Tak Bat 'Alms Giving Ceremony' in Luang Prabang

Every morning before dawn, monks start walking across several streets in town, and collect 'Sticky Rice' from the People of Lunang Prabang. The morning collection of the bonzes (in Lao : Tak bat) is an animated tradition for the population of Luang Prabang.
"Tak Bat Thewo" means "Tak Bat" or "offering food to the Buddhist monk" in a day after Ok Phansa day, the 1st day of the 11th waning moon. The word "Thewo" derives from "Theworohana", which means coming down from the heaven.
This is a must see in Luang Prabang.
