Festival days are the most interesting time to visit any temple, but attending a Chinese festival at Wat Mangkorn is an especially vibrant and colorful experience. Built in 1871, Wat Mangkorn is one of the very few Mahayana Buddhist temples in Thailand, and is the spiritual and cultural center of Bangkok's Thai-Chinese population.

Here, temple visitors make offerings of fruit, incense, ghost paper, and candles during a Spring Festival celebration.
