The Monks
Each morning, we hear the gong at the Wat (Temple) close to Kris and Khamko's house sounding at 6:00 AM. This is the wake up call for the Monks. The Monks pass their house between 6:30 - 6:45 AM. Their task is collect food for the day. Mao usually is up and feeds them. Last year, we also went with her to help feed. They usually collect sticky rice in the baskets that they carry as well as other bars of candy and cookies. Money can also be given. After collecting the food from each individual, they offer a verbal blessing.
