The morning market was really interesting, and the explanation of local food and eating customs was helpful. Monk blessing was a much bigger part of this than expected (in a positive way) we had loads of time to chat with the monk and ask questions, which was really special.

The meal at the end was simply delicious, the tour was informative as you get a born and bred local guide.
