This year's Phitakhon festival in Dan Sai (Loei Province) is scheduled from Sat 28th to Mon 30th June. The major event where the masked walk through Dan Sai town is on Sun 29th June. As I would like to go and stay there, tried from yesterday evening on to book a room, to no avail. Everything full, so me clever tried in Phu Rua, not much available and sinfully expensive too. In the end found a bungalow in Nakhon Thai for a normal price. Both Phu Rua and Nakhon Thai are some 45 to 50 kms away but it seems this festival is getting ever more popular every year. Anyway will go on SU from Nakhon Thai to Dan Sai to watch the celebration and in the late afternoon ride on for a night in beautiful Chiang Khan. Will post some pictures once back home. This post is just to warn you if you want to go there that everything is already full from 28th to 30th of June 2025.
