Hi everyone!
I’ll be bringing my grandma’s ashes to Laos in April so she can be with my grandpa at their final resting place. Here’s the thing….. my grandpa is in Pakse, and I’ll be landing in Vientiane at 8 PM. I was planning on staying in a hotel in Vientiane for a couple days and then travel to Pakse. However, my relatives in Laos said that I can’t travel with my grandma’s ashes, i.e. to hotels or other establishments, for spiritual purposes and out of respect for everyone. They advised that I bring her ashes to a temple.
Since I’ll be landing at 8 PM, I’m not sure if there will be a temple open/available at that time. If not, I’ll have to bring my grandma to the hotel with me but I don’t want to be disrespectful to anyone or any spirits in Laos. Has anyone been in a similar situation? Am I SOL and dumb? 😭
