How they work Lao string bracelets are typically tied around the wrists of honored guests while the participants whisper a brief, well-wishing phrase. The tying of the Lao string bracelet ensures that the person wearing it is blessed as the cotton threads are considered to be holy and a knot is tied into the bracelet to keep the soul tied to the body. A Lao string bracelet represents friendship, innocence, and kindness and is typically worn until it breaks off on its own. Styles A Lao string bracelet is typically white, but may be in another color such as orange. Materials Lao string bracelets are made from cotton threads.
