morning alms, Sangkhlaburi, Thailand.

Morning alms in Sangkhlaburi, a mon hilltribe settlement on the border to Myanmar, Kanchanaburi, Thailand. Monks are often accompanied by an assistant, who helps with simple tasks and carrying of donations for the temple, but i've never seen quite so many youngsters from a local community, and so cheerful so early on a fresh misty day. Quite an enchanting occasion.
