Boun Ok Phansa (Laos)

Boun Ok Phansa is a public holiday in Laos, and it is observed at the end of the rainy season, 3 months after Khao Phansa.

Boun Ok Phansa marks the end of the three-month period of Vassa when monks are required to remain in a particular monastery or temple grounds, usually from July to October. It coincides with the rainy season, and traditionally the monks are not allowed to stay overnight in other places. They will study, meditate or teach other young monks during this time.
