WatSaketTempleFair

27 NOVEMBER 2012 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: Buddhist nuns walk past a ferris wheel spinning in front of Wat Saket during the temple fair in Bangkok. Wat Saket, popularly known as the Golden Mount or "Phu Khao Thong," is one of the most popular and oldest Buddhist temples in Bangkok. It dates to the Ayutthaya period (roughly 1350-1767 AD) and was renovated extensively when the Siamese fled Ayutthaya and established their new capitol in Bangkok. The temple holds an annual fair in November, the week of the full moon. It's one of the most popular temple fairs in Bangkok. The fair draws people from across Bangkok and spills out in the streets around the temple. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
