WatBenchamabophit

31 MARCH 2015 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: An elderly Buddhist monk with a walker receives alms from Thai Buddhists at Wat Benchamabophit. Wat Benchamabophit Dusitvanaram, a Buddhist temple (wat) in the Dusit district of Bangkok, Thailand. Also known as the marble temple, it is one of Bangkok's best known temples and a major tourist attraction. It typifies Bangkok's ornate style of high gables, stepped-out roofs and elaborate finials. Monastic life at Wat Bencha differs from most other temples in that lay people come to the temple to present food and alms to the monks rather than the monks going out and walking through the community as they do at most other Thai temples.
