Khao Pansa (Laos)

Khao Pansa, also known as Khao Phansa, Buddhist Lent Day, is a public holiday in Laos, and it is observed on the first day of the waning moon of the eighth lunar month.

Khao Pansa marks the start of the three months of Vassa, when monks must remain in a 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.
