Festival of Light — Lai Heua Fai in Luang Prabang
Every autumn, Luang Prabang lights up with Lai Heua Fai, the Festival of Light marking the end of Buddhist Lent. Families craft candlelit boats, temples glow at dusk, and offerings float along the Mekong — a moving spectacle in the city’s UNESCO historic quarter.
It’s an unforgettable look at living heritage and community faith.
