Luang Prabang  is known for its 65 Buddhist temples. Every morning, hundreds of monks from the various monasteries walk through the streets collecting alms (sticky rise). It is compulsory for every schoolboy at the age of 12 to stay at least 7 days as a munk. Many poor families send their boys here for a chanse to be educated.
