Some tables were placed just in front of the Buddhist temple

I turned off Yaowarat Road and stepped into a dimly lit alley. I had heard that there was a local restaurant that served delicious Khao Man Gai here. It is called "Hainanese-style chicken rice" in Japan, and is a dish of boiled chicken and rice. It is common everywhere in Southeast Asia, including Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Singapore, and is called Khao Man Gai in Thailand. Khao means rice, man means oil, and gai means chicken. Just as it is. I entered an alleyway and found a restaurant, and without any difficulty, I was able to get my hands on a Khao Man Gai.

After filling my stomach, I calmly observed the area around the restaurant and found a Buddhist temple right in front of the restaurant. It was Wat Bamphen Chin Phrot, a Mahayana Buddhist temple, which is rare in Thailand. The temple, neither famous nor otherwise, was deserted, but there were tables lined up at the entrance, like part of a cafeteria. Inside the dimly lit hall, a Buddha statue shone quietly, and a woman was having lunch just outside.
