Prayers for Thailand

Ayutthaya, Thailand — June 1, 2014

Recently Thailand has been in the news for a military coup, and I know the enduring culture and wonderful people will prevail over the political turmoil, but a little prayer never hurts.

These clasped hands are covered in little squares of gold leaf bought by visitors and applied by hand in buddhist prayer in front of this rebuilt temple amid many ruins in the former political capital city of the ancient Ayutthaya Thai Kingdom from 1351 to 1767.
