A shot taken with me and Noi's parents and related relatives outside Wat Pha Nom. Noi invited me and her good friend Annabel to the ceremonies at the wat this morning, and we had some time to walk around and came to this building with the Buddha stautes and I put my camera on the tripod and used the self timer.  After everyone had given alms we sat down and prayed along with the monks. I was somewhat "bad" because I wasn't praying and was taking photos. I finally was nudged and followed along as I should have been doing. I'm still learning... 

 

 
This is a yearly ceremony for the wat and is a time when the wat's supporters can bring special foods for the monks. Noi's mom brought a fish mixture in banana leaves and you can see all the different foods everyone brought.
