A wish tree. People write their thoughts, their wishes, etc. on a paper and put it on that tree. Seen in a shopping park
My daughter wrote for our family, using Chinese. (My family is 90 % Chines) Than she wrote in Thai, for her and our friends in Thailand. After that she wrote in German for my friends in German speaking countries. She didn't forget to write in English for my friends in English speaking countries. So she told me.
At least she was so cute and wrote in big letters: "I love my Daddy so much". This was touching.

A series of monks who are making candles at the Banbueng Temple. I got lucky and was allowed taking some snaps.
While my wife and daughter were doing their merit at the temple I was looking around. Took some photos of different kind of subjects which I spotted. I came to a place were I saw monks doing something
A monk was taking a candle mold. I have never seen in that many years in Thailand monks doing their own candles for the temple.
He carried this candle mold to a small fireplace
he shakes the candle out of the mold
Slowly he pulled the mold
and here it is - A candle
more to come - I am not that fast anymore. I have next time to think that I should use shutter speed priority or my 50mm. Maybe I should buy a 35mm

Cleaning the candle molds so they're ready for the next filling
Nothing is wasted. The wax on the floor was collected
Over fire the candle mold get heated so the next filling is smooth and doesn't cool down to fast
Some more to come

Wax pads are almost ready to melt.
People take a wax pad and write their wishes on it, using a needle.
In the mean time some old pads are poured in a wog
Slow but sure they melt. People let their pads gliding into the pan as well.
Just a few more to come

A candle wick gets on its place
People fill the melted wax into the candle mold. Their wishes goes with and when the candle get lighted the wish goes straight to heaven
If the candle mold is full and it is just a bit cold down, shredded ice is put on the top
Thanks for your patient looking at the Monk Candle Maker of Banbueng
