31 October, 2021 - Temple of the Ghost Bride

Visitors praying and making offerings at the shrine to Mae Nak, Thailand's most famous ghost, at Wat Mahabut, Bangkok. A beautiful young bride, Mae Nak lived in the late 19th or early 20th century. While her husband was at war, Mae Nak died during child birth... but she didn't stay dead. When her husband returned home, Mae Nak was still in the house, waiting for him. Generally seen as a benevolent ghost, devotees will leave offerings of flowers, fruit, and silk dresses.

Happy Halloween!
