That Luang Festival is considered the most important Theravada Buddhist festival in Laos — a time for topping up merit and paying respects to the Grand Stupa.
In this article, we share our experience visiting the festival over two different years, offer insight into some of the celebrations and observances, and share helpful tips and essential information for visiting.
What Makes AwayGoWe Guides Different
Why trust our Laos recommendations? Lori and I have lived full-time in Laos for 3 years and learned so much as residents here that simply can't be learned from a month-long backpacking trip through Laos (which we also did 5 years prior).
In the past decade, we've extensively explored the width and breadth of this amazing country, returning to many destinations multiple times.
We're passionate about Laos, independent travel, and making the best darn travel guides humanly possible for you and your own journey!
(Psst…don't miss our top Vientiane lodging picks at the end of this post.)
What Is That Luang?
Pha That Luang (pronounced pah taht l'wong) is the most important religious monument in the country, and perhaps the most iconic. That Luang appears on everything from Laotian currency to tourism marketing materials.
Stupas such as That Luang are found throughout the Buddhist world. The most important ones are shrines to relics of Buddha. It is believed that That Luang houses the Buddha's hair and breast bone (sternum).

Check out our Ultimate Guide for Visiting Vientiane, Laos, with top tips on getting around, day trips, and much more from two expats living in Vientiane!
That Luang is a symbol of the resiliency of the Laotian people and nation, as its long history — much like the nation's — is marked by a continuous cycle of triumph and turbulence.
Originally built as a Hindu temple in the 3rd century, its significance was forever changed when Buddhist missionaries brought the holy breast bone relic to the stupa after the death of Buddha.
The stupa eventually fell into ruin until the 13th century when it was rebuilt as a Khmer temple, which also fell into ruin in the coming centuries.
When the king of Luang Prabang moved his capital to Wieng Chan (Vientiane) in the 16th century, he ordered the relocation and reconstruction of That Luang 4km from the city center.
However, moving the stupa did not improve its odds of survival, as it was plundered and raided repeatedly by the Burmese, Siamese, and Chinese from the mid-17th to mid-19th centuries.
That Luang was abandoned until the French restored its original design in 1900, though this was unsuccessful and had to be reconstructed in the 1930s. Again, the stupa was heavily damaged during the Franco-Thai War but finally reconstructed to what we see today after the end of World War II.
I dare you to find another landmark anywhere else in the world that has such a long and tumultuous history.
When Is That Luang Festival?
The national holiday of Boun That Luang (Festival of the Grand Stupa) occurs on the full moon of the twelfth lunar month of the Buddhist calendar, which usually places it squarely in November of the Gregorian (Western) calendar. The date of the next few That Luang Festivals are:
- 2019: Tuesday, November 12th
- 2020: Monday, November 30th
- 2021: Friday, November 19th
There always seems to be some disagreement among Lao people we talk to as to when the festival occurs each year. Online resources reflect the same lack of agreement.
Find Tours & Things To Do in Vientiane
While we've been told the dates of the actual holiday are subject to change each year, the last (and most important) day of the festival has indeed landed on the full moon of the 12th lunar month in the three years we've been living here. The above dates follow this pattern.
Keep in mind that festivities begin 2-3 days beforehand.
Where is the Festival Located?
That Luang Festival is held each year in Vientiane, Laos, in two locations over three days: Wat Si Muang the first evening, and Pha That Luang (Grand Stupa) the next two days (see map).
What Is That Luang Festival?: What to Expect
The That Luang Festival is a celebration of both the stupa's religious and historical significance, as well as a celebration of the nation itself.
For three days during the twelfth lunar month, Laotians from all corners of Laos descend on Vientiane to celebrate the Festival of the Golden Stupa (Boun That Luang).
Like many Buddhist holidays in Laos, it's a time for worship, celebration, spending time with family, and dressing in your festival best.
Each of the three days is marked by different activities and observances, which are discussed in further detail below.
Day One
The That Luang Festival doesn't actually start at the stupa, itself, but another important Buddhist landmark in Vientiane, Wat Si Muang.
At sunset on the first evening, devotees arrive for a candlelight procession involving wax castles (phasat pheung).
Day Two
The next afternoon, crowds descend on That Luang with their wax castles for the first procession around the Golden Stupa. This is the main day for family gatherings and cultural events around That Luang and the rest of the city.
Day Three
Beginning before sunrise of the final day, crowds gather at That Luang for tak bat, or monks almsgiving. This is a time of spiritual reflection and honoring the ancestors with water and prayers.
