Theravada Buddhist monk with ceremonial fan, Grand Palace, central Bangkok. Thai monks often carry fans to help maintain meditative focus while navigating through secular distractions in public spaces. The use of fans or talipots is part of a longstanding tradition in Thai Buddhist culture, appearing regularly in religious and royal ceremonies as symbols of honour and authority. Digital slide scan, Asahi Pentax Spotmatic (SMC Pentax Zoom 45~125mm f/4), circa 1983.
