When travelling to Laos, it will be an amazing experience for any traveller to observe and even take part in the morning alms-giving ceremony. It´s a culturally remarkable heritage and a highlight of Laos as monks in saffron robes walk calmly from their wats (pagodas) to the nearby streets around the wat for morning alms offered by locals. This alms offering practice had began from ancient times when Buddha was still alive and today it has been a longstanding tradition of the Southern Buddhism sect and practised in some of the Southeast Asian countries including Laos, and Luang Prabang is one of the most well known place for observing the practice. Travel to Laos and participate in this sacred ceremony will be one of your highlights and will help enrich your Laos travel experience in a way you won´t soon forget.
