A few more photos of Doi Suthep temple, in Chiang Mai, Thailand. People place bills on the money tree below to buy merit so they will be reborn in a higher position for the next life. I was wondering if the MOM meant this temple was dedicated to all mothers, or was an acronym like "Master of Magnimosity" After some internet research, I found MOM may be a kind of mythical chimera. That would explain the label--simply a transliteration of the Thai sound since no word exists for the creature in English.
