Boun That Luang

 
 

Perhaps the most important festival in the Lao calender. Held in November to coincide with the full moon. There is a huge concentration of visitors during this 4 day long event. You really have to be there to enjoy the experience as words only fail to transmit the atmosphere.

In our LCTV Presentation, we hunt for “street vendor” BBQ Crispy Pork, before heading off to the That Luang later in the evening.

    Vienne, nice video. Great commentary as always. Love the British accent. :)  The crispy look so good.

    Charging visitors to That Luang festival for bringing in camera or video recorder is just crazy.

    Your dished are always beautiful indeed. "Green Tea Macarones" sounds really lovely. I love green tea taste sweets ! My parents moved to Kyoto this spring so I am visiting them on new year days :) So maybe I will enjoy some traditional Japanese sweets.
