Each and every year, we pick this date because it coincides along Easter week-end. Many of us had this week-end OFF (from work) that contributed to thousand participants included from Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama and some from Florida.

Thanks to all "Phee Nong"...Hope to see y'all again next year smile

Oh! I see. In USA the Pee Mai Lao is not reconized by authority legally, unlike Eatser. Yes, no choice.

In a way, it's good also, albeit a bit earlier than in Laos. At least, your new generation would know the name or event similarly to the event happening in Laos. "Pee Mai Lao" sounds good. Why? There is a word "Lao".

Sokdee Pee Mai Lao Pee Nong Lao in USA.

Well heck if they're going to change the date why not make it on the 4th of July when it's good and hot. April 13 can be snowing here outside of Denver. Kids throwing water are shivering.

You don't want to be outside in the middle of the summer in the south.