Later in the morning, families gather on the temple grounds surrounding the stupa for traditional picnics.
The devoted bring their family offering bowl loaded with an assortment of consumables for the monks and to pay homage to the ancestors.
People wait in long lines for the opportunity to present their offerings and receive a blessing on this important occasion.
Some leave small offerings around the complex for the spirits of family members who have passed on.
A folk heritage temporary exhibit is also constructed just for the occasion. This mock traditional village has been set up to showcase traditional village life and livelihoods.
There is also live music using traditional instruments as part of the folk heritage exhibit.
Completely replaced by tuk-tuks, pedicabs are a relic of the past in Vientiane. At That Luang during festival time, however, there are a dozen on hand for photo-ops.
Families convene for a traditional picnic on the grounds surrounding the stupa.
At the end of the third day of festivities, the devotion portion of the That Luang Festival winds down under a full moon with a candlelight procession around the stupa.
After entering the inner sanctum, devotees — carrying incense and candles — walk three times (clockwise) around the stupa in honor of Buddha. Women are required to wear a sinh (they are available for rent just outside the gate).
The stupa has accumulated a mountain of offerings around its entire perimeter from three days of festivities.
Devotees pause to write their hopes and wishes for the coming year on a piece of paper to be blessed by the presiding monks. An offering of kip notes is made to the temple.
Outside of the stupa walls, the celebrations are quickly ramping up, with carnival rides and games, musical acts, and food. Families gather at food stalls to eat Khao Poun, the national rice noodle soup dish.
Meanwhile, live shots from inside the stupa walls are broadcast to the revelers on the outside.
All the while, on this particular year, the super moon rises just over That Luang. Awesome.
Where to Stay in Vientiane
Vientiane's got a lot more hotel, guesthouse, and hostel options than you might think. If you aren't familiar with the city, choosing the right place to stay can seem impossible.
Here are our top picks for places to stay in Vientiane — all highly-rated, centrally-located, and loaded with character and a sense of place, just like we like 'em. In short, we'd choose to stay in one of these places ourselves if we didn't already live here.
Barn1920s Hostel

One Final Word of Advice
Laos is among the safest countries for travelers in Asia. With that said, we've had stuff happen affecting our travel — tropical storms, road accidents, broken bones, and other nasties.
When we've had these sorts of setbacks while traveling, it's been a huge relief to have insurance — from a financial standpoint, but also to have the support of English-speaking health care experts at any hour.
We use and recommend World Nomads for all of our independent travel overseas. We also have close family who have had good experiences with Allianz as well.

Thermal interface materials (TIMs) are used in electronics cooling applications to decrease the thermal contact resistance between surfaces in contact. A methodology to determine the optimal volume fraction of filler particles in TIMs for minimizing the thermal contact resistance is presented. The method uses finite element analysis to solve the coupled thermo-mechanical problem. It is shown that there exists an optimal filler volume fraction which depends not only on the distribution of the filler particles in a TIM but also on the thickness of the TIM layer, the contact pressure and the shape and the size of the filler particles. A contact resistance alleviation factor is defined to quantify the effect of these parameters on the contact conductance with the use of TIMs. For the filler and matrix materials considered—platelet-shaped boron nitride filler particles in a silicone matrix—the maximum observed enhancement in contact conductance with the use of TIMs was by a factor of as much as 9.

The Financial Times recently had a lengthy article in their 'analysis page' titled the 'Clash of the Cape Crusaders.' People in shipping may be excused for thinking that an international, mainstream business newspaper was dedicating a whole page discussing at length the 'Cape market.' In the case of the FT however, 'Cape' referred to 'Cyclically Adjusted Price Earnings' ratio; according to the way PE is adjusted for cyclicality, the broader US stock market can be either undervalued or overvalued. Based on the same benchmark.
Shipping's capesize market has been experiencing a resurrection recently that has got many industry pundits wondering whether the worst is behind us or just that the recent improvement in this market is a just another 'false positive' sign. Thus, shipping's own cape debate is whether the market is overvalued or undervalued in its own small universe. Not a small question, really.
First the good news: in the first ten days of September, average capesize rates moved from about $15,000 pd to $27,00 pd (up 80%), while the Baltic Capesize Index (BCI) climbed about 1,000 points to 3,243 (up 45%) and transport cost by 31% from West Australia to Qingdao (China) at $12.1 / ton and about 18% higher on the Tubarao (Brazil) – Qingdao (China) route to $ 23.5 / ton. Given that this time last year capes, on average, were earning less than $5,000 pd, and that it costs about $8,500 pd in daily operating expenses to run such a vessel, the present rate of $27,000 pd is a most welcome development! In long forgotten days, such rates may have been a cause to pop a champagne bottle.
