24 JUNE 2011 - CHIANG MAI, THAILAND: A monk blesses a man and ties a string to his wrist at Wat Phra Singh in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Wat Phra Singh is the most revered Buddhist temple in Chiang Mai because it houses the Phra Singh (Lion Buddha). The exact origin of the Buddha is unknown though it is known to have resided in Buddhist temples in Sukothai, Ayuthaya, Chiang Rai and Luang Prabang before coming to Chiang Mai in approximately 1360.
