Scaffolding encompasses the Phra Buddha Dhammakaya Thep Mongkhon statue in Bangkok, Thailand. The 226-foot landmark is the largest Buddha statue in Bangkok. Photographer Andrei Kostromskikh took this photo in 2025 while the statue was under construction. "I love finding these quiet angles where everyday life sits right next to something monumental—scaffolding and rooftops, and then a Buddha watching over it all," he says.Limitless with Chris Hemsworth
