Thais come from all over Thailand to be tattooed by the temple's monks on their bodies being inked by hand using a long metal stylus during the wat bang phra tattoo festival held annually. The religious tattoos are believed to be protection from ghost and bad spirits, mant devotee's work themselves into a trance like stance during the strange ritual. Wat Bang Phra translates into English as the "Temple of the Little Buddha".
