The festival has its origins in a Buddhist tale. When Prince Vessandara, the Buddha's penultimate incarnation, returned to his city the welcoming procession was so delightful that spirits emerged to join in the celebration. Based on that, Phi Ta Khon procession features young men dressed as spirits accompanying a sacred Buddha image and teasing villagers. Monks recite the story of the Buddha's last great incarnation before attaining Enlightenment. This festival features contests of masked dances and processions. All tourists are welcome to participate.
