  • 12 NOVEMBER 2012 - BANGKOK, THAILAND:   A shop worker puts the eyes on a Buddha statue in front of a shop on Bamrung Muang Street in Bangkok. The eyes are cut from pieces of plastic and glued to the statue. Thanon Bamrung Muang (Thanon is Thai for Road or Street) is Bangkok's "Street of Many Buddhas." Like many ancient cities, Bangkok was once a city of artisan's neighborhoods and Bamrung Muang Road, near Bangkok's present day city hall, was once the street where all the country's Buddha statues were made. Now they made in factories on the edge of Bangkok, but Bamrung Muang Road is still where the statues are sold. Once an elephant trail, it was one of the first streets paved in Bangkok. It is the largest center of Buddhist supplies in Thailand. Not just statues but also monk's robes, candles, alms bowls, and pre-configured alms baskets are for sale along both sides of the street.

  • 08 SETEMBER 2018 - BANGKOK, THAILAND:  A craftsman makes a statue of a mouse that will go on a Ganesh statue at Wat Witsanu Hindu Temple, also called the Vishnu Temple, in Bangkok. Indian craftsmen are making statues of the Hindu deity Ganesha for the Ganesh Chaturthi, or Ganesh Festival, held at Hindu temples in September. All of the craftsmen, and the clay they use to fashion the statues, come from India every year to make the statues.
