» Under beautifully decorated gold lacquered parasols called tee kham were more than 30 boys donned in ancient-style Myanmar apparel and a crown being carried on the shoulders of their male relatives. They were part of a procession of hundreds of people wearing traditional Shan clothes, playing music, dancing or carrying thaiyathan (necessary things for monks).

The situation was similar at eight other temples in Ayutthaya and two neighbouring provinces we visited. Visiting temples in flood-hit areas is an opportunity for us to learn how many temples coped with the disaster and why a few were spared by the floodwater.