As great the improvement in rates as it has been, we all sort of have seen this story before where rates improved seasonally / temporarily and then deflated rapidly again. However, it seems that the increase in rates this time is driven by end demand and higher production of steel bars in China, which translates into higher demand for iron ore (while quite often in the recent past, increase in freight rates was driven by pure stock piling / replenishing inventories). Bloomberg reported that steel reinforcement-bar futures in Shanghai have climbed to $613 per ton recently, while steel output has increased to 2.12 million tons in late August. These all despite the fact that iron pricing is up about 25% in the last three months at $138 / ton and iron ore stockpiles stand about 22% lower than the year ago.
Thus, so far, the news is fairly encouraging, which is most welcome in a market that has been brutally battered by the storms of the weakening word trade and other market dynamic considerations.
Now, the bad news: Rio Tinto has announced an earlier than expected iron ore new capacity to 290 million tons (from 230 million tons previously) on an annual basis. This would have been 'great' news, if not that most of this new production and also additional production coming to market by other miners is taking place in West Australia, which is much closer to China than new production in Brazil, which would had absorbed much more tonnage for the transport of same amount of cargo.
And more bad news: while in the last three months about six capes per month were entering the market via deliveries from shipbuilders (vs more than 15 deliveries per month in 2012), still more than twice as many capes delivered this year than got scrapped (about 70 deliveries vs 30 scrapings); year-to-date, about 130 newbuildings (plus 30 more options) were ordered. Admittedly it's tough sourcing rumor from fact on these 'orders' and still to be seen how many of these newbuilding vessels will eventually 'hit the water', but it's almost incomprehensible that 10% of the world cape fleet has just been contracted anew in 2013 when on average, year-to-date, average cape freight rates ($10,500 pd) remained just above operating expense levels. The overall cape orderbook stands at about 20% of the world cape fleet (depending on assumptions), while more than 50% of the world cape fleet is newer than five years old.
Looking at the forward curve for some guidance, while the physical freight market for capes improved and the paper market (FFAs) moved along to same levels for Q4 2013, the forward curve for the next three years stands sizably lower at about $18,500 (admittedly much higher than the level of $11,500 for CAL14 in early June but nowhere close to level covering cash expenses).
The recent developments in the cape market, as welcome and encouraging as they have been, still have not changed our bearish assessment in an earlier posting on this site. It will take more than a market rally to make us reconsider. It's not that demand is not there…
In our opinion, the shipping 'cape debate' is bit clearer to award than the CAPE debate on the US stock markets, in our opinion …

In this undisputed Review, we demonstrate that Click Money System is a scam that misleads binary options traders. It has introduced by Julia and Harold. Julia and Harold say that Click Money System is a binary trading application that is making a bunch of cash each day. It professedly can make you a millionaire within a year.
They have been added offering the thought that when you use Click Money System on autopilot mode, you will over $14000 consistently. We are sorry to learn that Click Money System is a front to tear individuals' cash promptly you store your well-deserved money into their account.
The Click Money System
As far back as Harold was at college, he had an enthusiasm for coding and binary trading. Subsequent to graduating, he figured out how to set up his very own product organization. Later on, Julia goes along with him next to him and together they grow the software business further. Later they purchased by a Wall Street trading organization.
The Click Money System group was initially settled more than 5 years back in 2011 By Julia and Harold. Inside a couple of years, The Click Money System APP programming had extended and was reliably making over $19,713 every day for each of its individuals.
Click Money System – Scam Or Legit ! Undisputed Review !!
By going to the official site of this new trading robot, you can without much of a stretch notice that there is nothing disgusting, shabby or pointless on it. Be that as it may, this is not a sign that the item is genuine in light of the fact that there is quite data gave about the framework, by any stretch of the imagination. There is not much information about the system and how it works. The video contains the presentation of the framework, which has taken care of by the makers – Julia and Harold.
Besides, you can't see any significant evidence that the two relatives let us know reality as they both appear like paid performing artists yet not by any stretch of the imagination professional traders. Also, the way that part of the video was shot in a deluxe villa, fancy cars, which is obviously to lure the newbie traders to get into their trap.
