another shot from my trip to Bangkok. these are actually miniature golden Buddhas around the temple of the golden Buddha. they serve as containers of cremated ashes of the dead for those who have donated for the care and maintenance of the temples. you see such miniature Buddhas in most Thai temples, but in this temple they are all painted with gold leaf to resemble the golden Buddha.
please see the rest of my Bangkok set if you have time: www.flickr.com/photos/doctony/sets/72157600337951459/show/
