Worth waking up at 5 am. - Tat back is on every morning between 5.30 - 6.30 am pending how many people or how many monks are there. Make sure you are dress appropriately, cover shoulder and knees, take a tuk tuk , get there and pay US$3 for a large basket of rice. The locals will instruct you what to do. Apparently, the monks will share what they receive in the morning so you don't have to worry if you miss handing out to some. A wonderful tradition of sharing and looking after each other. 👍🏼
