Baci
Baci/Basi (Lao: ບາສີ; Thai: บายศรี, RTGS: bai si) and su kwan (Lao: ສູ່ຂວັນ; Thai: สู่ขวัญ, RTGS: su khwan; meaning "calling of the soul") is an important ceremony practised in Lao culture, Sipsong Panna, Northern Thailand and Northeastern Thailand (Isan).
Baci is a phi ritual used to celebrate important events and occasions, such as births, marriages, ordinations, departures, returns, New Year, and welcoming or bidding farewell to honoured guests. The ritual involves tying strings around a person's wrist to preserve good luck, and has become a national custom.
