Located in Ang Sila, a fishing village in Chonburi, this Chinese temple is a riot of colour and intricate detail. The Dharma Rasami Maneerat Foundation developed the shrine in honour of the King of Thailand’s 72nd birthday, with small additions and touching up still taking place. All deities are represented, as well as historical figures and murals depicting tales from Chinese folklore. Pilgrims visit to pray for luck in health, business, love and life in general – indeed, the main challenge is being able to find the figurine or statue specific to your quest to kneel before – there are simply so many! For the photographer, your lens will be drawn to the rich details, even though you know that your software won’t be able to make sense of the assault of colours!