Click Money System Amazing Profit Claim
We need to make it clear that expressing that product like the Click Money System will make $14,000 every day on total autopilot mode is exceedingly uncommon. That is a substantial aggregate for any trading app. In case you're great with math, you may likewise on a split second notice something else. Regardless of how you multiply it out, making $14,000 every day will even now not get you near making $16 million in a solitary year like they claim.
Click Money System Website Age
According to our investigation, the website of Click Money System has registered on 31st August 2016. Therefore, how do they claim that they have profited with this app for more than five years? This is absolutely fraudulent and misleading.
Click Money System Is A SCAM !!
We can doubtlessly say that Click Money System by Julia and Harold is a total trick. The actualities represent themselves. A product that makes no loss? That is never been known about, nor there ever be an application that will be that great. That is a straightforward truth. The miserable truth is that people have misled by Julia, Harold, and their email promoting the group. On the off-chance that you get an email from this product asking you to enlist, erase it and disregard. We, hence, have no choice however to blacklist the Click Money System as a SCAM.
DaxRobot is a dedicated Forex & CFD trading application that trades Bitcoin, Ethereum, NEO, and Litecoin & All the other major currencies. It is a fully automatic app. It has an accuracy rate of up to 91%. Therefore, you can earn between $100 to $220 per day consistently.

|"Leopardfur growled deep in her throat, but it was a warning to her own cats. They were to stay back. The RiverClan deputy stared Tigerclaw straight in the eye. "This has gone beyond a border fight," she murmured. "We shall return to our Clan. It has become a matter to settle at another time and in a different way."
|— Leopardfur after Whiteclaw's death in in Fire and Ice, chapter 8
- Below contains in-depth information for chapter eight of Fire and Ice. If you are looking for a shorter summary of the entire book, please check the main article.
- Chapter Number: 8 (of 30)
- Page Numbers: 88-99
Chapter description
- Leopardfur calls out to Whiteclaw, the RiverClan warrior who fell down the gorge after his battle with Graystripe, who tells Leopardfur that he had tried to grab the warrior, but Whiteclaw had lost his footing.
- The RiverClan cats turn to face Graystripe, while Willowpelt and Whitestorm take defensive positions beside the young ThunderClan warrior. Leopardfur gives her patrol a warning to stay back, and tells Tigerclaw that the battle had gone beyond a border fight, and that it would be settled in a different way.
- Tigerclaw returns the stare, and the RiverClan cats disappear into the bushes. Deadfoot tells Tigerclaw that they should leave, and that Fireheart and Graystripe had served WindClan well. As the two WindClan warriors leave, Fireheart says good-bye to Onewhisker. Fireheart notices Sandpaw staring down the gorge. Fireheart notes that she nearly shared Whiteclaw's fate. Fireheart pads toward her, but Tigerclaw tells the young warrior to follow him. Tigerclaw leads his patrol through the forest. Graystripe lags behind, and Fireheart urges him to continue.
- Tigerclaw leads the patrol through RiverClan territory, at which Fireheart notes that it was pointless to go through Fourtrees after the battle, as they weren't going to meet any RiverClan cats. Tigerclaw sees Fireheart and Graystripe behind the patrol, and he points out that he told the two warriors to follow him. Fireheart begins to defend Graystripe, but Tigerclaw interrupts him, telling the warrior that the sooner Graystripe was back in camp, the better.
- Fireheart retorts that Whiteclaw's death was not Graystripe's fault. Tigerclaw tells him that he knows that, and tells them to keep up. When they entered the camp, the ThunderClan cats come out to greet them. Mousefur asks Fireheart if they found WindClan and if they were safe. Fireheart only nods at Mousefur, while the rest of ThunderClan hang back.
- Tigerclaw orders Graystripe and Fireheart to come with him, and leads them to Bluestar's den. She welcomes them, and asks Fireheart if they found WindClan and brought them back. Fireheart tells her that they did and WindClan was safe in their camp, and that Tallstar thanks ThunderClan. She shows her delight, and notices Tigerclaw, and asks him what happened. Tigerclaw explains to her that Fireheart decided to go through RiverClan territory. Graystripe points out that it wasn't only Fireheart who decided, but Tigerclaw interrupts, and tells Bluestar that a RiverClan patrol found them, and if his patrol didn't hear them, the two warriors wouldn't have made it back to the camp at all.
- Bluestar thanks Tigerclaw for rescuing the two warriors, but he points out that they were fighting beside the gorge, and that the RiverClan warrior Whiteclaw had fallen over the edge. Fireheart notices his friend Graystripe flinch at Tigerclaw's words. Bluestar asks if the cat was dead, but Fireheart cuts in, telling her that it was an accident.
