Early new year morning

Making offerings at temple in Mae Sot, Thailand. Apparently even though the Burmese New Year is in April like the Thai, Lao, and Cambodian ones, it's popular for many nearby Burmese to come across the border and pray here on Chinese New Year's day.

This early, though, there were only local Chinese families making offerings and setting off firecrackers in the courtyard.
