Boun Pha Vet at Ban Phonsikhay
Boun Pha Vet at Ban Phonsikhay in Muang Pakse is celebrated once a year. The festival takes two day and involves the entire community as well as neighboring villages. The event starts at Wat Phonsikhay with a parade (Hare Pha Vet Sandone) and a Baci ceremony later.
The highlight of Boun Pha Vet is the recital of the greatest Lao literature, the Jakata or the stories of the generous Prince Vessantara or Pha Vet. He is seen as the last incarnation of the Buddha before his rebirth as Prince Siddhartha.
