  • 05 JANUARY 2012 - BANGKOK, THAILAND:  People drink at a portable bar in a red light district off of Sukhumvit Road in Bangkok. Prostitution in Thailand is technically illegal, although in practice it is tolerated and partly regulated. Prostitution is practiced openly throughout the country. The number of prostitutes is difficult to determine, estimates vary widely. Since the Vietnam War, Thailand has gained international notoriety among travelers from many countries as a sex tourism destination. One estimate published in 2003 placed the trade at US$ 4.3 billion per year or about three percent of the Thai economy. It has been suggested that at least 10% of tourist dollars may be spent on the sex trade. According to a 2001 report by the World Health Organisation: "There are between 150,000 and 200,000 sex workers (in Thailand)."      PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 11 MARCH 2012 - CHANDLER, AZ:     People participate in Buddhist chanting in the "bot" or ordination hall during Makha Bucha Day services at Wat Pa in Chandler, AZ, Sunday. Magha Puja (also spelled Makha Bucha) Day marks the day 2,500 years ago that 1,250 Sangha came spontaneously to see the Buddha who preached to them on the full moon. All of them were "Arhantas" or Enlightened Ones who had been personally ordained by the Buddha. The Buddha gave them the principles of Buddhism, called "The Ovadhapatimokha." Those principles are: to cease from all evil, to do what is good, and to cleanse one's mind. It is one of the most important holy days in the Theravada Buddhist tradition. At the temple, people participate in the "Tum Boon" (making merit by listening to the monk's preaching and giving a donation to the temple), the "Rub Sil" (keeping of the Five Precepts including the abstinence from alcohol and other immoral acts) and the "Tuk Bard" (offering food to the monks in their alms bowls). It is a day for veneration of the Buddha and his teachings. It's a legal holiday in Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Myanmar (Burma).     PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 01 OCTOBER 2014 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: A firewalker blows alcohol to stoke the fire onto the fire pit before the fire walking at Wat Yannawa (also spelled Yan Nawa) during the Vegetarian Festival in Bangkok. The Vegetarian Festival is celebrated throughout Thailand. It is the Thai version of the The Nine Emperor Gods Festival, a nine-day Taoist celebration beginning on the eve of 9th lunar month of the Chinese calendar. During a period of nine days, those who are participating in the festival dress all in white and abstain from eating meat, poultry, seafood, and dairy products. Vendors and proprietors of restaurants indicate that vegetarian food is for sale by putting a yellow flag out with Thai characters for meatless written on it in red.     PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 11 MARCH 2012 - CHANDLER, AZ:     People participate in Buddhist chanting in the "bot" or ordination hall during Makha Bucha Day services at Wat Pa in Chandler, AZ, Sunday. Magha Puja (also spelled Makha Bucha) Day marks the day 2,500 years ago that 1,250 Sangha came spontaneously to see the Buddha who preached to them on the full moon. All of them were "Arhantas" or Enlightened Ones who had been personally ordained by the Buddha. The Buddha gave them the principles of Buddhism, called "The Ovadhapatimokha." Those principles are: to cease from all evil, to do what is good, and to cleanse one's mind. It is one of the most important holy days in the Theravada Buddhist tradition. At the temple, people participate in the "Tum Boon" (making merit by listening to the monk's preaching and giving a donation to the temple), the "Rub Sil" (keeping of the Five Precepts including the abstinence from alcohol and other immoral acts) and the "Tuk Bard" (offering food to the monks in their alms bowls). It is a day for veneration of the Buddha and his teachings. It's a legal holiday in Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Myanmar (Burma).     PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
