[chuck] in Dharma, Luang Prabang, Tak Bat

Saffron-robed monks make their daily sunrise alms procession, or tak bat, down Sakkarin Street in Luang Prabang. Ladies kneeling at the side of the road bow and respectfully put a single ball of sticky rice in the begging bowl of each monk as they pass. Quite powerful to watch.
