This is a festival celebrated by most southern Thai people. The festival is derived from the belief that during the first to fifteenth day of the tenth waning moon, the souls of the dead are released to meet their relatives. So relatives of the deceased take this opportunity to make merit for them. Satingphra district in Songkhla province has quite a unique celebration of this event.
