10 AUGUST 2014 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: A woman burns joss paper and hell money on the first day of Ghost Month in a back alley in Bangkok's Chinatown. The seventh month of the Chinese Lunar calendar is called "Ghost Month" during which ghosts and spirits, including those of the deceased ancestors, come out from the lower realm. It is common for Chinese people to make merit during the month by burning "hell money" and presenting food to the ghosts. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
