Thai Chickens!

Here we are across the world and guess what... they have chickens here too. We've experienced several chickens in various red and green curry sauces, but there were a couple of live ones also.  

This first picture is of a bantam who was hanging out in a Buddhist temple on the island of Koh Samui, Thailand. The temple was a large complex with a smiling Buddha, a large building, and a very Hindu-looking statue of a woman with twenty arms each holding something different. There were several chickens milling about, and they all seemed to speak a language similar to the Ladies.


This next picture is of the Mother Hen and the Rooster in Singapore in front of a large rendition of what we took to be a chicken by Colombian sculptor Fernando Botero. It's entitled "Bird," but we know what he was really using as a model.











Finally, here's a picture to prove we really are where we say we are. After all, do we have Buddhas this big back home?
