This powerful image serves as a reminder of the enduring impact Buddhism has had on Thai society throughout history. It captures a moment frozen in time—a testament to faith, dedication, and unity among those who follow Buddha's teachings. Photographer Kerek Wongsa skillfully encapsulates not only religious devotion but also highlights how religion plays an integral role in shaping societies worldwide.
