Pii Mai Lao

This year Lao New Year or Boun Pii Mai is celebrated from 14 – 16 April. During Pii Mai, people splash water on one another to cleanse them of misfortune and bring luck in the coming year, so plan to get wet during this fun-filled occasion. In the country’s many vats, Buddha images are cleansed with sacred water, and many Lao people make special offerings at the temples during this time of year. Luang Prabang has the most elaborate Pii Mai festival, but other provinces and towns also celebrate Pi Mai with parades, beauty contests and performances.
