Notice

The Pi Mai Lao (Lao New Year) holiday this year will last for almost a week, following an announcement by the Prime Minister’s Office stating that the holiday will run from April 14-18. Normally the Pi Mai Lao holiday is only three days from April 14-16, but this year April 15 and 16 fall on a weekend so the government is awarding April 17 and 18 as a holiday in compensation.
Accordingly, the Vientiane Times offices will be closed from April 14-18. The next issue of the Vientiane Times will be published on April 19. The board of management and staff wish all readers a prosperous Pi Mai Lao, and hope that everyone will celebrate BE 2566 Pi Mai Lao responsibly, safely and joyfully.
