This was only part of the family, a small group this meal. The next night there were 30 or so people - the whole family and many from the village. We ate upstairs in the sleeping quarters! (see previous pic). As a monk, Khamchanh can only eat breakfast and lunch (before noon); but otherwise cannot eat for the rest of the day. It was a wee bit uncomfortable for me sitting around with him and his family enjoying dinner without him eating.
