The Alms Giving Ceremony (Tak Bat)
Every morning at dawn, a silent procession of saffron-robed monks walks through the streets to collect alms from local residents. This ancient ritual is a beautiful expression of faith and community connection.
If you choose to observe or participate, please do so with deep respect: maintain a quiet distance, dress modestly, and avoid using camera flashes.
