Laos & Cambodia - Lao New Year

This album is a selection of the photographs of Lao New Year in Lang Prabang that I took whilst travelling to Laos & Cambodia on a photo tour with Steve Davey in April 2011. Lao New Year consists of a religious procession with the monks and others being gentle doused with water … after the procession thing escalate into an all out water fight which it is impossible to avoid and easier to join in. I have never been wetter!

Check out Steve's site at http://www.bettertravelphotography.com for information on his future photo tours. Steve is an excellent teacher and happily imparts his years of experience plus he is great fun to travel with. I definitely recommend his tours.
