08 FEBRUARY 2015 BANGKOK, THAILAND: A Muslim woman and her children finish their breakfast during the community meal at the Sikh temple in Bangkok. Thailand has a small but influential Sikh community. Sikhs started coming to Thailand, then Siam, in the 1890s. There are now several thousand Thai-Indian Sikh families. The Sikh temple in Bangkok, Gurdwara Siri Guru Singh Sabha, was established in 1913. The current building, adjacent to the original Gurdwara ("Gateway to the Guru"), was built in 1979. The Sikh community serves a daily free vegetarian meal at the Gurdwara that is available to people of any faith and background. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
