Traveler Notes

Every morning, the Alms Giving Ceremony (Sai Bat) takes place along the main street where locals offer food to monks. The long-standing tradition is made special today since it is the last day of Buddhist lent. After three months restricted to their temples, monks who were ordained during this period once again return to their families and social duties, and are welcomed with offerings of food and gifts.

Do. Wake up early. The ceremony starts between 5:30-6:00 AM. Observe the ritual in silence and contribute an offering only if it is meaningful for you. Dress appropriately.

At around 5:30 PM, participants of the Boun Heua Fai or the Festival of the Fire Boat a.k.a. Festival of Light started to congregate on the main street just in front of the hotel. It was such a sight to behold all the beautiful people of Luang Prabang dressed in traditional costumes as they take photos of each other, while others have started celebrating early by dancing, singing and drinking on the street.
