Bin tha bath, the food donation to the monks

In Buddhist counties like Laos, monks will traditionally go out at down and collect their food from local people. Here is to see a long line of monks leaving the monastery every morning each day. Monks are not necessarily vegetarian, it depends on what food its given to them. However they will object to any meat that has ben killed just for them. Each day they will collect enough food for breakfast and the meal before midday. They will not eat or drink after this time (except clear water).
