Daily alms ceremony, known as Sai Bat, takes place on Sisavangvong Rd from 5-6 AM, where monks collect rice from kneeling villagers and tourists. Travelers can participate by preparing food themselves, but there are concerns about unscrupulous merchants selling unsuitable offerings, causing monks to fall ill. The tradition faces criticism due to these issues and the intrusive nature of photography; travelers are encouraged to observe respectfully from a distance to preserve the ceremony's integrity.
