18 JULY 2013 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: A school girl has her fortune told by a fortune teller on the grounds of Wat Mahabut. Wat Mahabut is one of about 880 temples in Bangkok. It's located in Phra Khanong to the east of the city center. It was built in 1762, five years before the fall of Ayutthaya and named Phra Mahabut, the monk who established the temple. It's popular with fortune tellers and seers and most famous as being the home of "Mae Nak," the ghost of a woman who died in childbirth while her husband, a conscripted soldier, was away at a war.
