14 AUGUST 2014 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: A man paints a dragon in a small Chinese shrine in the Talat Noi section of Bangkok. Most Thais are Theravada Buddhists but many Chinese-Thais are Mahayana Buddhists. Talat Noi is a small part of Chinatown that dates back to the Ayutthaya period. It is a melting pot of various cultures and was originally settled by Portuguese, Vietnamese, Hokkien, Teochew and Hakka Chinese. Now it is mostly small mechanical shops and used car parts.
