The Golden Bowl

If you are flying Thai Airways this month, take a look at my article in Sawasdee magazine about Ang Thong province, just north of Bangkok. I also have the cover shot.

The image was taken at Wat Muang, home to Phra Buddha Maha Nawamin, the largest Buddha statue in the country and the ninth tallest in the world. This spectacular 92-metre high (300 feet) and 63-metre (210 feet) wide seated Buddha towers over worshippers as they reach up to grasp its huge fingernails and whisper their prayers. Construction of this monumental golden image began in 1990 and was finally completed in 2008. Today, the faithful make merit here in the belief that they will be more successful in business.
