Phi Ta Khon: The Spirit of Dansai

Phi Ta Khon is a local celebration found only in Dan Sai, Loei Province that joins the community in an expression of creativity and individuality through costumes, hand-painted masks and dancing. The custom embodies a uniquely Thai form of healing that blends belief, artistry and the happiness of coming together as one.

Founded by Lak Ekalak Hasingthong and the villagers of Baan Nam Phu, Dan Sai District, Tamnarn Loei are renowned for their preservation of traditional Phi Ta Khon mask-making.
