The wai khru ceremony is a Thai ritual in which students pay respects to teachers in order to express their gratitude and formalize the student–teacher relationship. This particular wai khru is for the Arjahn Thoy a master of the sacred art of Sak Yant, the traditional magic tattoo from Thailand. Once a year the other arjahn that have learned from him make the ceremony to honour their master. In this occasion, in Bangkok, I took this photo of the master and all his disciples.
