Early morning around 5:30 am, we were waiting in front of our resort to saibat (give good merit for monks through food). In Chiang Khan, it is their tradition that every morning to do saibat. Locals and tourists lined up along the street waiting the group of monks walk pass from 9 different temples in the area. Unlike in any other part of Thailand, in here they have a specific rule to give only sticky rice and some dry snacks. It would be good and convenient to order the saibat set from the resort you stay.
