Even though the central tower (prang) at wat Arunratchawararam gets most of the glory, and the morning sun, the grounds are also quite delightful. Around the base of the prangs are various figures of ancient Chinese soldiers and animals. Over the second terrace are four statues of the Hindu god Indra riding on Erawan the mythological elephant Airavata... (I had to look that one up)... Layli, being from Alberta, could not be outdone in a rodeo ride-off so she rode the small dragon without getting bucked off, or, more importantly without getting us thrown off of the temple grounds.
I expected to see you standing behind Layli on the Dragon, shaking it back and forth to save the quarters.
