Beginning of the Day in Rawai Beach

The best time of day here in Thailand is in the morning, early, just before sunrise.
The temperature is exceptionally pleasant and mild: 27 to 28°C
Urban traffic is almost non-existent, only a few "songtaews" who collect their schoolchildren in silence and barely awake.
I meet some foreigners on foot, probably coming out of a nightclub, some Thai people going to work... it's flat calm, it's an extra moment!

Les longtail boats sont encore amarrés à la plage et vont reprendre d'ici peu leurs va et vient entre Rawai Beach et les îles voisines

Life begins slowly, small traders prepare their stalls

In a few hours, tourists will come to settle here, in the shade of a few pines.

The monks, on the other hand, began even before daybreak their daily rounds, in search of food

Traditional image of Thailand at the beginning of the day: it is the ritual of offering and prayer
