Alms circuit (near Ratchada) – before the morning buzz kicks in
Walking about the neighborhood market
Best street stall coffee I ever had!
You Tiao (chinese doughnut) to go along with the coffee
Food sold for almsgiving
Almsgiving act in action (sorry for the faraway and blurry pic)

 

My first participation in a holy but common practice amongst the locals: almsgiving to the buddhist monks.

Up at the break of dawn to head on over to a almsgiving circuit near the hotel,  where we had the chance to relish morning buzz from the neighborhood market and witness the many almsgiving acts by the locals before following suit ourselves.

The tranquil and peaceful morning has left a wonderful end to our stay here.
