Since the start of the Chinese New year, devotees have been flocking to Wat Mangkon Kamalawat -- also known as Wat Leng Noei Yi in Chinatown -- to pray and seek the blessings for the months to come.
In February each year, the temple, widely regarded as the most sacred Chinese shrine in the kingdom, hosts throngs of visitors from all over the country -- all hoping to take part in a ritual to dispel bad luck from their lives and pray for prosperity for the year ahead.
