  • 19 DECEMBER 2013 - BANGKOK, THAILAND:  Wat Arun after the sunset. Wat Arun Ratchawararam Ratchawaramahawihan or Wat Arun ("Temple of Dawn"), a Buddhist temple (wat) in Bangkok Yai district of Bangkok, on the Thonburi side of the Chao Phraya River. The temple derives its name from the Hindu god Aruna, often personified as the radiations of the rising sun. Wat Arun is among the best known of Thailand's landmarks and the first light of the morning reflects off the surface of the temple with pearly iridescence. Although the temple had existed since at least the seventeenth century, its distinctive Khmer style prang (spires) were built in the early nineteenth century during the reign of King Rama II.

  • 12 APRIL 2013 - BANGKOK, THAILAND:  Scented oils for sale in a Bangkok market on the first day of Songkran. People sprinkle the scented oils on statues of the Buddha in their homes and temples. Songkran is celebrated in Thailand as the traditional New Year's Day from 13 to 16 April. The date of the festival was originally set by astrological calculation, but it is now fixed. If the days fall on a weekend, the missed days are taken on the weekdays immediately following. Songkran is in the hottest time of the year in Thailand, at the end of the dry season and provides an excuse for people to cool off in friendly water fights that take place throughout the country. The traditional Thai New Year has been a national holiday since 1940, when Thailand moved the first day of the year to January 1. The first day of the holiday period is generally the most devout and many people go to temples to make merit and offer prayers for the new year. .  PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
