  • 02 JUNE 2013 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: An anti Yingluck Shinawatra protester in Bangkok. The so called White Mask protesters are strong supporters of the Thai monarchy. About 300 people wearing the Guy Fawkes mask popularized by the movie "V for Vendetta" and Anonymous, the hackers' group, marched through central Bangkok Sunday demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra. They claim that Yingluck is acting as a puppet for her brother, former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who was deposed by a military coup in 2006 and now lives in exile in Dubai.

  • 11 FEBRUARY 2015 - BANGKOK, THAILAND:  YUPIN, 77, a Catholic woman in her small snack stand near Santa Cruz Church in the Thonburi section of Bangkok. The woman is Catholic and her shop is decorated with Catholic art and pictures of the Thailand's Buddhist monarchy. The neighborhood around the church is known for the Thai adaptation of Portuguese cakes baked in the neighborhood. Several hundred Siamese (Thai) Buddhists converted to Catholicism in the 1770s. Some of the families started baking the cakes. When the Siamese Empire in Ayutthaya was sacked by the Burmese, the Portuguese and Thai Catholics fled to Thonburi, in what is now Bangkok. The Portuguese established a Catholic church near the new Siamese capital. There are still a large number of Thai Catholics living in the neighborhood around the church.           PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
