Laos - Procession of Monks in Alm Giving Ceremony in Luang Prabang
Luang Prabang is about monks and wats (Buddhist temples). Every morning the monks of Laos set out on a procession to collect alms, mostly in the form of sticky rice (khao niaw) and other food. Luang Prabang is famous for its morning alms procession - the longest in the world. This is an ancient ceremony that is carried out each morning, as they march through the main street on their way to the temple, and the people of Luang Prabang pass their gifts (sticky rice and bananas mainly) to the monks. The whole ritual took place in silence (although the street vendors are trying to sell over-priced donations to the tourists to give to the monks).
