Today is Boun Khao Salak is a significant Lao Buddhist festival celebrated during the 10th full moon (usually September) to honor deceased ancestors and make merit.

Today is Boun Khao Padapdin (also written Boun Hor Khao Padabdin) is a deeply spiritual Lao Buddhist festival dedicated to honoring deceased ancestors and feeding wandering spirits or hungry ghosts. It is one of the most important merit-making observances in Laos, typically falling in September (the ninth lunar month) according to the Lao Buddhist calendar.

It reflects the Buddhist belief in rebirth and the realm of petas (hungry ghosts)—beings who are tormented by insatiable hunger and thirst.

Offering rice packets: Families prepare small portions of rice (often sticky rice) wrapped in banana leaves, along with other food, and offer them to monks at the temple. The merit is then dedicated to the deceased.
