Early in the morning, the villagers dress up elaborately for mass sticky rice (Khao Liew), alms offering, queuing up unwearyingly in a long single row. They seem to have utmost respect for this merit making ceremony. After the monks have been offered, the first person from the queue follows behind the last monk, carries on but this time they part take the sticky rice to one another. Children were happily giving alms to their parents, friends and friends saying nice word to each other while giving. You can feel the gratitude and of course imagine the amount of sticky rice left at the end of the day.
