Origin
:
Ban Nong Khao is a village that is over 100 years old. In the
Ayutthaya period when Burmese forces attacked Ayutthaya and Kanchanaburi
was the frontline city, the villagers of Ban Nong Khao rallied
to repel the attackers. The residents here have retained the village's
culture and traditions, and have a strong artistic trait. Every
year, the villagers join in celebrating the Songkran Festival.
The festival is so well known that it is the place of choice for
revelers. The way of life and traditions of Ban Nong Khao have
been compiled into a cultural show that is widely accepted.
