Thailand Travel - Pai Introduction
Probably not a lot of people will have heard of Amphur Pai, or the Pai district town of Mae HongSon province, located at almost midway, northeasterly, between Mae - Tang ( 37 Kms north of Chiangmai ) and Mae HongSon road, now a properly asphalted and all - weather route, linking the once isolated bordering Mae HongSon province closer to Chiangmai.
Pai can perhaps be described as a lost city once when normal communication barely existed, depending only on foot, horse and mule backs and at time bamboo rafting along the Pai River, to get from places to places.

Thailand Travel, Chong Para Procression
Chong Para Procression
In October (duan sipet) the festival of Hen Som Go Ja is held, which consists of making offerings to relatives who have already passed away. There are also celebrations to mark the end of the Lent season, or Chong Para. During the evening the people make processions carrying hand made castle like structures (to welcome the Buddha back from heaven where he went during the Lent season to visit his mother) to the temples, or else place them outside their homes to bring merit to their families. During these ceremonies there is music and dancing. Mostly the dancing is done by dancers dressed up as mythological creatures, such as the mythological half bird-half human ginaree and the mythological yak, which is held by two dancers, rather like a pantomime horse.
The Chong Para in the Thai Yai dialect means a castle made of wood, covered with colorful perforated papers and decorated with fruits, flags and lamps. It is placed in the courtyard of a house or a monastery as a gesture to welcome the Lord Buddha on his return from giving sermons to his mother in heaven, according to traditional belief. The rite is held during the postkain Retreat season from the full-moon day of the 11the Lunar month to the waxing-moon night of the same month. Other activities to celebrate the occasion include dances where performers are dressed in animal costumes. This is based on the belief that during those long-gone days, both humans and the animal kingdom were equally joyful of the return of the Lord Buddha and therefore joined in a jubilant performance as tribute of the Enlightened One.
