Every year during the 7th lunar month, comes alive for Por Tor, the Hungry Ghost Festival. According to local Thai-Chinese tradition, the gates of the underworld open, allowing spirits to visit the earthly realm.
To welcome ancestors and comfort lonely ghosts, families gather at local shrines with vibrant offerings, most notably the red Ang Ku turtle cake, a symbol of longevity and good fortune.
