  • Phi Ta Khon Festival, Dan Sai, Thailand.....The Phi Ta Khon or Ghost Festival is held each year combining the celebration of Boon Phra Wate held during the 4th lunar month and Boon Bung Fai held during the 6th lunar month.  It is a combination of Buddhist merit making and offerings to the spirits for rain and a productive rice harvest.  There are solemn ceremonies following normal Buddhist scripts and ghosts or spirits are often intertwined with this.....However, each year the 3 day festival draws raucous teams of local mask makers, mostly young men, who dress as Phi Ta Khon "Ghosts" and consume large quantities of lao khao (rice wine).  The Phi Ta Khon parade through the streets with large wooden phallus symbols playfully teasing everyone.  Each day the parade ends at Phon Chai Temple where the Phi Ta Khon and the town's people circle the temple repeatedly dancing and cheering.  There are also giant Phi Ta Khon Yai made of bamboo resembling men and women with exaggerated genitals.  Many in the crowd take turns leading the male Phi Ta Khon Yai around the temple by his sex organ.  ....The top of the masks are made of traditional rice baskets and rockets are fired into the sky to please the spirits and signal for rain.....The parade celebrates the Buddha's last great incarnation before achieving enlightenment.  According to legend the last incarnation was celebrated with such fervor that the parade invoked the spirits to join in the festivities...

  • Throwing the goat skin with panache is a challenge to all other riders after winning an individual match in Kokpar also known as Bushkashi at the annual Eagle Hunting Festival, Bayan Olgi, Mongolia, Oct 6, 2003.  Kokpar requires a combination of strength, courage, and horsemanship skills.  This traditional game has come back since the Soviet withdrawal from the region.  The Kazakhs of Mongolia play one on one, with 10 men on each team.  When a rider loses his grip on the goat or falls off his horse he has to join the opposing team.  Eventually one team has all the riders on its side and is the winner.  Kokpar or Bushkashi is also played in a ruby style in other parts of Central Asia including Kazakhstan.  Hundreds of riders may line up on each side, and then mayhem prevails as they all rush to grab the goat.
