The Phi Ta Khon (Ghost with Human Eyes) takes place in a small village called Dansai in Northeastern Thailand.  It is to bring the rains for harvest and to guarantee fertility for all things. It must work as the rains came on the 3 days of the festival.  There were few falang (foreigners) and it appeared to be basically a costumed drunken bash.  The elders attempted to maintain some of the tradition and some semblance of order but it was definitely just a big party.
