09 OCTOBER 2012 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: A novice Buddhist monk collects alms in the Bangkok Flower Market. Most males in Thailand enter the Sangha (become Buddhist monks) at least once in their lives. Their time in the Sangha may be as short as a few weeks or as long as a lifetime commitment. The Bangkok Flower Market (Pak Klong Talad) is the biggest wholesale and retail fresh flower market in Bangkok. It is also one of the largest fresh fruit and produce markets in the city. The market is located in the old part of the city, south of Wat Po (Temple of the Reclining Buddha) and the Grand Palace. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
