  • 04 JANUARY 2012 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: The "Mae Nak" Shrine at Wat Mahabut in eastern Bangkok.  "Mae Nak" is one of the most famous of all Thai ghosts. Legend has it that she died while pregnant when her husband was away serving as a soldier in the Siamese army. People come from across Bangkok to pray at the shrine, seek good fortune and lucky lottery numbers. The temple was built in 1762 and predates the founding of the city of Bangkok. Just a few minutes from downtown Bangkok, the neighborhoods around Wat Mahabut are interlaced with canals and still resemble the Bangkok of 60 years ago. Wat Mahabut is a large temple off Sukhumvit Soi 77. The temple is the site of many shrines to Thai ghosts. Many fortune tellers also work on the temple's grounds.    PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
