In this photo taken August 2, 2014, the Chinatown Gate, a key land mark that was built in 2002 to commemorate the 72nd birthday of King Bhumibol Adulyedej, stands at the main entrance to Chinatown in Bangkok, Thailand.

In this Aug. 17, 2014 photo, a group of Buddhist devotees sweep on platform at Myanmar famous Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon, Myanmar. Every evening, more than a dozen men and women walk in a tight row in front of Myanmar's most revered Buddhist pagoda, sweeping the vast marble terrace in unison in hopes of keeping it clean for barefoot pilgrims. To these volunteers, this is not a chore but a noble act, one they carry out eagerly in an effort to gain merit, or spiritual credit. (AP Photo/Khin Maung Win)
