Army of Chickens Invades Sacred Temple Grounds … Chiang Mai, Thailand – Colourful Photography

This colorful throng of chickens seemed quite out of place in the temple grounds. 

Fowl invasion

In the center of the temple grounds, a large pedestal was covered with this throng of tiny plaster chickens, along with a few much larger ones.  All the inscriptions were in Thai, so I could not discover the reason for this fowl invasion.  

Thanks for the food

Chicken is a very popular meat in Thailand. Therefore, the focus on fowl may have been an expression of gratitude for providing nutrition and sustenance to the people.
