Tradition aplenty over Lao New Year
VIENTIANE (Vientiane Times/ANN) – It is out with the old and in with the new for many Lao people right now as preparations get underway for the annual fun and festivities of Pi Mai Lao (Lao New Year) over April 14-16.
Pi Mai is arguably the biggest and most important event of the year on the Buddhist calendar in Laos. It is a time of celebration and fun, but also a time for family members to give and receive prayers and blessings for a fortuitous year ahead.
