There is a new, huge effigy of a revered Thai Monk in a paddock in Ang Thong province beside the main road from Bangkok to Chiang Mai.
Pictured is a smaller effigy of the same monk in a merit-making pavilion in the same complex....it has been daubed with gold-leaf.

In Thailand the seeking of white skin is an opportunity that Big Pharma is exploiting with great enthusiasm.
A 2 minute search of our bathroom revealed 4 products that demonstrate this bonanza. Actually...its not just Thailand...I have witnessed the same or even greater enthusiasm in India, China, Philippines, Vietnam... |