- Tigerclaw doubts that Leopardfur saw it that way, and he turns on Fireheart, and asks him what he was thinking to travel with WindClan cats over RiverClan territory, and points out that he sent a message to ShadowClan and RiverClan. Bluestar is alarmed at this, and Fireheart explains that Tallstar gave them an escort home.
- Tigerclaw points out that they shouldn't have been on RiverClan territory with WindClan cats. Fireheart protests, and tells him that it wasn't an alliance, Tigerclaw snaps back that RiverClan didn't know that, and Fireheart argues that RiverClan knew that ThunderClan was going to bring WindClan back, and that they shouldn't have attacked.
- Tigerclaw points out that they didn't agree to let them pass through their territory, and that Fireheart still didn't understand Clan ways. Bluestar speaks up, and scolds them, telling them that they should not have intruded on RiverClan grounds, and that it was dangerous.
- Bluestar tells them that they did well finding WindClan, but that they need to prepare for an attack from RiverClan. She tells Fireheart and Graystripe that Frostfur's kits are almost apprentices, and that they were to mentor them.
- Fireheart is stunned, and notices Tigerclaw, who makes no noise. Graystripe points out that Frostfur's kits aren't six moons, and Bluestar explains that it wouldn't be long before her kits reached six moons. Tigerclaw asks Bluestar if it wouldn't be better to ask experienced warriors, like Longtail and Darkstripe. Bluestar explains to Tigerclaw that she did consider that, but tells him that Longtail and Darkstripe were already bust with their own apprentices.
- Tigerclaw asks Bluestar if she considered Runningwind. Bluestar explains that Runningwind was a loyal warrior, but did not have the patience for mentoring, and that the Clan had better use for his skills. Tigerclaw asks Bluestar if she thought Fireheart and Graystripe had what it takes to train apprentices. Fireheart notes that Tigerclaw didn't think a kittypet would be able to train clanborn cats.
- Bluestar points out that they would find out, and that they brought WindClan back to the territories, and tells him that she is relying on him to oversee the training. She turns to the younger warriors, and tells them to go eat, and that they will have the ceremony soon.
- Fireheart leads Graystripe out of Bluestar's den. Fireheart points out that he is starving, he asks Graystripe if he is going to eat. Graystripe replies that he just wants to sleep. Once Fireheart is full, he walks back to the warriors' den to see his friend, and settles down in his nest.
- Willowpelt wakes up Fireheart, and tells him that it is time for the ceremony; Fireheart thanks her, and she leaves the den. He nudges Graystripe awake, excited for the coming day. Fireheart and Graystripe walk into the clearing for the ceremony.
- Halftail greets Fireheart, and tells him that he did a good job to bring WindClan home, and that he should share the story with the elders. Fireheart nods to the old cat, and notices Frostfur sitting with her kits. Fireheart asks Graystripe if he is excited.
- Graystripe just shrugs, and Fireheart tells him that Whiteclaw's death wasn't his fault, and that the gorge was the worst place to have the battle, and that the RiverClan cats knew that, as Sandpaw nearly fell off the edge also.
- Fireheart glances at Sandpaw, who is sitting with Dustpaw, who is jealous of Fireheart because he was about to become a mentor, and the apprentice hasn't gotten his warrior name. Dustpaw leans over to Sandpaw, and remarks that he feels sorry for the apprentice being mentored under Fireheart, as he was a kittypet.
- Sandpaw doesn't react. Fireheart turns back to his friend and reassures him that Bluestar didn't blame him, and that she was giving Graystripe his own apprentice. Graystripe replies that she was only doing it because they needed more warriors because he gave RiverClan an excuse to hate ThunderClan.
- Fireheart is shocked by his friend, hears Bluestar's call, and he and Graystripe walk towards Bluestar. Bluestar begins the ceremony, and tells the two kits to come forward. Fireheart notes the two kits, and believes that the ginger kit would be easy to train.
- Bluestar names Cinderpaw, the gray kit, and gives her to Fireheart; she notes that Fireheart had more then one mentor, and that she expected him to teach all the skills that he learnt from her, Lionheart, and Tigerclaw. She names the next kit Brackenpaw, the ginger kit, and Graystripe as his mentor, and she notes that Lionheart was his mentor, and that she expected him to teach all his skills to the new apprentice.
- Graystripe touches noses with Brackenpaw, and Fireheart realizes that he should of done the same. He collides his nose with Cinderpaw's, who is amused. He notes Tigerclaw's gaze, and that he was waiting for him to fail.
