I know you're in the States, but (it seems) you're inquiring about Thai temples (and Thais)...in Thailand it's not an issue...if it burns, it's used...

Luckily the incense sticks used in Thailand are are still a sensible size:
And have not been supersized, like in China...

Greetings all,
Yes, I am in the United States. I was just wondering if Thais used any specific incense. I wanted to know for my own personal incense usage during my daily devotions. Thank you for your information appicchato.
Mike, wow. That is big incense...It's kind of...extravagant and over the top. It's not necessary to burn something like that. That money could have been put towards helping the poor and needy instead of making such big incense sticks.
