Burma / Myanmar: An oddly painted wooden panel at the 18th century Buddhist temple of Wat Ban Ngaek, Kyaing Tong (Kengtung), Shan State. Wat Ban Ngaek is a remote forest temple situated in a Tai Loi (Mountain Thai) or Lua inhabited border region of easternmost Burma. The temple, which is located near to an ancient trade route between Sipsongpanna or Xishuangbanna in China and Kengtung in Shan State, is thought to be about 300 years old and to have been built on the orders of the Thai Khoen rulers of Kengtung (or perhaps the lords of Chiang Saen in Thailand, then under Burmese rule) to serve the needs of travellers on the old trade route.
