Morning Alms in Luang Prabang

This was on the day I was leaving Luang Prabang when I got up early to catch the monks in their alms giving ceremony at the crack of dawn.

Still dark outside

But quickly the sun is rising.

They have already begun.

Tourists participating

These stools were occupied by Chinese tourists earlier.

Locals in the ceremony

All of this going on on the main street in town while the road is blocked from traffic.
