Happy Thai, Lao and Cambodian New Year, from a Lao girl who was born in Thailand and looks…read moreCambodian, lol. I really have nothing bad to say about the temple. It's on the Southwest side of Fruit and Jensen. I wish the weather would cooperate when we do have our Lao New Year Celebrations. Wish we could have a large celebration like Louisiana and Texas, but I will take celebrating at the temple because Fresnans don't know how to act sometimes. I said what I said. Love their gorgeous new entrance. It was raining so I did not get to visit their statue area. I did get food from the Sap Lao tent. I got a platter that came with papaya salad, one of the best I've had in Fresno, pork rinds, also some of the best I've had in Fresno, 2 meatball sticks, 2 chicken wing sticks, 2 pork satay sticks and 2 sausages. A pretty good deal for $40. We also got eggrolls from them. I usually don't like a lot of tents during the new year, but really enjoyed this tent and hope to try their other food. It's so much more fun when it's hot.

I love celebrating Lao New Year with family. I didn't get to see the traditional dancing but I did make it there in time for some of the bbq sticks the stands was selling. I was craving those and some stands had already ran out. I had to go to three different food stands. It's always a good time at the temple. You hear the lao music playing, people dancing and just enjoying the vibes. You can support some of these other stands by buying raffle tickets, some Asian dresses (clothes), a whole bunch of necessities as well.
