Laos New Year (Pii Mai)<\/h2>\n

Pii Mai is a three day celebration in
\nmid-April.  Definately try and experience it, as it is very fun.
\n During the celebrations people throw water, flower and sometimes
\nblack paint (that will wash out of clothes) at everyone that passes.
\n Expect to ge very wet, and enjoy yourselves.<\/p>\n

During the New Year all accommodation is
\nsnapped up quickly as Laos and foreigner visitors beseigh Luang

\naccommodation just keep wandering until you find something.<\/p>\n
