About this activity

Monks Morning Almsgiving Tour (Food Offering) offers a unique and culturally enriching experience that allows you to participate in a cherished Buddhist tradition. This early morning tour provides an opportunity to observe and engage in the ritual of almsgiving, where locals offer food to monks as a gesture of respect and support.

The tour typically begins before sunrise, allowing you to witness the serene atmosphere of the awakening city. Accompanied by a knowledgeable guide, you will visit a local market to purchase fresh food items, such as rice, fruit, and snacks, which are traditionally offered to the monks.
