  • 07 MARCH 2015 - NAKHON CHAI SI, NAKHON PATHOM, THAILAND: A child on a merry-go-round on the midway at the Wat Bang Phra tattoo festival. Wat Bang Phra is the best known "Sak Yant" tattoo temple in Thailand. It's located in Nakhon Pathom province, about 40 miles from Bangkok. The tattoos are given with hollow stainless steel needles and are thought to possess magical powers of protection. The tattoos, which are given by Buddhist monks, are popular with soldiers, policeman and gangsters, people who generally live in harm's way. The tattoo must be activated to remain powerful and the annual Wai Khru Ceremony (tattoo festival) at the temple draws thousands of devotees who come to the temple to activate or renew the tattoos. People go into trance like states and then assume the personality of their tattoo, so people with tiger tattoos assume the personality of a tiger, people with monkey tattoos take on the personality of a monkey and so on. In recent years the tattoo festival has become popular with tourists who make the trip to Nakorn Pathom province to see a side of "exotic" Thailand.   PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 03 NOVEMBER 2017 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: A Ferris Wheel entertains children during Loi Krathong at Wat Prayurawongsawat on the Thonburi side of the Chao Phraya River. Loi Krathong is translated as "to float (Loi) a basket (Krathong)", and comes from the tradition of making krathong or buoyant, decorated baskets, which are then floated on a river to make merit. On the night of the full moon of the 12th lunar month (usually November), Thais launch their krathong on a river, canal or a pond, making a wish as they do so. Loi Krathong is also celebrated in other Theravada Buddhist countries like Myanmar, where it is called the Tazaungdaing Festival, and Cambodia, where it is called Bon Om Tuk.     PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 03 NOVEMBER 2017 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: A Ferris Wheel entertains children during Loi Krathong at Wat Prayurawongsawat on the Thonburi side of the Chao Phraya River. Loi Krathong is translated as "to float (Loi) a basket (Krathong)", and comes from the tradition of making krathong or buoyant, decorated baskets, which are then floated on a river to make merit. On the night of the full moon of the 12th lunar month (usually November), Thais launch their krathong on a river, canal or a pond, making a wish as they do so. Loi Krathong is also celebrated in other Theravada Buddhist countries like Myanmar, where it is called the Tazaungdaing Festival, and Cambodia, where it is called Bon Om Tuk.     PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 07 MARCH 2015 - NAKHON CHAI SI, NAKHON PATHOM, THAILAND: Children play on a trampoline at the Wat Bang Phra tattoo festival. Wat Bang Phra is the best known "Sak Yant" tattoo temple in Thailand. It's located in Nakhon Pathom province, about 40 miles from Bangkok. The tattoos are given with hollow stainless steel needles and are thought to possess magical powers of protection. The tattoos, which are given by Buddhist monks, are popular with soldiers, policeman and gangsters, people who generally live in harm's way. The tattoo must be activated to remain powerful and the annual Wai Khru Ceremony (tattoo festival) at the temple draws thousands of devotees who come to the temple to activate or renew the tattoos. People go into trance like states and then assume the personality of their tattoo, so people with tiger tattoos assume the personality of a tiger, people with monkey tattoos take on the personality of a monkey and so on. In recent years the tattoo festival has become popular with tourists who make the trip to Nakorn Pathom province to see a side of "exotic" Thailand.   PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
