A HAPPY GATHERING OF FUN-LOVING SPIRITS

The Phi Ta Khon festival is unique to the Dan Sai district in Loei Province and reflects the local Isan belief in ghosts and spirits. Held once a year, it is part of a grand merit-making festival known as the "Boon Luang" festival.

The origins of the Phi Ta Khon Festival can be found in the tale of Lord Buddha's last great incarnation before attaining Enlightenment. In Buddhist accounts, it is said that when Prince Vessandara, the Buddha's penultimate incarnation, returned to his city, it was such a joyous occasion that the village spirits came forth to join the welcoming parade. This very colourful and vibrant Phi Ta Khon procession is the central focus of the celebrations.

Thailand’s annual "Amazing Thailand Grand Sale" got underway this month and continues to offer visitors great bargains right through to 31 August. This year, as fuel prices escalate, both visitors and residents are looking for more value and bigger discounts when they are shopping.

Thailand never disappoints. Most mega stores and shopping malls are offering discounts of between 10 to 70%, so there are bargains galore for the shopper prepared to browse around the stores. Fortunately, most of Bangkok’s major shopping malls and stores are located close to the city’s skytrain or metro transport systems, making it very convenient to hop from one store to the next.

Both the Skytrain and the Metro, offer day use stored-value cards for visitors to make it even more convenient to use the two systems. Bangkok’s main shopping districts and streets are to be found along Ploenchit and Sukhumvit roads.

Jazz lovers know exactly where they should be come mid-June. They are catching an invigorating sea breeze and dining on fresh sea food at Hua Hin’s famous beachside restaurants. But only when they are not soaking up the serious stuff - musical concerts delivering the very best in jazz, compliments of a variety of local and international bands.

Hua Hin shakes off its low season blues, 12 to 14 June, every year for its international jazz festival at sites on the beach and in the centre of this laid back resort town that graces Thailand’s western coast of the Gulf of Thailand.

Hua Hin is approximately 220 km from Bangkok and is noted for being the country’s first beach resort discovered by royalty and nobility in the post war years when the only feasible way to reach its golden beaches was by steam train.
