Buddhism

 

Buddhism is everywhere in Champasak, as in the rest of the country. Religious festivals punctuate local life.

Even urban planning is a consequence of Buddhism since the villages are organized in a row around Buddhist temples.

On foot or by bike, you can go from one to the other to listen to the chanting of the monks, and with discretion, observe the practices of the villagers.
