Buddhist Lent

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Known as "Khao Phansa", the Buddhist Lent is a time devoted to study and meditation. Buddhist monks remain within the temple grounds and do not venture out for a period of three months starting from the first day of the waning moon of the eighth lunar month (in July) to the fifteenth day of the waxing moon of the eleventh lunar month (in October). In former times, this is done to prevent monks from trampling upon rice paddies when they venture out to receive offerings from the villagers.

Vang Vieng

Vang Vieng (also Vang Viang) is a tiny riverside town located in Laos. Once no more than a bus changing station on the long haul between Vientiane at the Thai border and the World Heritage Site city of Luang Prabang, it has managed to become a destination of its own. There still isn't more to the town than three streets and a bus station, but the nearby river, laidback countryside and cave-filled rock formations mean it's worth a day or two of chillout time. Vang Vieng is at the halfway point on the bus ride from Vientiane to Luang Prabang-- about 6-8 hours (road and bus conditions permitting) from either city. There really is no other way to Vang Viang.
