Lao New Year, also known as Pi Mai Lao, is one of the most important traditional festivals celebrated in Laos. It usually takes place from April 13th to April 15th and marks the start of the Lao lunar calendar year. This three-day celebration is a time for families and communities to come together, offer prayers to their ancestors and deities, and enjoy a range of traditional activities.

One of the most popular and exciting traditions during the Lao New Year is the water festival. This tradition involves people pouring water on one another as a symbol of cleansing and purification, and to bring good luck and prosperity for the coming year. It is believed that the water used in this festival is sacred and can wash away bad luck and negativity.

During the water festival, people of all ages take to the streets with buckets, water guns, and hoses to douse each other with water. The festival is also accompanied by lively music, dancing, and traditional Lao food, making it a time of joyous celebration and community bonding.

Overall, the Lao New Year with its rich traditions and vibrant water festival is an event not to be missed for anyone interested in experiencing the unique culture of Laos.

Celebrations took place in Xieng Khuang province on Tuesday (Nov 29) to formally mark Unesco’s listing of the Plain of Jars as Laos’ third world heritage site.

The formal declaration of the Plain of Jars as a world heritage site took place during the 43rd Session of the World Heritage Committee in Baku, Azerbaijan, on July 10, 2019.

The ceremony in Xieng Khuang province was attended by Deputy Prime Minister Prof Dr Kikeo Khaykhamphithoune, the Deputy Governor of Xieng Khuang province, Sengviay Sengchalern, and representatives of Unesco in Bangkok, Thailand.

Prof Dr Kikeo Khaykhamphithoune hits the drum to mark Unesco’s listing of the Plain of Jars as Laos’ third world heritage site.

Speaking at the event, Minister of Information, Culture and Tourism, Suanesavanh Vignaket, said the Plain of Jars world heritage proposal involved 11 separate sites that contained 1,325 large and small ancient stone jars in the districts of Paek, Phaxay, Phoukoud and Kham.

The jars were carved from sandstone and granite, and their size ranges from very small to about three metres in height. They are thought to be 2,500 -3,000 years old.

There are also a number of stone slabs, which are thought to be lids for the jars, or tombstones, while tools and other items of archaeological interest were found around the jars.

The Plain of Jars is located at the intersection of two major cultural systems during the Iron Age in South-East Asia and the area is known to be a place of migration within the region, resulting in trade and cultural exchanges, Suanesavanh said.

The recognition of the Megalithic Jar Sites by Unesco is expected to swell visitor numbers and bolster the economy of Xieng Khuang province.

According to experts, the Plain of Jars comprises about 80 distinct sites but only 11 are included in the listed area as they have the highest concentration of stone jars.

Jars have also been found in Phoukhoun district in Luang Prabang province, which borders Xieng Khuang province.

Three large sites in Paek district are particularly popular with visitors. The first site is 15km southwest of the provincial capital Phonsavanh, and has about 300 jars.

The second site is 25km south of Phonsavanh and contains about 90 jars spread over two hills. The third site is 35km southeast of Phonsavanh and has about 150 jars.

Laos achieved Unesco recognition of its first world heritage site in 1995 when Luang Prabang’s old town was nominated for listing. The second followed in 2001 when the Vat Phou temple complex in Champassak province was declared a world heritage site.

The Ministry of Information, Culture and Tourism is currently working on a submission to Unesco with regard to the Hin Namno National Protected Area, otherwise known as the Stone Karst Formation Forest, in Khammuan province.

Chao Xaysetthathirath Shrine,
Attapeu Province, Lao PDR

Chao Xaysetthathirath was one of the greatest kings of the Lane Xang Kingdom. He built Luang Prabang's famous Wat Xieng Thong and built or renovated many temples throughout the country.

Fearing an imminent Burmese invasion, he moved the capital of Lane Xang to Vientiane. The Burmese invaded anyway and managed to capture the capital for two years. During this period, Xaysetthathirath staged attacks on the invaders.

✈✈ THAI SMILES FLIES TO LUANG PRABANG ✈✈

VIENTIANE, Laos, 11 October 2022: Thai Smile Airways will launch direct daily flights from Bangkok to the UNESCO World Heritage town of Luang Prabang later this month.

Ground handling services confirmed the flight should commence on 30 October following last week’s introduction of a second daily flight from Bangkok to Vientiane to the Lao PDR capital. The airline now serves the Vientiane route with morning and afternoon flights.

THAI Airways International’s services to neighbouring Mekong Region countries (Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam) have been transferred to its daughter airline, Thai Smile.

Using a fleet of A320s, Thai Smile will fly daily to Luang Prabang departing Bangkok Suvarnabhumi airport at 0845 (WE576) and arriving in Luang Prabang at 1020. The return flight (WE577) will depart Luang Prabang at 1120 and arrive in Bangkok at 1255. According to a web search, the cheapest roundtrip fare on Thai Smile is USD197. The flight time is one hour and 25 minutes.

Thai AirAsia flies daily to Luang Prabang from its Don Mueang base quoting fares ranging from USD157 to USD220. Lao Aviation also flies daily on the Luang Prabang route using an ATR72.

Bangkok Airways will resume daily flights to Luang Prabang just one day after Thai Smile on 1 November from its Bangkok Suvarnabhumi base quoting a roundtrip fare starting at USD473. However, it uses the smaller 70-seat ATR72 plane taking two hours and 18 minutes to complete the flight. Pre-Covid, the airline scheduled three daily services to Luang Prabang.
