  • 03 DECEMBER 2012 - BANGKOK, THAILAND:    A waiter in the doorway of a local cafe on Soi Baan Bat in Bangkok. Monks' alms bowls have been hand made on Soi Baan Bat, in the old part of Bangkok, for well over 200 years. The neighborhood was established by Rama I, the first king of the Chakri Dynasty, which stills reigns in Thailand. At one time, the bowl makers here made bowls for most of the monks in Bangkok. Now most bowls are factory made and the alms bowls makers are increasingly relying on tourists to buy their hand crafted bowls.     PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 03 DECEMBER 2012 - BANGKOK, THAILAND:  Monks alms bowls are fired on Soi Baan Bat in Bangkok. The bowls are made from eight separate pieces of metal said to represent the Buddha's Eightfold Path. The Monk's Bowl Village on Soi Ban Baat in Bangkok is the only surviving one of what were originally three artisan's communities established by Thai King Rama I for the purpose of handcrafting "baat" the ceremonial bowls used by monks as they collect their morning alms. Most monks now use cheaper factory made bowls and the old tradition is dying out. Only six or seven families on Soi Ban Baat still make the bowls by hand. Most of the bowls are now sold to tourists who find their way to hidden alleys in old Bangkok. The small family workshops are only a part of the "Monk's Bowl Village." It is also a thriving residential community of narrow alleyways and sidewalks.  PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
