ILLUSTRATED Peter McIntyre, Peter McIntyre's Pacific, (Lane Magazine and Book Co., 1970) plate 37

Thai Silk is a home industry and so along the waterways sudden splashes of glorious colour enrich the already colourful scene as the silks are hung up to dry. Bits of coloured glass, bits of broken crockery, pebbles and what-have-you, all stuck into cement in an orgy of profusion: that is a temple. - Peter McIntyre
