The
Phu Thai traditional dance will be splendidly performed
at the festival during May and June each year. Rarely

ethnic group that still welcomes their visitors by
performing the Bai Si Su Khwan ceremony that follows by
a Pha-laeng dinner. For those interested, please contact
Mr. Chaibodin Saliphan at 042 579174 or 01 263 2458 for
