I like this photo -- Nancy took it of course. The ruined temple complex that contains Khun Poke's phallic image. Note that even the headless Buddhas get swathed in saffron robes on important religious holidays. Buddha's image is seriously worshipped here, and you might wonder where all the heads went. Did the Burmese take them after they sacked Ayutthaya and went back home? Nope. You can find these Buddhas' heads in museums and in private collections across Europe and the U.S.!
