All at the same alms-giving ceremony this morning.
Nearly didn't make it, having to get up at the unearthly hour of 5am, but it was well worth it.
They came from all over the provinces of northern Thailand. There were some 100,000 alms-givers and onlookers, I heard...
Good to see the army doing something useful ... a battalion present to help carry the tons of food, medicine etc ...
5.45 am ...
The abbott leading the ceremony...
Younger monks with name tags in case they get lost ...
- Knackered now though. Won't be getting up at that time again in a hurry..
