Phi Ta Khon combines folklore, animism, Buddhism, and a whole lot of fun — with spiritual ceremonies, music, dance, and even water fights.

It usually takes place in June or July, depending on the lunar calendar.
