Amphawa, Thailand –
“Ride ‘em, cowboy!”
The phrase entered my head as the child hopped on the statue of a fighting cock like it was a horse.
Hands on the neck, he was ready to ride.
The fact that it was a bird didn’t seem to phase him.
It was an animal, and it was just his size.
He could care less about what else there was to see here.
Eventually, his parents enticed him off the cock, and on to the temple.
After all, that was what they had come here to see.
It’s not every day you see a temple inside a tree.
