This shot was taken at Luang Prabang in Laos. Binthabat is a profound expression of generosity, a cardinal virtue for the Lao people, and is a significant source of religious merit for the Buddhist community. It is probably the closest religious interaction between lay people and monks. Whenever it is performed, it is done with a profound sense of beauty and affection, with piety, care, thoughtfulness, and with deep commitment.

Hi Ivan, Thanks for dropping by. It’s fine to take picture of them but photographs from a distance. '?
One of my dreams is to meet a monk. The photo’s really beautiful, Bino. '?
Thank you Renz. '? In Thailand, there are temples where they encourage travellers to have a conversations with the monks. This is to develop their English and communication skills. '?
Excellent job here!
Pangarap ko rin makakuha ng ganyang shot =)
Flattered naman ako. Thanks Christian. I’m sure mas maganda ang magiging shot mo diyan '?
