Morning alms walk — the quiet version
Prepare sticky rice the night before. Sit on the curb at 5:45 a.m. Take it slow.

About this experience
In Bounmy's words.
Bounmy briefs you the evening before — how to prepare the sticky rice yourself, where to sit, how the offering works. Pre-dawn meeting, then the monks come past in a long orange line at the right time of the morning. No photographers in your face. No tour bus. Just you, the curb, and a small offering done properly. Coffee and a quiet breakfast afterwards.
