PHI TA KHON: GHOSTS OF ISAN

A Film by Robert Millis

"Described as 'The Mardi Gras from Hell' and 'Thai Halloween' PHI TA KHON is a ghost festival that takes place every year in the Isan province of Northern Thailand. Meaning 'ghosts with human eyes' or 'ghost into human,' Phi Ta Khon features magnificent costumes, ornate masks, decorative phallic icons of all sizes, ceremony, drinking, dancing and endless addictive Molam music in higher doses than most souls can process. A mind-blowing and obscure tradition hidden in the interior of the Indochine peninsula. Filmed on location by Robert Millis and Richard Bishop in June 2004."

  • @BooRadleysGhost

    let's come here dude.. Isan is RAW!!! rich of culture and spiritual things ,,, even I'm from the North but

    I think Isan is the most fucking funk of Thailand.

  • the name of the song is "bai si chao ngo rotchana" by namphueng phetuthai & her group

  • สุอยอดเสียงพิณ ม้วนคักเสียงพิณตัวนี้

  • The organization committees supply and instruct consumption of copious quantities of the potion observed at 1.06 before noon. This ensures an authentic "spiritual" atmosphere. By about 2.30 observers will witness several ex soccer stars performing their dribbling skills without the ball often a clash with a harmonious penalty appeal causes excitement. Successful appeals are often rewarded with more potions until all resemble the walking dead. The second half is played in darkness. Whooooooooo

  • there is my home town!!!! would love to be there again!!!

  • Also Cambodian Khmer rock sounds similar. You cant buy too much of it in the US but Youtube seems to have a limitless amount of it

  • does anyone know the name of this song?

  • Look at the Sublime Frequencies catalog on their website. The world music they put out tends to be a lot less cheesy than other world music labels.
