People Pray at Wat Sothon

31 MAY 2017 - CHACHOENGSAO, THAILAND: People apply gold leaf to a statue of the reclining Buddha at Wat Sothon (also spelled Sothorn) in Chachoengsao, Thailand. The temple is one of the largest and most visited in Thailand. People make merit by paying to wrap the Buddha statues in yellow robes. The temple is most famous because people leave hard boiled eggs as an offering at the temple. They ask for business success or children and leave hundreds of hard boiled eggs. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
