The capital of LAOS has moved to Vientiane but LP remains the religious centre. It is a very special place with 33 temples and for me, as it's 1,000 metres up, the climate is comfortable for most of the day. There are 33 temples, many within walking distance of the centre.
Monks Evening Chanting
Drums are beaten around 4pm and as the sun sets gongs can be heard and then the front doors of all the Monasteries open.
Meditation
There are some forms of meditation unique to LAOS, Tudong is when a monk takes a white umbrella and heads into the forest. If you're interested take a look at the below, there's also a good video.
