Thai monks on daily alms round at village of Pakthongchai 2020 01 15

The daily early morning alms round is commonly practiced by monastics in the Theravada Buddhist tradition. During alms round, monks hold their alms bowl, walk silently along the road in one line by their ordination order, and share their peaceful and mindful energy with the villagers. Those who want to make an offering would wait in front of their house with the offerings on a small table.
When the monastics arrive, the villagers would take off their shoes to express humility and then respectfully place food offering into each of the monks' alms bowls, starting from the eldest monkc. After they finish, they would sit squat on the floor with their palms joined in respect, to receive blessings from the monks.

Thai Buddhists believe that giving alms is a good way to make merits, and an opportunity to practice generosity.
