Baci Ceremony

We participated in a traditional Lao Baci Ceremony. It is performed in celebration of important events such as weddings, births, or to wish guests good luck on their journey ahead. The ceremony is performed by a Mor Phon, which is a respected elder, often a former Buddhist monk. The Mor Phon leads the ritual by chanting prayers and tying white blessings to the participants' wrists to ensure good fortune and well-being. The community's elder women often prepare the central offering, called a pah kwan.Read more
