Significado
The act of reading literature.
Contexto cultural
Books, especially religious ones, are treated with high respect. They should never be placed on the floor. Reading in cafes has become a status symbol of the educated urban youth. There is a strong emphasis on 'ອ່ານໜັງສື' (studying) to improve one's future prospects. The traditional 'book' was the 'ໃບລານ' (bai lan), which is still read by monks today.
