Savannakhet Pi Mai Lao

Savannakhet's Pi Mai centers on Kaysone Phomvihane City, with officials formally opening the festival at venues like Savan ITECC before neighborhood water-throwing and temple offerings take over the streets. As Laos's most populous province and a Mekong crossing point opposite Thailand, Savannakhet blends religious ritual with a strong community and cross-border commercial feel distinct from the northern festival circuit's tourist scale.

Savannakhet's Pi Mai centers on Kaysone Phomvihane City, the provincial capital named for the country's first post-1975 leader, where officials formally open the new year celebrations each year with ceremonies staged at venues such as the Savan ITECC exhibition center before the festivities spread into the town's streets and temples.
